[Javascript] calling onmouseout on table element

[billy.reisinger at gmail.com (Billy Reisinger)]

If I understand correctly, you are running into the problem where the  
table is exposed in between the rows / cells and firing the mouseout  
event when you hover over a table cell within it as well as when you  
mouse out of the table.
You should be able to use the event object's toElement or  
relatedTarget properties (depending on which exists) to interrogate  
the mouseout event in order to see if the element that the mouseout  
is going to is not part of the table as well.  Some pseudocode:

assign event handler to table;

/* in handler */
get event object;
get event.toElement or event.relatedTarget, whichever one exists
if the related element's parent is not the table in question, then:
	/* your code here */

ppk has compatibility tables for "toElement" and "relatedTarget"
