Cross-browser "hover" using DOM

As many of you know, the "hover" class available in MSIE is not recognized
by Netscape.

I am in the process of redoing a site that has extensive mouseover effects
using images.  I would like to reduce total load times by changing these
images to text, but only if I can maintain some type of mouseover effect.

Has anyone seen a utilization of the DOM to produce a cross-browser "hover"
effect on link text?

Any other suggestions (no java please)?

TIA...

Warmest regards,
