Menu In Netscape

[greyone]

I have a table with a div tag which is generated through javascript. Now the problem is that i want to change the cell color on mouse over but nothing seems to happen in Netscape. I'm using Netscape 4.74. The code is as follows.
Please help.

function changeColor()
{
document.write(&quot;<span id=dropmenu0 style='position:absolute;left:10px;top:0px;width:200pt; border-style:solid; border-width: 2pt; border-color:black; font-weight:bold; visibility:visible;'&quot


document.write(&quot;<table border='1' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' >&quot

for (i=0;i < 9;i++)
{

estr=&quot;<tr><td align='left' style='background-color:#CCCCCC;' onmouseover=this.style.bgcolor='#FF0000' onmouseout=this.style.bgcolor='#CCCCCC'>&quot;

printstr = estr+'</a></td></tr>'

document.write(printstr)
}
document.write('</table>')

document.write(&quot;</span>&quot;
}

the mouseover/out events set
this.style.bgcolor

shouldn't it be
this.style.background-color ?

but that's what i have done in the code

because NS4 is so bad, it won't understand an onmouseover of a table cell, but fi it could the code for netscape to change color would be:

this.backgroundColor='validcolor' jared@aauser.com -

i checked up the Netscape DHTML reference and it said that there is no such property as backgroundColor but there is a property bgColor which is equivalent. i guess even this dos'nt help. Is there any other way.
