Adding rollovers
The term rollover refers to an interaction between a mouse and a screen object.
For example, you can point your mouse at a graphic on a web page, and see it
instantly change colour or become a different picture. In more detail, when you
point to a web page object, your mouse pointer physically enters the screen
region occupied by the object. This triggers an event called a "mouseover"
which can trigger some other event—such as swapping another image into the
same location. An object whose appearance changes through image-swapping in
response to mouse events is called a rollover graphic—the state of the graphic
changes in response to screen events.
