I have a table in which I want to use the onmouseout event. This would be
fine, except when moving from the padding to the cells, the event is fired
as well. Is there any way to avoid this problem? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

IE has onmouseleave

which might be more what you want.

Methinks the padding is part of <td>, the cell if you like,
perhaps you mean the text and the non text part?

Try filling the cell with a <div> and using the div's mouse events.

First, both the table and cell have padding (it might be set to 0 in some
cases, but it's still there). But regardless of what is in the cells, the
onmouseout event will be triggered when the cursor moves from the main table
area into one of the cells. Maybe I am misunderstanding your suggestion.

if it is set ot 0, it is not "there".

That depends on where you set the eventlistener.

Not at all, I do not understand the OQ, it seems.

Why not show some example code?
