I understand that when applying html text to a textfield you can have an anchor tag call a specific function. My question, however, is if you can call a function on rollover of the anchor tag?

Example:

Instead of this…  
\<a href=‘asfunction:\_root.test’\>Click here to call the test function\</a\>

I’d like this…  
\<a href=’’ onMouseOver=‘asfunction:\_root.test’\>Rollover here to call the test function\</a\>

Thanks in advance!
