Taking it literally?

Alright. I'm making a menu and have the following code to show each layer (each layer has an id):


function show (objToFind,idOfTarget){
var left, top;
offx = 0;
offy = 20;

if (!objToFind.onmouseout) objToFind.onmouseout = function () { hide (idOfTarget); }
what = document.getElementById(idOfTarget);
killTOs(idOfTarget);

if (typeof document.all != 'undefined') {
var textRange = document.body.createTextRange();
textRange.moveToElementText(objToFind);
var textRect = textRange.getClientRects()[0];
left = textRect.left;
top = textRect.top;
scrolll = document.body.scrollTop;
} else if (typeof document.getBoxObjectFor != 'undefined') {
var box = document.getBoxObjectFor(objToFind);
left = box.x;
top = box.y+2;
scrolll = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
}

if (ns4){
what.moveTo(left+offx,top+offy+scrolll);
}else{
what.style.top = top+offy+scrolll + 'px';
what.style.left = left+offx + 'px';
}

if (!what.onmouseover) what.onmouseover = function () { killTOs (idOfTarget); }
if (!what.onmouseout) what.onmouseout = function () { hide (idOfTarget); }
}


Now the last 2 lines of the function are part of my problems (the only part I think I need help fixing).

When I try to alert () the value of what.onmouseout (ie: alert (document.getElementById('homeMenu').onmouseout)) I get "function () { killTOs (idOfTarget); }" in the alert box, minus the quotes of course.

Now I'm wondering, how will it know what idOfTarget is when I mouseOver the object?! I really just want the onmouseout to be, for example, killTOs ('homeMenu');

Any ideas?!

Perhaps:


if (what.getAttribute ('onmouseover')=='') what.setAttribute ('onmouseover','killTOs ('+idOfTarget+');');
if (what.getAttribute ('onmouseout')=='') what.setAttribute ('onmouseout','hide ('+idOfTarget+');');


?

lol, no I'm not a skitzo... I just remembered those methods :D

I tried those lines and the menu has come alive some more.

Other suggestions are welcome.

Grrr...

It doesn't hide itself onmouseout, even though the event is set...

Plus it doesn't help that my browsers aren't shooting any errors out... Neither IE6 NOR mozilla 1.3alpha :(

ARRRG! It doesn't work in IE6! Works half-decent in Moz though...

Heh, thanks. But I'd like to make this menu mostly on my own for practice. I've already learned a few tricks along the way. Thing is, the things which should work aren't working which is making this difficult :S
