Sort of, really just trying to make sure that mouseover events
triggered by child elements are "credited" to the parent. I tried
Tobie's technique, and it works perfectly. My long-hand method worked
fine as well -- no flickering I could discern -- so it's really just a
coding elegance refinement I was going for rather than anything else.
I am using event delegation -- observing the entire table once rather
than each cell -- so maybe that's why I wasn't seeing any flicker.
