Table rows refuse to highlight!

[rockinaway]

My table rows won't highlight, despite hover settings etc in CSS.

 

When I have them applied to the cells it works.

 

What could be wrong?

<table width=100%>
<tr onmouseover='this.style.background="yellow"; return true' onmouseout='this.style.background=""; return true'>
<td>
cell 1
</td>
<td>
cell 2
</td>
<td>
cell 3
</td>
<td>
cell 4
</td>
<td>
cell 5
</td>
</tr>
</table>
