It is frustrating to read the same question again and again, so close
together in time. I apologize if I offended anyone with my rant. I often
shoot private emails to members to answer these recurring questions (without
a rant) as I try to be helpful to members of a list who are so often VERY
helpful to me. I guess I just got up on the wrong side of the computer this
morning.

As far as solutions to the hover problem in Netscape, the only ones I've
seen are complex and buggy uses of layers and javascript. Yuck. Better to
just give up on hover in Netscape 4.x and below, in my opinion.

I actually posted the first message I believe and to
be fair noone's really given a decent answer yet to it
- saying no it doesn't work isn't very helpful - might
I suggest constructive answers?
<soapbox>
Personally I read all the posts and wasn't offended by
another similar question -  I just saw it as evidence
of a common need. I find your post more offensive to
be honest as it serves no other purpose than to
dissuade someone stuck on a problem from asking HWG
members for help. Yeah sure read the posts - but often
people reply only to the person posting and not to the
board, so i personally don't mind if I get an extra
email on a question that's just been answered.

besides I think you probably can get round it anyway
by making a containing table cell the link, rather
than the text, and applying a style to the text which
can be altered dynamically.
(eg mouseover the table cell and change the text
decoration and colour of the text)

rant over ;)  - I just know how frustrating it gets
when you're stuck on something seemingly simple!
