( = %28) = %29But it shouldn't work in javascript.

I was thinking something towards this maybe...

<div onmouseover='eval;{alertx"blah"x;replace.source(/x/g.String.fromCharCode(40,41))}'>blah</div>

Any ideas? I am having troubles writing it right.

So can anyone please help out?

<div onmouseover='eval;alert (x+"blah"+x);replace.source(/x/g.String.fromCharCode(40,41))'>blah</div>What do you want to do with the div? I don't understand, as you're using variables inside an event, which wont work. If you can explain it, i'll try to make a better code.
