I want to call the function upon the onmouseover="ParentFunction();" then kill it onmouseout="killParent();".

Note: in my code the parent function is called initiate(); and the killer function is called reset(); which lies outside the parent function at the bottom of the script.

I don't know how to kill the intitiate() function my first guess was:

  var reset = function(){
  return initiate(); 
  }; 

here's my source code: any suggestions and help appreciated.

      <!doctype html>
