Open in new window.
I'm trying to implement this, any help woul be much appriciated :). It will fire even when mouse pointer leaves the window and your scripts tracking the mouse won't go blind and glitchy when mouse pointer moves outside document's viewport.
mouseout is also delivered to an element if the cursor enters a child element, because the child element obscures the visible area of the element.

Mouse: Only detect out of document mouseups after a mousemove, // drag element breaks in IE8 when its content is replaced onmousedown, "Stray mousemove after mousedown still drags", // In IE8, when content is placed under the mouse (e.g. Any idea why? Instead you should only listen to mouseup on window: The same applies to mousemove event. i don t get what you are trying to say...
