Hi everyone,

I'd like to create a popout box for a list of products in my table. For
example, when the user's mouse hovers over a cell, the popout box with more
info will display, and the popout box will disappear when the mouse is not
hovering on the cell. The Netflix website is a great example of this, among
others.

I think I know how to do this using the "a:hover" attribute in CSS (similar
to a dropdown menu). But it's also possible to do the exact same thing with
Javascript. This might be a dated question, but what are the pros and cons
between CSS hover and Javascript OnMouseOver? Personally, if I can do
something using CSS, I'd like to, but using Javascript seems rather popular
for these popouts, and I'm wondering if there are notable differences is in
terms of efficiency, or speed, if any.

Thanks!
Nazish
