Element: pointerout event
{{APIRef("Pointer Events")}}
The pointerout event is fired for several reasons including: pointing device is moved out of the hit test boundaries of an element; firing the {{domxref("Element/pointerup_event", "pointerup")}} event for a device that does not support hover (see {{domxref("Element/pointerup_event", "pointerup")}}); after firing the {{domxref("Element/pointercancel_event", "pointercancel")}} event (see {{domxref("Element/pointercancel_event", "pointercancel")}}); when a pen stylus leaves the hover range detectable by the digitizer.
pointerout events have the same problems as {{domxref("Element/mouseout_event", "mouseout")}}. If the target element has child elements, pointerout and pointerover events fire as the pointer moves over the boundaries of these elements too, not just the target element itself. Usually, {{domxref("Element/pointerenter_event", "pointerenter")}} and {{domxref("Element/pointerleave_event", "pointerleave")}} events' behavior is more sensible, because they are not affected by moving into child elements.
Syntax
Use the event name in {{domxref("EventTarget/addEventListener", "addEventListener()")}}:
addEventListener("pointerout", (event) => { })
Alternatively, assign to the event handler property of the interface:
onpointerout = (event) => { }
Event type
A {{domxref("PointerEvent")}}. Inherits from {{domxref("Event")}}.

Examples
Using addEventListener():
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.addEventListener("pointerout", (event) => {
console.log("Pointer moved out");
});
Using the onpointerout event handler property (but note that this replaces other event listeners added using onpointerout, if any):
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.onpointerout = (event) => {
console.log("Pointer moved out");
};
