Rails - Jun 2006 - Invoking MouseOver using link_to tag ?

Hi,

How can we trigger a JavaScript built in function from a <%= link_to %>
ie. i have the below statement in my view. I want to invoke a JavaScript 
function on "MouseOver" of this below text
(''TestingMouseOverEvents'').

<%= link_to "TestingMouseOverEvents" , :controller =>
"login", :action
=> "logout"%>


Note: The controller and action should also be there as above. ie invoke 
the controller function on click of the link and invoke a local JS 
function  on MouseOver of the text ?


On a normal href we do something like this rt? for invoking the 
onMouseover and onMouseout?. But i want to do the same thing but with 
<%= link_to %> as above ?

<a href="http://www.mywebsite.com"
onMouseover="myInJsFunction()"
onMouseout="myOutJSFunction()">TestingMouseOverEvents</a><br
/>

Thank You
Dinesh

Add to Html options, like:

<%= link_to "TestingMouseOverEvents" , {:controller =>
"login", :action
=> "logout"}, {"onmouseover" => "jscode",
"onmouseout" => "jscode"}%>

I guess we can do it as below...


<%= link_to "Test" ,  "http://www.google.com" , 
:onMouseover =>
"alert(''hello'')" , :controller =>
"login", :action => "logout"%>

Thanks,

Having some difficulty doing this, I want to run a .rjs template on the 
mouseover event to show a hidden div, (and another on the mouse off to 
hide it) tho ''cause I have a block in to hide visible menus when one is
removed I don''t think I can put my stcript in the link.

Basically I can''t find a way to reference the RJS template as part of 
the mouseover event.

Or better yet, don''t.  Use an external
JS file and set the handlers there.  JavaScript works best when it''s 
kept completely separate from HTML.

Best,
