To make up for my boneheaded first response (who thinks in global 
variables these days?!) I'd like to point out that there might be a 
slight problem in Firefox, depending upon whether your element already 
has an HTML class.  The attached does not work properly in Firefox.  For 
some reason, the node.className += " over" seems to make node.className 
into "over" (without the space.)

This will work, though, regardless of whether you have an existing class 
name:

     element.className = element.className.replace(/\bover\b/, "");

But I prefer to do it like this:

     element.className = element.className.replaceWord("over", "");

using this:

String.prototype.replaceWord = function(original, replacement) {
     regex = new RegExp("\\b" + original + "\\b");
     return this.replace(regex, replacement);
};
