Javascript – showing floating div in a gridview

gridviewhtmljavascript

I have a gridview and when i mouse hover on a particular column, i am loading an external div(position:absolute) into that position.This i have done by calling a js function in the onmouseover event of the gridview cell(gvTestGrid.cells[1].attributes.add("onmouseover","loadDIV();")).
I am able to load the div properly on mouse hover, but the problem is my loaded div contains a dropdown and button inside it. when i try to move my mouse inside the div to click the button or select the dropdown list, the div moves away.This happens after i added
onmouseout event(gvTestGrid.cells[1].attributes.add("onmouseout","removeDIV();"))

without onmouse out event my div will remain loaded there on the gridview cell.Please help

i have done a small sample

<html>
  <div id="divPopup" onmouseout="removeDIV(this,event);" style="display:none;width:100px;height:100px;color:Navy;border:2px;border-color:Red;border-style:solid;">
    Yes its me
    </div>

    <table>
    <tr><td>A</td></tr>
    <tr><td>S</td></tr>
    <tr><td onmouseover="loadDIV(event)" onmouseout="removeDIV(this,event);">D</td></tr>
    <tr><td>E</td></tr>
    </table>

</html>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function loadDIV(evt)
{
var myWin = document.getElementById('divPopup');
myWin.style.position='absolute';
myWin.style.left = evt.x;
myWin.style.top = evt.y;
myWin.style.display='block';

}

function removeDIV(obj,evt)
{
var myWin = document.getElementById('divPopup');
myWin.style.display='none';
myWin.style.left = 0;
myWin.style.top = 0;
}
</script>

if you try to enter mouse into the div it will move away.Any solution for this please??

How about removing the div after you are done with the work in the DIV you have popped up? So you would close the DIV when you click the button in the DIV (Assuming it does work and should close afterward) or in a similar manner.
