46
# Implementation Basic HTML file structure
``` ```
47
# Implementation ``` ```
Specifies the type of HTML for the browser, starts the document
48
# Implementation ``` ```
Specifies that all code within the tage is HTML

    # Implementation Mouse out events in JS
    Changes an element when the cursor goes off it

    # Implementation JS functions
    ``` function mouseOver() {} ``` | Declare a func with `function`, use () for parameters, code goes in {}
    91
    # Implementation Creating a mouse-over event in JS
    ``` function mouseOver () { document.getElementById("id").style.color = "red" ``` | Must specify the ID in HTML for the code to work, then use CSS after ID ## Footnote You need to apply the JS function in the HTML element, just the function isn't enough
    92
    # Implementation Creating a mouse-out event in JS
    ``` function mouseOut () { document.getElementById("id").style.color = "black" ``` | Must specify the ID in HTML for the code to work, then use CSS after ID ## Footnote You need to apply the JS function in the HTML element, just the function isn't enough
    93
    # Implementation Code within the JS function to specify what to do in the event of mouse-over/mouse-out
    ``` document.getElementById("id").style.color = "red" ``` | The ID is the HTML ID
    94
    # Implementation Applying JS functions to CSS elements
    ```

    ``` | onmouseover specifies func to use in a mouseOver event, like a mouseOut
    95
    # Testing Factors to take into account when testing a website
    user interfance, links and navigation, media, consistency
    96
    # Testing How to test user-interface
