[solved] css: highlighting td

[brown monkey]

i use this

td{
	cursor: hand;
	width: 200px;
	vertical-align: top;
}
td:hover{
	background: #666666;
}

in IE, cursor is hand if hovered but the background won't change to #666666. in contrary, Mozilla change the background when hovered but the cursor won't... am i missing something? thanx...

:hover is not supported by IE on anything but links.

hand is not a valid standard value for the cursor property. Rather, it is a proprietary value introduced with IE5 and supported only by IE. pointer is the equivalent standard value, however, it is not supported by IE5.
The solution which is not valid but at least works everywhere (damn MS) is:
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
