However, I do not have the situation with the single button to show additional details: the icon in the last column for each record will trigger the popup. The same risk exists, that if you move the mouse over all these icons, the mouse over event fires even if you do not feel like it. And if your mouse continues to hover over an element, it may easily refire the event. So yes, caution is advised, and to be honest: I have used the onclick after the onmouseover gave me some headaches myself.

However, I have one question… I’m always troubled by the "mouseover" event because it can have some unpleasant effects. For instance imagine this situation: "your page is exactly the same as described in this post, meaning that the mouseover will set the currentrecord. Besides this you have ONE button to display additional information about the current record. This button is located above the table." In order to click the button you have to move your mouse to this button. If you go straight up to the button, a mouseover event will be triggered on every row that you pass during the way up…… meaning that you will get the additional information of the FIRST record. As far as i know, the only way to circomvent this behaviour is to navigate to the button using keys or to move your mouse outside the table and go up to the button. I prefer to use the onclick event which will set the current record. The user is in full control and not bothered by the unpleasant effects of the mouseover. Please correct me if I’m wrong, and please suggest any solutions… Thank for the post, which is (again) very usable. Luc Bors
