Onmouseover image border changing

[bagzy]

Hi,
I was wonddering if it was possible to change the background colour of a link image using the onmouseover event, and if so, how?

If it truly is a link, then you could easily use CSS.
a:hover img {background-color: whatever}
If you want to use JS:
<a href="whatever" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='red'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=''"><img src="lilguy2.gif"></a>
It actually changes the background color of the anchor, but it is easier to do it this way, thanks to the "this" operator.

OK thanks.
I will probably go with the JavaScript option, as i'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to CSS :P
