Sorry if the title makes no sense but I am not sure how to put this in few words.

Basically what I am trying to find out is the HTML code to allow the background COLOUR of a box change (or highlight) when the mouse is moved over it. Similar to what happens on some forums when you hover over a category.

JKHTML links will usually change colour/style when you hover over them.  Here are a couple of useful links/tutorials concerning using CSS to do this: >1< >2<.

Note that the CSS :hover psuedoclass is not SUPPORTED by all browsers for all elements.  Styling hyperlinks usually works, but styling other HTML elements may not.

The other way would be using JAVASCRIPT and the "onMouseOver"/"onMouseOut" events.  A bit more complicated than the CSS method, but that's how it used to be done before CSS really took off, and is still often used for rollover image effects (buttons that change when you hover over them, etc).Thanks, I am using frontpage for the most part and I am not sure I can use CSS in the HTML coding.You should be able to...  But in any case if you HANG around here long enough you'll quickly pick up how much I hate FrontPage.    I recommend the free program NVu, which you'll find if you follow the link in my signature to the software FAQ.Why is this post a sticky?
