Highlight Row on Hover
- Thread starter mdr2271
- Start date
You need to use javascript as IE doesn't understand the :hover psuedoclass on anything other than <a> elements.
If you do what you have done in the first option and view the page in Firefox then I think it may work.
I can't remember if the psuedoclass is case sensitive, but you may well find you need to use a lower case "h" on "hover"

Here is a very simple bit of code to see if this works (still doesn't for me):
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<style>
.tablerow:Hover {background-color: #CCCCCC}
</style>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr class="tablerow">
<td> test </td>
<td> test </td>
</tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td> test </td>
<td> test </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<style>
.tablerow:Hover {background-color: #CCCCCC}
</style>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr class="tablerow">
<td> test </td>
<td> test </td>
</tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td> test </td>
<td> test </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Do it this way

Either seems to work.
Hmm, I guess yours makes more sense though.

Actually, mdr's test page works fine on Firefox, provided you add a DOCTYPE to the start. Apparently hover behaviour is different in quirks mode.
It still won't work in IE of course. If it's important to you, you could consider using Dean Edwards IE7 script - - to make IE6 behave in a bit more up-to-date manner.
