I'm trying to have a simple html table, that highlights a row as a user mouses over it. Unfortunately the css hover item doesn't work for IE. That leaves me to simulate it in Javascript. I can use either onmouseenter or onmouseover.
What is the difference between them, and which one should I use?

This means that mouseleave is fired when the pointer has exited the element and all of its descendants, whereas mouseout is fired when the pointer leaves the element or leaves one of the element's descendants (even if the pointer is still within the element).
The onmouseover attribute fires when the mouse pointer moves over an element. Tip: The onmouseover attribute is often used together with the onmouseout attribute.
onmouseout – The opposite of onmouseover this event fires when the user moves off of an element. This is most commonly used to reset or end an action started in the onmouseover event.
The onmouseover event occurs when the mouse pointer is moved onto an element or one of its child elements. The onmouseenter event occurs when the mouse pointer is entered onto an element. The main difference between the onmouseover event and onmouseenter event as follows
Definition and Usage The onmouseenter event occurs when the mouse pointer is moved onto an element. Tip: This event is often used together with the onmouseleave event, which occurs when the mouse pointer is moved out of an element. Tip: The onmouseenter event is similar to the onmouseover event.
Basicly the OnPointer methods are for use with the UI elements. The OnMouse methods are to use with Colliders and GUI's. This means, if you use OnPointer on Colliders it won't work. And if you use OnMouse on UI elements it won't work. I'm new to Unity, But as far as I've test, OnPointerEnter can do what the OnMouseEnter does.
In short, you'll notice that a mouse over event occurs on an element when you are over it - coming from either its child OR parent element, but a mouse enter event only occurs when the mouse moves from outside this element to this element. [ .mouseover ()] can cause many headaches due to event bubbling.
Both onmouseenter and onmouseover fire when the mouse enters the boundary of an element. However, onmouseenter doesn't fire again (does not bubble) if the mouse enters a child element within this first element.

Unlike the onmouseover event, the onmouseenter event does not bubble. In other words, the onmouseenter event does not fire when the user moves the mouse pointer over elements contained by the object, whereas onmouseover does fire.
I always use onmouseover. I use onmouseover in the same purpose (highlights a row).
