<h1>Mouseenter/Mouseleave</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
This demo shows how to use the custom mouseenter and mouseleave events. Just hover
the grey box below.
</p>
<div id="myElement">
</div>
<div class="help floated">
<strong>Why?</strong> MooTools features mouseenter and mouseleave because mouseover/mouseout sometimes
just does not work as expected. Mouseenter only fires once you enter the element and
does not fire again if your mouse crosses over children of the element.

<h2>Menu Example</h2>
<p>
This example explains how to open a menu-like element on mouseenter and
how it closes again on mouseleave.
</p>
<div id="myOtherElement">
<span><strong>Menu</strong></span>
<div>
<a href="#">Menuelement 1</a>
<a href="#">Menuelement 2</a>
<a href="#">Menuelement 3</a>
</div>
</div>
