Andrew has a script that shows how to do it with custom events:
http://github.com/savetheclocktower/javascript-stuff/tree/master/custom-events/mouse_enter_leave.js
It's not as convenient as real mouseenter/mouseleave behaviour,
because these event will bubble. Child elements will fire mouse:enter/
mouse:leave events onto their parent. You'd have to filter out these
unwanted event before this will work.
I'd prefer something similar as the patch Ken posted implemented into
core. It doesn't have the overhead and is much more convenient since
it allows you to do this:
$(element).observe('mouseleave', handler);
jQuery and Mootools use a similar approach. It's much closer to the
spec, since it doesn't involve event bubbling like the real mouseenter/
mouseleave events.
