<ul id="test">
  <li>item 1</li>
  <li>item 2</li>
  <li>item 3</li>
</ul>

JavaScript

let test = document.getElementById("test");
  
// This handler will be executed only once when the cursor
// moves over the unordered list
test.addEventListener("mouseenter", function( event ) {   
  // highlight the mouseenter target
  event.target.style.color = "purple";

  // reset the color after a short delay
  setTimeout(function() {

// This handler will be executed every time the cursor
// is moved over a different list item
test.addEventListener("mouseover", function( event ) {   
  // highlight the mouseover target
  event.target.style.color = "orange";

  // reset the color after a short delay
