Handling Mouseout Events in Absolute Divs with Child Elements Without jQuery

When dealing with absolutely positioned divs, handling mouseout events can be challenging. By default, if the mouse hovers over a child element within the parent div, the mouseout event fires prematurely before the mouse exits the outer div.

To address this issue, consider utilizing the onmouseleave event listener instead of onmouseout. Unlike onmouseout, onmouseleave only triggers when the mouse exits the element's boundaries, ensuring that nested child elements won't trigger the event.

Alternatively, if you prefer to use jQuery:

$(".outer").mouseleave(function() {
  // Your code here
});

This approach allows you to define the appropriate behavior when the mouse exits the parent div, regardless of whether it interacts with any child elements within.
