77622 - onmouse[out|over] events don't work with TRs when page was created with document.write

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Anthony Evans]

When you use document.write() to create a page in another frame, that page 
contains a table, a row in that table has a mouseover/mouseout event assigned, 
and that event uses this.className to change its parent row's style, behavior 
isn't what you would expect.  

In some cases (like the attached test case), there is a flicker when you move 
your mouse over the row, but the row's attributes do not visibly change.  In 
other cases (which I haven't taken the time to reproduce), the row display 
attributes don't physically change at all.

Other attributes of the class are applied properly (like changing the mouse 
pointer).

The problem doesn't occur with other tags, like <TABLE>, <TD> or <SPAN>, merely 
with the <TR> tag.  I've worked around it by embedding a table in each of my 
rows and dealing with TDs of the outer table and the TABLE tag of the inner 
table.  Very ugly, but it works.  I've have not attached my work-around.

Well, I tested your testcase in Win98 / 2001051704, and I see the problem too.  
I would confirm it if I had access to do that.  ;)
