Question Why is this not working?
Why does this css style work only in firefox and not IE :

Code:
.showhide {font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12px;color: #EA6D67;cursor: pointer; onMouseOver:text-decoration: underline;}

Everything in the style works apart from the last section: {onMouseOver:text-decoration: underline;}

Any ideas? Cheers

I'm surprised that works on any browser. It's certainly not a syntax or css attribute I'm familiar with.

cheers,

Actually, your right. It doesn't work on either. Don't know what the heck I was thinking about... but you see what I'm trying to do right, any idea on how to do it?

The css you're looking for is the :hover pseudo-class. Unfortunately, IE being the obsolete, buggy browser that it is, only understands this when applied to the a(nchor) element.
Code:
a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
    }

.showhide a:hover {
    font-weight: bold;
    }

cheers,

gary

just fyi:

onMouseOver is an attribute to call javascript functions, and can not be used inside a style sheet.

common use would be
<a href="http://blah" onMouseOver="alert('blah!')">blah</a>
