Here is code to change a cell onMouseover. Note, you can move the code to the tag to change whole row. This works in MSIE and Netscape 6. Netscape 4 simply ignores the code without error.

i do have a script at work which is cross browser (down to netscape 4 etc), but I will post that tomorrow

OK I have found the cross browser variant.

There is an external script that goes along with this example, so instead of posting it here, this is what I will do.

If you want to give me a pm or email I will email it to you. until I have finished my site I cant exactly just put it up somewhere for everyone to download.
cheers

but can do the same thing with the text contains within the cell ?

And so my e-mail is [email protected]

netscape 6 now allows hovers over text links. Let me have a look at the code and I will get back to you

function mouseOver(element) {
element.bgColor='#336633';
element.color = '#FFFFFF'; // dont't works !
}
function mouseOut(element) {
if (element.name != "CLICKED") {
element.bgColor='#FFFFFF';
element.color='#000000'; // dont't works !
}
}
function mouseClick(element) {
if (document.CLICKED != null) {
document.CLICKED.name="1";
}
element.name="CLICKED";
window.alert(element.name);
