Designing with javascript: Creating Dynamic Web Pages, by Nick Heinle. ISBN 1565923006

CLASS="off"
onMouseOver="this.className='on';"
onMouseOut="this.className='off';"

I've never used this myself. I just copied it right out of the book for you. (BTW: It's a good book to have.)

However! It's not cross-browser compatible, it'll only work in Explorer, although it may be implemented in NN 4.6, just released. As a browser and a webmaster, there's nothing I hate more than browser-biased sites...

Oh my God! You're right! I didn't even realise that this was IE-dependent. I feel dirty.

It's ironic, too, because I develop Netscape-only intranet applications. I've just never had to bother with mouseovers or dynamically-assigned CSS classes. I apologise to Earth and all of its inhabitants.

Well, Netscape and Microflot are still going in different directions in some cases, no matter what the W3C have to say. If you want mouseover effects, you're probably better of sticking with images for the mo.
