If I remember correctly, mouseenter and mouseleave are specific to IE, not standard events. Maybe they were extended, but don't think they became a standard. So the event itself may generate you some problems.

To resolve this you can use a lib (like jQuery for example), that treats the browser differences (or you can check the code there and take what you need).

Second way... try mouseover... it worked better (again... didn't work with them for a while so things may have happened, but this is how I remember them to be).
