colored hyperlinks in absolute position tables

[Guest]

I have 3 FrontPage website customers - one of which is really pushing my
envelope. He wanted drop-down menus. I searched here and found
http://interlacken.com/winnt/tips/tipshow.aspx?tip=28 - intimidating. But I
walked carefully through it and we are delighted. Thank you!

Now he wants rollover colors. There are 3 cells in the main table. On
mouseover one (which isn't really a hyperlink), he wants that word to change
color and the drop-down to change to a shade of the same color.

Please help. Thanks.

I don't have any experience with dropdowns, but to change the color of a
word or phrase, you could use something like this:

<span
onmouseover="this.style.color='Red'"onmouseout="this.style.color='Black'"

Mouseover me to

see me change colors.</span>

I think your client is asking too much and should be prepared to pay for
such arcana. The word changing color is a piece of quiche, but changing the
color scheme of the dropdown would require that you change the class of the
dropdown's container dynamically. It could be as simple as -

<span onMouseover="document.containerid.class=class2"...

Do you want it to revert onmouseout? So if that's the case, how will you
get to the dropdown to see that the color has changed.

Anyhow - there needs to be a bit uptick on the charge for this! 8)
