A mouseover is a GUI event that occurs when a user hovers their mouse over a particular area of the GUI. Mouseover events are commonly used in web browsers where the URL or hyperlink can be viewed in the status bar when users’ hover over the link on a webpage. Web designers can also create their own mouseover events using JavaScript and/or Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) – An example of a common application of the mouseover event is a tooltip.
