'Exception' is not counting the no. of times the mouse hover on the text.

<html>
Whenever I hover mouse on the text, it should get counted which is not happening (below is the code):

<head>
<title>Event handling</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1> Event <h1>

/* <p> <a onmouseover = "alert('Pop up window text')"> Text of the webpage </a></p></h1></h1> this line of code was properly runnning whenever I hovered mouse on it, but it was not counting the no. of times I did. So for that I code the line below*/

<p> <a href="http://www.google.com" onmouseover='++count; alert ("Moved")'> jjj</a></p>

</body>
</html>

'Exception' is not counting the no. of times the mouse hover on the text.

Please do guide me. Thanks in advance.

Hi arbab,

are you following the book? Which chapter are you add?

Just looking at your code (pleain javascript, no jquery), it looks like your missing the declaration of the global variable "count".

To have your code work (with plain javascript) you have to add the following to your head section:

Code:

<script language="javascript">
	var count = 0;
</script>

Hope this helps
