Sometimes it is beneficial to change color as a mouse hovers over a link.

So if the link is an image map, it is useful for the user to know it is a link by changing the color of the image map.

And if the link is a word or words, it is also helpful for the user to know it is a link.

I see nothing I can identify in the manual that tells me how to create that color/color change. This is only for when the mouse is hovering, about to activate the link. I just need a clue and I can follow through. Thanks.

Jim,

I'm not specifically using CSS. Your solution seems to have a lot of CSS steps. Is that the only way to get a color change when the mouse hovers over a link? Is there not another method? If not, I'll try the long way.

Why the ^$%#! not? :)

Doing this without CSS is the long way. Don't hurt yourself. Learn the basics of CSS and you'll save infinite time.

And when you start using it, don't mix it up with font tags, use it throughout.
