The onmousemove core attribute is an event handler that is associated with moving
the mouse around while inside a selected HTML tag (element).
In other words, the mouse move event occurred while the HTML element was in focus.
Every time you move the mouse around the element, the script code of the onmousedown is executed.
This script can also call functions or subroutines which contain code that you want
to run when this event occurs.
The four other similar core attributes are: onmousedown, onmouseout, onmouseover, and
onmouseup.
In this example, simply move the mouse inside on the button element.
Code:
<input type="button" onmousemove="JavaScript: alert( 'onmousemove event' )"
value="Move The Mouse Inside This Button!">
