Combining Raphael and jQuery to achieve browser compatibility

Question

Having discovered that IE does not handle javascript onmouseout, I\'m determined to use jQuery instead so the cross-browser compatibility would be taken care of

Answer 1

This is a bit of javascript trickery, st is passed in. Look at the JS code in the australia example.

(function (st, state) {
                    .. some code referring to st[0] in here .. 
                })(aus[state], state);

So st[0] in this code refers to the path DOM node from aus[state].

Try it yourself with this simple example in a Firebug console:

(function(a,b) {alert(a); })("hello", "b");
