That's the way to go (with CSS).

There's not any problem highlighting cells with a mouseOver
event on the TABLE tag.
However, to make them go back to their original color is a bit more
tricky.

The best way to do this is to programmatically attach the events to
every table cell.

For instance, you can do it like this:

window.onload = function (){
var arrAllTDs = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
for(var i=0; i<arrAllTDs.length; i++){
arrAllTDs[i].onmouseover = function (){
this.style.backgroundColor = "navy";
this.style.color = "white";
}
arrAllTDs[i].onmouseout = function (){
this.style.backgroundColor = "white";
this.style.color = "navy";
}
}
}



/Robert

Hi All,

I would like to know how to highlight any table cell that the user
hovers their mouse over with a single function that does not have to be
added in the individual cells or rows.

For instance, I would like something this:

<table border="0" width="100" onmouseover="javascript:highlightcell()">

The result is that this should highlight only one cell in the table, no
matter which cell the user puts their mouse over.

I don't know if this is possible, but maybe it can be done by
determining which cell the user has their mouse over, and then
highlighting that cell.
