If an element has an "onmouseout" attribute, it should also have an "onkeyup" attribute. This helps ensure that users who only have the keyboard can access the features as well.
<a onmouseout="alert('Hello, there');" href="#">Open an alert.</a>
<a onmouseout="alert('Hello, there');" onkeyup="alert('Hello, there');"
href="#">Open an alert.</a>
