code tidy

please could you inspect this code and tell me any errors. It is a dictionary script so i shows words from a database with the definition underneith.

here are ones that i can't fix:

There are 2 divs ontop of each other which makes some borders thicker than the other
Some searches start out as bold word and non-bold descripton(that's meant to happen) but then half way down all the text is bold and the borders are thicker
the extend() javascript function does not work

other than that everything else works.

so please can you help clean up my code and tell me what i need to do to fix some of the things.

here's the code:

<style type="text/css">
      div 
      {
      font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
      font-size: 30px;
      border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
width: 700px;
background-color: #2CFFB5;
padding: 0px;
      }
      div#div:hover {
background-color:#f1f1f1;
cursor:pointer
      }
      .highlight {
      color: red;
      }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function hover() 
{
document.getElementById("div").style.border="thick solid #0000FF";
}

function extend(str)
{
document.getElementById("extend").innerHTML=str;
document.getElementById("extend").style.width="800px";
}
</script>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("dictionary");
$words = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM words");
$q = strtolower($_GET['q']);
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM words WHERE word LIKE '%$q%' OR definition LIKE '%$q%'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
   $tags1 = "<div id=\"div\" onMouseOver='hover()'><b>";
   $tags2 = "</b><br />";
   $tags3 = "<br /><br /></div>";
   $string1 = $row['word'];
   $string2 = $row['definition'];
   if (strlen($string2)>43) 
   { 
      $tags1 .= "<div id='extend' onMouseOver=\"extend(".$string2.")\">" . $tags1;
      $tags3 = $tags3 . "</div>";
      $string2 = substr($string2, 0, 40); 
      $tags3 = "...<br /><br /></div>";
   }
   $string3 = str_ireplace($q, "<span class='highlight'>$q</span>", $string1);
   $string4 = str_ireplace($q, "<span class='highlight'>$q</span>", $string2);
   $string = $tags1 . $string3 . $tags2 . $string4 . $tags3;
   $string = strtolower($string);
   if (strlen($string)>25) 
   { 
      substr($string, 0, 25); 
   }
   echo $string;
}

if (mysql_num_rows($query)==0)
{
   echo "No words found";
}

if ($q=="")
{
   echo "Type a word";
}
?>

and the index page:

<html>
   <head>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>
      <style type="text/css">
      p {
      font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
      color: #FF4B2C;
      }
      
      a:link {
      color: #FF4B2C;
      }
      
      a:visited {
      color: #FF4B2C;
      }
      
      html {
         background-color: #2CE0FF;
      }
      
      h1 {
      color: #2C76FF;
      }
      
      #input {
         width: 700px;
         height: 55px;
         font-family: verdana;
         font-size: 35px;
         background: #A4EF9C url(a.png) no-repeat left -15px ;
      }
      #input:hover {
         background-color: #ffffff;
      }
      #input:focus {
         background: #ffffff url(a.png) no-repeat left -11125px ;
      }
      
      h1 {
         font-size: 50px;
      }
      
      div {
      
      }
      </style>
   </head>
   <body>
      <h1>The dictionary</h1>
      <form>
         <input type="text" id="input" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)" /> 
      </form>
      <p>
      <div id="txtHint"></div>
      </p>
      <p>
         <a href="word.php">Make up your word now!</a>
      </p>
   </body>
</html>

and the ajax script:

function showHint(str)
{
if (str.length==0)
  { 
  document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
  return;
  }
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","gethint.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
