Simple Event Example

Please mouse over me!

This is a simple example of a Event. The event is onMouseOver, attached to the paragraph P tag. When user moves the mouse over the paragraph, the Browser detects it and fires the event, then calls the JavaScript function (the event handler) attached with that event. See html source for the code.
