No. This method won't work in Netscape 4.x. There is no easy way to get 
something like this to work in Netscape 4.x.

The main issue here, as I see it, is using JavaScript to change styles on 
the fly. It's a useful technique to learn. Although any element can have 
the :hover pseudo element applied to it in CSS2, support for it isn't very 
good. (See http://aamcf.co.uk/temp/style_object3 for an example using 
span:hover that doesn't work in Mozilla 0.9.8). This method can also be 
generalized so that, for example, you mouseover one element and another 
changes style, or you wanted styles to change depending on cookies stored 
on the browser.

FWIW, there is a slightly better version of my solution on 
http://aamcf.co.uk/temp/style_object2 That version changes the color of the 
span from its preset color to white and back to its preset color. My 
previous version changed the color from the preset color to white and then 
to black.
