Condense onmouseover & onmouseout attributes ???

[hater]

Hello everyone,

this is my first post & not sure if i am putting it in the right spot... anyways does anyone know of a way to shorten the attribute names onmouseover & onmouseout???

I would like to wrap these to something with a smaller name say "omo" for "onmouseover", I would like to condense the code shown below, I have it repeated significantly throughout my code, about 1000 cells, mapping those attributes to a shorter name would save significant amount in my code...

is there a way to do this through a css style sheet for each <td> or through a javascript wrapper function???

<td>
<a href="test1.php"><img src="images/image1.jpg" onmouseover="function1(parameters1);" onmouseout="otherfunction();"/></a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="test2.php"><img src="images/image2.jpg" onmouseover="function1(parameters2);" onmouseout="otherfunction();"/></a></td>
<td>
<a href="test3.php"><img src="images/image3.jpg" onmouseover="funtion1(parameters3);" onmouseout="otherfunction();"/></a>
</td>

I thought that is not possible (correct me if I'm wrong).

Use js to loop through them and add the events that way.
Helps keep things tighter, properly separated and easier to maintain.

e.g.,
function setImgs() {

var imgEls = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
for (var i=0, tImg; tImg=imgEls[i]; i++) {
tImg.onmouseover = function() { function1() }
tImg.onmouseout = function() { function2() }
}

}

You can use a combination of the DOM and/or className and/or id attributes to focus the function on a more specific (sub)set of images.
How best to actually do this depends on your existing/surrounding markup.
