onMouseOver to change cell color

[haynbrian]

Hello all,

I'm interested in making my links so that when I mouseOver the link, the entire cell background color will change. I've set the 'background-color' attribute in CSS but that doesn't light up the entire cell like I would like it to, and I'm wondering if I can do it with JavaScript.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian

Try this:

<td onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ced6de';" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='white';">testing</td>

Pyro,

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. I got it to work, thanks!

Even though your question was already answered, if you want to create a more complex script for this, you might want to take a look at my tutorial (http://jona.t35.com/experiments/tableChildNodes_tutorial.html), which explains a lot of this in-depth.
