So you want a mouseover event to get rid of whats currently rendered up top
and replace it with something else, and you'd like the table cell to be the
mousover event.

So we're loking for the <td> object to have a mouseover event.

This is a dhtml kind of thing in terms of how the reference material we'll
need to check out is structured. Javascript manuals tend to have what was a
few years back and the new full on access to attributes and so on is tagged
dhtml in references.

vw.asp will give you a look at the MSIE side of things, and clicking TD and
choosing Events in there pull down menu does show access to a onmouseover
event. And at the bottom of that document if I rollover TD it shows me that
onmouseover first appeared in all the platforms V4 IE. This is good!!

That's a bit of input for you and a bit of a start anyway :)
