It doesn't get any simpler than that. That's the most basic way to have a different color when hover. Sorry man, it's a situation where people say "Take it or leave it" ------------------

Yeah...what can I say? Thats as simple as it gets, really. You can basically just copy and paste that code from the tutorial into your header, change the color vakues, and everything will be right on. ------------------ a nothing thing

That does work... and you can experiment with the colors as well. I paste it into our "headerinsert" box about 1/3 the way down in general settings.. it places the code between the tags... ------------------ Allen - http://www.stand318.com

Thats all right. If you want to learn more about HTML and CSS, try going to webmonkey.com and reading their tutorials. Or, buy a book on the subject. I reccommend HTML 4.0: for the world wide web by Elizabeth Castro (a Quickstart Guide, Peachpit Press). Thats a good book from a good line of books...If not that, a book on XHTML would put you even farther ahead. ------------------ a nothing thing

I put the code between the tags on one of my pages and it didn't do anything. What am I doing wrong, and also where can i get a list of colors in that hexidecimal code?

which code did you add? Are you using a new browser, or some 3.0 clunker, or webtv, etc? Hexidecimal codes can also be found at webmonkey.com ------------------ a nothing thing

I'm using IE 5.5 latest version with service pack.
I can see the white mouseovers just fine here at UBBDEV.

It's as simple as that. The comment tags you're using are the wrong ones. Comment tags for styles aren't really necessary anyway, unless you want backwards compatibity with version 2 and 3 browsers. I should note that the comment tags you are using are basically telling the browser to interpret the following: ------------------ a nothing thing

commenting out things eliminates them from being parsed. i wouldn't comment out things that you want to be included, if i were you... in HTML, this: has the same effect as this: # in Perl. ------------------ parallel parking job------------------

well, sorry. It works. I use it on everything I do, I've never had a problem. Countless other people use the exact same syntax and it works fine. ------------------ a nothing thing

This is what we put it our header insert box: odd, it works in IE and NS6, do a "view source" and check it... ------------------ Allen - http://www.stand318.com

you are right if you are using an *old* browser it hides the code only from old browsers or from the browsers that does not support it...

I can't believe this thread is still going... NBAustin, the older browsers will not show the mouseovers. For a list of what will and will not work check here : http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/stylesheet_guide/ The results you are reporting are the correct ones like it or not. You may want to make multiple styles sheets and load them (with javascript) based on the browser if that fact that they do not mouseover in the old browsers are unacceptable.
