Question

I just want a bit of javascript to return the title of a button element that the user is hovering on. I don’t want to use getElementById(...) because I am making a function that works without referring to an element but it’s ID. Is this possible?

Many thanks :).

Answer 1

You can use this which refers to current element like this:

<input type="button" title="mytitle" onMouseOver='alert(this.title);'>
