Answer 1

myDiv.addEventListener('mouseout', doSomethingElse ) // remove () , spell check lightgreen

Answer 2

Jayakrishna 🇮🇳 The way OP code setting onmouseover event listening parameters is right, but your have given a wrong answer.

However BaaziM Ali you have the wrong way to set onmouseout, addEventListener parameter is a callback function pointer.

doSomething() means immediately execute the function, which should not set as addEventListenr function parameter.

so the correct way is
myDiv.addEventListener('mouseover', doSomething);
myDiv.addEventListener('mouseout', doSomethingElse);
