<p><b>This example uses <i>onMouseOver</i> and <i>onMouseOut</i> <i>event-handlers</i>,
the <i>visibility property</i> of the <i>layers object</i>, and a function &quot;MM_showHideLayers&quot;.
The phrases are stored within layers defined as HTML divisions. The onMouseOver
and onMouseOut event-handlers call a function &quot;MM_showHideLayers&quot;
and pass parameters (information) to it, causing the layers to be displayed
and hidden by changing the <i>value</i> of the visibility property from <i>hidden</i>
to <i>visible</i> and vice versa. The JavaScript event-handlers and functions
were inserted into the HTML file by Dreamweaver.</b></p>
