When hovering over the arrow-icon of the button, for one moment, the text on the right side appears and the arrow-icon changes back to the chevron-icon. It seems like the "mouseout" event fires, even though I’m still hovering over the button. How do I prevent this?
const inviteButton = document.querySelector("#invite-btn button");
const inviteSpanOut = document.getElementById("span-out")
//Changes icon to arrow
inviteButton.addEventListener("mouseover", function() {
inviteButton.innerHTML = `
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" fill="white" class="bi bi-arrow-right" viewBox="0 0 16 16">
<path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M1 8a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h11.793l-3.147-3.146a.5.5 0 0 1 .708-.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 1 0 .708l-4 4a.5.5 0 0 1-.708-.708L13.293 8.5H1.5A.5.5 0 0 1 1 8z"/>
</svg>`
inviteSpanOut.style.display = "none";
});
//Changes icon to chevron
inviteButton.addEventListener("mouseout", function() {
inviteButton.innerHTML = `
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" fill="white" class="bi bi-chevron-right" viewBox="0 0 16 16">

</svg>`
inviteSpanOut.style.display = "inline";
});#invite-btn {

#invite-btn button {

Remove pointer events from the SVG and it seems to work well.
Also, anchors and buttons have distinct purposes and should never be combined.
Finally, use classes for CSS to make it reusable. I didn’t fully convert your script for reusability, but it wouldn’t be too difficult.
Easily countered by using
pointer-events: noneon the SVG itself. See updated example below.Good luck!
