inherited onmouse events

[pruneytoes]

Is there any way to disable inheritence of onmouseout and onmouseover events, or atleast prevent them? I have a table with an onmouseout event, and cells in it with different onmouseout events, but the cells are also inheriting the event of the table, so if you move the cursor outside of a cell, it executes the table's onmouseout event, even if it is still inside the table. Any ideas on how to fix this??

Thanks

when you handle an event that bubbles (mouse & key events),
stop the event from bubbling in the handler.

somefunction(e){
e=window.event || e;
e.cancelBubble=true;
if(e.stopPropagation)e.stopPropagation();
//handle event
}
