Details
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)
BuildID: 2001101117
object.onmouseover() doesn't fire the onMouseOver even for the object. The URL
workins in Netscape 4.x and IE5+ (Not tested with 4.x)
Basically,
<div name="blam1" id="blam1" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='000099'"
onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='007fff'" style="z-index: 1; position:
absolute; top: 15; left: 10; width: 102; height: 52; background-color:
000099"></div>
With an image over it that has the imagemap bit:
<area href="blah3.html" shape=rect coords="0,0,102,51"
onMouseOver="blam1.onmouseover()" onMouseOut="blam1.onmouseout()">
The mouseover on the area is fired, but will not call the onMouseOver for the
div tag.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://tw2.thebbs.org/blam3.html
2. Move mouse over one of the Blam buttons
3. Compare to behaviour in IE or NS 4.x
Actual Results: Nothing. :-)
Expected Results: Background color of the underlying DIV tag should change
The imagemap areas still work, so there's no real loss of function... it just
puts Mozilla on par with Opera and Konquerer for the page. :-)

Confirming on WinNT, Linux. OS: Win98 ---> All.
In the JavaScript Console, we're getting errors like:
Error: blam1 is not defined
Error: blam2 is not defined
etc.
NOTE: the source code at the above site uses <LAYER> elements
with names = "blam1", "blam2", etc. and <DIVS> these as ids:
<div id="blam1"
<div id="blam2"
<div id="blam3"
etc.
<layer name="blam1"
<layer name="blam2"
<layer name="blam3"
etc.
QUESTION 1
In the <AREA> element, is it correct in Mozilla to do
onMouseOver="blam1.onmouseover()" ?
How is Mozilla going to resolve |blam1| as a name?
If you replace this code with:
onMouseOver="alert(typeof blam1);"
in Mozilla, you get "undefined". In NN4.7 you get "object".
QUESTION 2
In Mozilla, is the mouseover property of a DOM element accessible
and callable, as it is in NN4.7?
These are DOM questions, not JS Engine. Reassigning to DOM Level 0 -

Answer to the first question: that won't work, you can't reference a div with id
"foo" using document.foo or window.foo. NS4 allows the former (with layers) and
I think IE allows it as well (with divs), though I'm not sure. In Mozilla it
won't work.
Second question: I don't know, but I've never seen any such thing before. I'll
be glad to know the answer as well :)

Fabian is correct about question one, that just won't work in mozilla, use
document.getElementById('foo') in stead of document.foo.
As for question 2, yes, element.onmouseover is both settable, and gettable, and
thus callable. Try this:
<html>
<body>
<p onclick="document.getElementsByTagName('p')[1].onmouseover();">foo</p>
<p onmouseover="alert('onmouseover');">bar</p>
</body>
</html>
Marking INVALID.
