The pointerleave event is fired when a pointing device is moved out of the hit test boundaries of an element. For pen devices, this event is fired when the stylus leaves the hover range detectable by the digitizer.

Event properties
This interface inherits properties from MouseEvent and Event.
PointerEvent.pointerIdRead only-
A unique identifier for the pointer causing the event.
PointerEvent.widthRead only-
The width (magnitude on the X axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.heightRead only-
The height (magnitude on the Y axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.pressureRead only-
The normalized pressure of the pointer input in the range
0to1, where0and1represent the minimum and maximum pressure the hardware is capable of detecting, respectively. PointerEvent.tangentialPressureRead only-
The normalized tangential pressure of the pointer input (also known as barrel pressure or cylinder stress) in the range
-1to1, where0is the neutral position of the control. PointerEvent.tiltXRead only-
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of
-90to90) between the Y–Z plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g. pen stylus) axis and the Y axis. PointerEvent.tiltYRead only-
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of
-90to90) between the X–Z plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g. pen stylus) axis and the X axis. PointerEvent.twistRead only-
The clockwise rotation of the pointer (e.g. pen stylus) around its major axis in degrees, with a value in the range
0to359. PointerEvent.pointerTypeRead only-
Indicates the device type that caused the event (mouse, pen, touch, etc.).
PointerEvent.isPrimaryRead only-
Indicates if the pointer represents the primary pointer of this pointer type.
Examples
Using addEventListener():
js
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.addEventListener("pointerleave", (event) => {
console.log("Pointer left element");
});
Using the onpointerleave event handler property:
js
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.onpointerleave = (event) => {
console.log("Pointer left element");
};
