I haven't tested this but I thought the Javascript you specified in the
string for the event could be like code lines that you write. In other
words, separate the lines with the semicolon character as you would when
writing the Javascript alone. Does the following work?
<a onmouseover="func1();func2()" ...</a>
If I'm wrong and that doesn't work, why not have a wrapper function that
calls the other two.
<a onmouseover="funcmult()"...</a>
where funcmult calls func1 and func2. Another possibility is where you
have the onmouseover function for an element defined separately from it,
as in:
<a ... id="a1">
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('a1').onmouseover = function(){
func1();
func2();
<any other code>
}
</script>
You define separately the function for the onmouseover event for the
element that you specify by its id tag. That is, you tag the element
with an id that can be used later to identify that particular element.
Then you define its onmouseover property with the [wrapper] function
that you want to use.
I'm no Javascript programmer (just have had occasion to get my nose
pushed into it a few times). A better place to ask would be in a
Javascript programming group, like:
comp.lang.javascript
(or any of the *.javascript newsgroups)
