This answer does not address the usability issue of the user EXPECTING the
hover effect to indicate a link.

I tried creating a class:

.test:hover { color:red; }

and then using a span tag with the class=test around a word and it didn't
work.

However, you could always create an anchor class, for example:

a.test:hover { color:red; }

and then put an anchor tag around your text, but point the href at # so the
link doesn't work.

Subject: Changing Text Color with a mouse over without a link


Hey I was wondering if there was any way to change the color of regular (not
linked text) in response to a mouse over.

TIA, to anyone who can answer this question.  (note the change has to be
done with a css style sheet since that is the only access I have to
affecting the text properties at this time.
