title: Mouseover on SVG circles
body: <p>I'm very new to SVG, so please forgive me if this is a basic question.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to draw circles on the screen and respond whenever the user mouses over each circle.</p>
  
  <p>From what I can tell, when listening to mouse events on an svg, we are actually listening to mouse events on the whole canvas and not on the shapes.</p>
  
  <p>If I want to handle events on the shapes, I have to use a library like D3.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to listen to mouseOver event that are triggered when the mouse pointer passes over a specific circle?</p>
