How it works

The mouseover event tracks when visitors hover their mouse cursor over a specified element. When a visitor performs the action, the tracking call is triggered.

For more information about how to add an event listener, see Manage events.

Event triggers

Event triggers are the specific actions the event listener tracks.

This event can track the following event triggers:

• Mouseover – Trigger when the visitor hovered the cursor over the specified element for a minimum amount of time.

You can set the following threshold for the trigger:

• Duration of Hover - The amount of time in milliseconds to hover over the element to trigger the event.

Element selector

The element selector specifies which element on a page you want to trigger the event listener. For more information, see Event element selector.

Trigger frequency

The trigger frequency determines how many times the event trigger will result in a tracking call. For more information, see Event triggers.

Event trigger variables

Event trigger variables are the values the event listener sends with the tracking call. The mouseover event event has the following default event trigger variable:

Mouseover

Example

{
   "tealium_event"  : "mouseover",
   "iq_event_id:" : "mouseover_events_1"
