Detect onmouseout in Google Gadget without event attribute in HTML

I need a JavaScript method to detect when the mouse leaves an element with id="myDiv" within an if() statement.

I cannot use the JS onmouseout event embedded in my HTML. I must be able to detect onmouseout inside an if() statement if at all possible.

Here is the basic syntax I was thinking of, but it doesn't make sense as is (and hasn't been working):

if(document.getElementById("myDiv").onmouseout) // if mouse leaves <div id="myDiv">
{
  //code to be executed
}

I prefer legit "Google Gadget JavaScript", which may be slightly different, but if you know of a JavaScript solution, you're welcome to share it!

Solution

  • It should be used like this:

    document.getElementById("myDiv").onmouseout = function(){
    //code to be executed
}
