onMouseOver-commands in CSS?

[knuhe]

Hello, I'm new to CSS, and also new on this community.

I'm trying to figure out how to place a onMouseOver command into one of my stylesheets.
In this example I want my table column to change color when i move my mouse over it.

This is the code I've made so far:

[code]
.menytabell {
       width: 149px;
       height: 14px;
       background-color: #EEEEEE;
}
[/code]

Now here comes my problems... I that code to match this equivalent, so I can save space and make my menu editings go faster:

[code]<td width=149 height="14" style="background-color:#EEEEEE" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFF0'" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#EEEEEE'">
[/code]

Can any of you help me out?

Cheers

[code].menytabell {
       width: 149px;
       height: 14px;
       background-color: #EEEEEE;
}

.menytabell:hover {
       background-color: #FFFFF0;
}[/code]

the :hover pseudo class gets activated when you mouseover, and deactivated when you mouseout.

Yes use the :hover persuado class.

NOTE: currently IE6 doesn't support the :hover persuado class on any tag accept the anchor (a) tag, but IE7 now supports the :hover persuado class on any tag.

Thanks, I tried your solution, and it ought to work, but sadly it won't:(
It sees like it sticks with the

[code].menytabell {
       width: 149px;
       height: 14px;
       background-color: #EEEEEE;
}[/code]

and not changing the color when i move my cursor over the table element.

Do you know whats going on?

Do you know is this altso applies to Firefox? I'm using version 1.5.0.3.

It works for me - [code]Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3[/code]

Strange...

Have tried a few things, but it don't seem to work right.

Maybe it's my code in the HTML-file that's wrong?
Is this the right way to do it when I want a row in my table to change color when pointing at it?

[code]
<table>
<tr onclick=view('./index.html') height="14">
    <td class="menytabell">
          <div class="meny">Hovedsiden</div>
    </td>
<tr>
</table>
[/code]

Just remove the background-color from the class in you style sheet.

If that doesn't work, just make another class with the different background color and use the this.className='whatever' on the mouse event.
