The MouseEvent.relatedTarget
read-only property is the secondary target for the mouse event, if there is one.
That is:
Event name | target | relatedTarget |
---|---|---|
mouseenter | The EventTarget the pointing device entered to | The EventTarget the pointing device exited from |
mouseleave | The EventTarget the pointing device exited from | The EventTarget the pointing device entered to |
mouseout | The EventTarget the pointing device exited from | The EventTarget the pointing device entered to |
mouseover | The EventTarget the pointing device entered to | The EventTarget the pointing device exited from |
dragenter | The EventTarget the pointing device entered to | The EventTarget the pointing device exited from |
dragleave | The EventTarget the pointing device exited from | The EventTarget the pointing device entered to |
For events with no secondary target, relatedTarget
returns null
.
FocusEvent.relatedTarget
is a similar property for focus events.
