Element: pointerenter event
The pointerenter
event fires when a pointing device is moved into the hit test boundaries of an element or one of its descendants, including as a result of a pointerdown
event from a device that does not support hover (see pointerdown
).
Syntax

, or set an event handler property.
js
addEventListener("pointerenter", (event) => {});
onpointerenter = (event) => {};

and Event
.
PointerEvent.pointerId
Read only-

PointerEvent.width
Read only-
The width (magnitude on the X axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.height
Read only-
The height (magnitude on the Y axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.pressure
Read only-
The normalized pressure of the pointer input in the range
0
to1
, where0
and1
represent the minimum and maximum pressure the hardware is capable of detecting, respectively. PointerEvent.tangentialPressure
Read only-
The normalized tangential pressure of the pointer input (also known as barrel pressure or cylinder stress) in the range
-1
to1
, where0
is the neutral position of the control. PointerEvent.tiltX
Read only-
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of
-90
to90
) between the Y–Z plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g. pen stylus) axis and the Y axis. PointerEvent.tiltY
Read only-
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of
-90
to90
) between the X–Z plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g. pen stylus) axis and the X axis. PointerEvent.twist
Read only-
The clockwise rotation of the pointer (e.g. pen stylus) around its major axis in degrees, with a value in the range
0
to359
. PointerEvent.pointerType
Read only-
Indicates the device type that caused the event (mouse, pen, touch, etc.).

Examples
Using addEventListener()
:
js
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.addEventListener("pointerenter", (event) => {
console.log("Pointer entered element");
});
Using the onpointerenter
event handler property:
js
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.onpointerenter = (event) => {
console.log("Pointer entered element");
};
