Definition and Usage

The mouseout event occurs when the mouse pointer is moved away from the element.

This event is most often used with mouseover events together.

The mouseout() method triggers the mouseout event, or specifies the function to be executed when a mouseout event occurs.

Note:Unlike the mouseleave event, the mouseout event is triggered regardless of whether the mouse pointer leaves the selected element or any of its child elements. The mouseleave event is only triggered when the mouse pointer leaves the selected element. Please see the demonstration in the following example.
