Element: pointerover event
The pointerover event is fired when a pointing device is moved into an element’s hit test boundaries.
pointerover events have the same problems as mouseover. If the target element has child elements, pointerout and pointerover events fire as the pointer moves over the boundaries of these elements too, not just the target element itself. Usually, pointerenter and pointerleave events’ behavior is more sensible, because they are not affected by moving into child elements.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("pointerover", (event) => { })
onpointerover = (event) => { }
Event type
A PointerEvent. Inherits from Event.
Examples
Using addEventListener():
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.addEventListener("pointerover", (event) => {
console.log("Pointer moved in");
});
Using the onpointerover event handler property:
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.onpointerover = (event) => {
console.log("Pointer moved in");
};
