getElementById javascript help needed

**paldo** · 11-19-2012 02:37 AM

I'm looking for a Javascript that makes the following: I have a list of questions with three answers each. I would like to have the following behaviour: on rollover the correct answer should change to green color. Somebody can gives me a good hint?

Example:

Question 1: how much is 2+3?
a) the correct answer is 6
b) the correct answer is 5 On rollover over the question "b) the correct answer is 5" should change to green
c) the correct answer is 4

Thank you

Hi there paldo,

there is no need to use javascript.

Try it like this...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="language" content="english"> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">

<title></title>

<style type="text/css">
.correct:hover { 
    color:#008000;
    cursor:pointer;
 }
</style>

</head>
<body>

<h4>Question 1: how much is 2+3?</h4>

<p>a) the correct answer is 6</p>
<p class="correct">b) the correct answer is 5</p>
<p>c) the correct answer is 4</p>

</body>
</html>

Dear Coothead, simple as that ? Thank you so much, it is less complicated that javascript.

But is it possible with CSS to hover with the pointer over the question and get the answer in green?
