hover

[domeceo]

I'm new to CSS. I have seen hover used with anchor elements to chang
the text color but can it be used with any other elements? Are ther
any other simple alternate methods of changing text color without th
use of images (like with onMouseover/onMouseout)

Yes, but it doesn't work in IE.

You can access CSS properties via objRef.style.pr opertyName (converting
two-part properties to camelCase), or change the class wtih
objRef.classNam e.

Re: hover

Maybe stick it in a table, and give the table cell an id, and then have
a mouseover on the table cell change the bgcolor. Example follows. Question
to throw out there - is getElementById( ) an IE only thing? I have to admit,
I'm pretty green with the Javascript, and have only had call to write for IE
so far, and so haven't concerned myself too much with cross browser stuff.

<script>

function chBgcolor() {
document.getEle mentById("link1 ").bgColor = "FFFFFF";
return true;
}

</script>
[html]
<tr>
<td id="link1" onmouseover="ch Bgcolor();"><a href="link">lin k
text</a></td>
</tr>

Why does it need to be in a table?

Using .style.backgrou ndColor rather than .bgcolor it will work for any
element.

No. It's part of the W3C DOM and is supported by IE5+, Gecko, Opera
and others. The IE only 'equivalent' is document.all
