CSS question

[nabeels786]

hi,


ok, heres my question.

i have an "OnMouseOver" and an "OnMouseOut", and for each mouseover and mouse out, its the same sequece(change color)

can i assign it to a "function", so that itll change the color, instead of having to put the code in each section?

thanks

If you are only coding for IE you can use this:

<style>

a:hover { color:green; font-weight:bold; }

</style>

Again, this will only work for IE. The above style will work for all links on the page.

Yeah, you can.

<script>
function changecolor(id, color)
{
    id.style.color = color;
}
</script>
...
<span onMouseOver="changecolor(this,'red')" onMouseOut="changecolor(this,'black')">
turns red on mouseover, black on mouseout
</span>

I'm afriad you can't. 'Least I'm not finding anything in the CSS specs at W3C. I would like to do the same thing. It makes sense to me.

well, right now im using:

<td height="29" onMouseOver="style.backgroundColor='#CCCC99'; borderColor='#000000';" onMouseOut="style.backgroundColor='#F0F0E1'; borderColor='#F0F0E1';">

and its for only a few cells, like ones in which the subject is. instead of copy and pasting that whole bit, i wanna just have it link. well if you cant do it that way then

You can make functions, like Wynd suggested, you just can't put this in CSS.
