What mouse event?

Question

I noticed that if I click on the button, move the pointer out of the button area, and then return to it without releasing the button, it still remembers that I have a button with the button pressed.

I'm trying to set the button style accordingly, can someone enlighten me as the right JavaScript / jQuery event to use for this?

I would really like to use some kind of counter for this.

EDIT: current hacker solution OK;

Globally called hotbutton

   $('.thisbutton').onmouseenter{if (hotbutton='thisbutton'){drawmousedowntheme();}} 

   $('.thisbutton').onmousedown{hotbutton='thisbutton';drawmousedowntheme();}

$(document).onmouseup{hotbutton=''}

Answer 1

What am I doing:

• Add a style ("hot") in the mouseover handler;
• ( "" ) mousedown;
• "" mouseup;
• "" "" .

, "click".

Answer 2

mousedown :

$("#button_id").mousedown(function(){
    $(this).css('color', '#00ff00');
});

Answer 3

Why use jQuery? Set it to CSS and the browser will do it for you (right?).
