Jayakrishna 🇮🇳 The way OP code setting onmouseover event listening parameters is right, but your have given a wrong answer. However BaaziM Ali you have the wrong way to set onmouseout, addEventListener parameter is a callback function pointer. doSomething() means immediately execute the function, which should not set as addEventListenr function parameter. so the correct way is myDiv.addEventListener('mouseover', doSomething); myDiv.addEventListener('mouseout', doSomethingElse);
