change color of table cell on hover 1

[AlbertAguirre]

how!?!?!? I have spent countless hours on this. Heres my code:
.subNavBox {
BACKGROUND: #555555;
font-weight: bold;
color: #888888;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #000000;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 0px;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
}

.subNavBox:hover {
BACKGROUND: #000000;
COLOR: #000000;
}

Why doesnt this work? I know its simple isnt it?

Are you using IE6? If so, the :hover pseudoclass is only supported on <a> elements. You'll have to upgrade to a smarter browser (IE7, FF, Opera, Safari, etc..) to get to use the :hover functionality on anything other than an anchor.

You could use Javascript and the onmouseover event handler.
