Question

Is it possible using jQuery (or any other JavaScript function) to detect when an onmouseover event is fired?

I have a page where existing javaScript calls a onmouseover/out events to re-write the contents of the div. I’m actually only interested in getting at what the div contains while the mouse is hovered over it. The onmouseover event is generated server-side by a program I don’t have the ability to change :(.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Here’s an even more specific example:

$('#idOfYourControl').hover(    function() { $('#divToShowText').text($(this).text()) },     function() { $('#divToShowText').text('') } );
