Highlighted cell link problem

[buddyrich2]

I have some cells which contain links that highlight on a mouseover - that works fine - and the links work fine (if you mouse DIRECTLY over the words) - I would like to be able to mouseover the ENTIRE cell, the link to work, and the text still change color according to the CSS. Can anyone help me?

Here is the code I am using:

<td bgcolor=#924D00 onmouseover="this.bgColor='#F5F5DC'" onmouseout="this.bgColor='#924D00'"><a class=mwhite href="

http://www.msn.com">MSN</font></a></td>

Thanks!

So let me get this straight.

The mouseOver/color change on the cell works. You just want the text to change colors on mouseOver?

Give your anchors a display style of "block".

Hope this helps,

And just use a list element and don't close font tags that were never opened.

Take a look at how I did it on

http://www.extraconnections.co.uk/

. No tables, no javascript, no <font> tags (get with the 21st century FFS), just some plain HTML:

<div id="menu">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <a href="/">Home</a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="/oracle/">Oracle</a>
    </li>
... etc ...
  </ul>
</div>

Then all the presentation is in the CSS

#menu ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-left: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  padding:0
}

#menu li {
  margin-left: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
}

#menu li a {
  display: block;
  padding: 2px;
  color: white;
  background-color: #996699;
  border-top: 2px solid #CC99CC;
  border-left: 2px solid #CC99CC;
  border-right: 2px solid #663366;
  border-bottom: 2px solid #663366;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-decoration: none;
  width: 142px; 
}

#menu li a:hover {
  background-color: #CC99CC;
  border-top: 2px solid #FFCCFF;
  border-left: 2px solid #FFCCFF;
  border-right: 2px solid #996699;
  border-bottom: 2px solid #996699;
}
