Modifying an event

[Wojtek]

I have the following:

<tr onMouseOver="alert('Over a row')">

and I want to modify the event to be:

<tr onMouseOver="alert('Over THIS row')">

in other words reaching into the event, and changing some part of it.

I have tried walking through the attributes of the <tr> until I reach
the onclick, then changing its value, but that throws an error.

I don't really understand why you would want to change the event. In
anycase, this code may or may not help you learn something:

onmouseover="showRow( event, this )"

function showRow( ev, row ) {
var target = ev.target;
var isRowTarget = ( row == target );
alert( "row == target: " + isRowTarget )
}
