The onmouseover/onmouseout javascript events would translate to the touchenter/touchleave touch events, the problem is these events are just starting to being implemented in browsers (they are part of a W3C draft), currently only firefox support it, so if you are using webkit you'll have to wait for it, or implement your onmouseover feature using touchmove event and looking at the coordinates and to see if they overlap with the coordinates of your html element.
