cell formatting
Hi,

Really new to this css stuff and i'm sure i'll get a beratting for asking such a simple question but here goes...

What i need is a cell with a linked word in it. Initial state is white background with blue text. On rollover i would like the whole cell to turn blue with white text.

I'm sure this is simple but just need a point in the right direction.

Thanks for any help

Tom

It's a good question actually, no beratting here ,

You can use the 'hover' psuedoclass on almost any tag including table, td, and tr.

CSS
PHP Code:
 td:hover{background-color:#0000FF;}
td:hover a{background-color:#0000FF; color:#FFFFFF;}
td a:hover{color:#FFFFFF}
td a{color:#0000FF} 

#FFFFFF; = white
#0000FF; = blue

EDIT: Actually, that only works in Firefox. It's fairly borked in IE. The only suggestion that I have for you would be to use javascript, which I know can do it, I just don't know how.

While this is really a solution for the javascript board...
PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>

  <title>CSS Background Color-Changer</title>

  <!-- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="all" /> -->

  <style type="text/css">
  span{
    border: 1px blue solid;
    padding: 5px;
    margin: 0px;
    margin-top: 5px;
    width: 200px;
    display: block;
  }
  div{
    border: 1px #AAAAAA solid;
    display: block;
  }
  .hover1{
    background: red;
  }
  .hover2{
    background: green;
  }
  .hover3{
    background: blue;
  }
  .hover4{
    background: white;
  }
  .hover5{
    background: cyan;
  }
  .hover6{
    background: magenta;
  }
  .hover7{
    background: yellow;
  }
  .hover8{
    background: black;
  }
  </style>

</head>

<body>

<center>
<div id="mydiv" class="hover1" style="height: 200px; width: 200px;"></div><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover1';">red</span><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover2';">green</span><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover3';">blue</span><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover4';">white</span><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover5';">cyan</span><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover6';">magenta</span><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover7';">yellow</span><br />
<span onmouseover="document.getElementById('mydiv').className='hover8';">black</span><br />
</center>

</body>

</html> 


You can also use the "this" object:
PHP Code:
<td class="hover1" onmouseover="this.className='hover2';" onmouseout="this.className='hover1';">content</td> 

Though I've had some trouble with the "this" method of doing it.

Hope this helps!
