RE: CSS - attach cell properties to hover?

Alexander:

That is *very* interesting. I like that it works when I mouseover the cell
and not just the link! I added BGCOLOR to stop it from defaulting to white
when the page first loads. It seems to limit me to one cell? If I add
another cell I get an error message "document.all.tobehovered.style is not
an object". And it degrades OK in Netscape; no conflicts.

<TABLE border="1" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="36">
    <TR>
      <TD ID="tobehovered" onMouseOver="hoverTD('CCCCFF')"
onMouseOut="hoverTD('CCCCCC')" BGCOLOR="CCCCCC"><A
href="test.html">LINK</A></TD>
    </TR>
  </TABLE>
