I need something that makes it so when the mouse goes over the link it highlights the word in the color. Not just change the color of the word but highlight it. Also I want it so the text is not underlined. I have this but it doesn't make it so it is Highlighted.

code:

<style>
<!--
	A:link {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: white}
        	A:visited {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: white}
        		A:hover {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: yellow}
        -->
</style>
[/code]
Any help is appreciated.  Thanks,

Change the background-color property on the hover:

A:hover {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: yellow; background-color:red }

add to the link style definition - where appropriate -

background-color: #rrggbb;

Is that what you meant??

(beaten to the punch by John - but only by seconds)

Caution: Nit-picking ahead!

It's Cascading Style Sheets that make those changes (the hint is the style type="text/css" -- you should always have the type in the style tag, by the way, or it won't work in some cases), Java uses parameters and applets and classes, et cetera to make the changes, JavaScript uses images... Whoosh!

Thanks John. Thanks Andy. Thanks Suzanne. Didn't know it was CSS. I don't know Javascript anyway. I plan on learning it sometime though, when I get the time. Thanks again guys!
