Re: css and hovering

Jolene,

Oops, I went in Netscape first so I didn't see it at all. One suggestion 
though, you may want to retain some of the underlining on the links so 
people will know they're clickable. I know one or two seniors that would 
not know to click on those links even if their mouse did accidentally run 
over them.

O.k., next, keep using your CSS.

You have a good start here:
<<<<-- you might want to change this to a:link for better cross-browser 
performance ---->>>>>
a       { text-decoration: none;
           color: #ffccff;
           font-weight: bold;
           font-family: verdana }

a:hover { text-decoration: underline;
           color: #ccffff;
           font-weight: bold }
<--------------possible solutions:

a.one:link    { text-decoration: none;
           color: #000000 }
a.one:hover { color : purple }

a.one:visited { color : purple }

Then, the a:link and a:hover would be your bold lavendar verdana and the 
links at the bottom would be black initially and purple on hover in IE and 
purple when visited.

And, again, would really re-consider pulling the text-decoration from 
unvisited links. It is a relatively common technique for people to 
recognize links.

Other than that, I really like the color scheme although it looks like you 
have some cell alignment issues yet (BTW NN also doesn't do background 
colors well on table cells).

HTH,
