onmouseover change border color?

[Dark Knight 0]

i'm having a problem with this code:

onMouseover="this.style.border: 1px solid #000000;" onMouseout="this.style.border: 1px solid #FFD700;"

This code should change the border of a cell when the mouse is over that cell. but it dosen't work. where is the problem? thanks for your posts.

You need to use the assingment operator (=)

onmouseover="this.style.border = '1px solid #000000'" onmouseout="this.style.border = '1px solid #FFD700'"

You could also use CSS:

#id {border-color: #000000;}#id:hover {border-color: #FF0000;}

Where id is the id of your element, and the border-color is the hexidecimal or named color of your choice.

The above solution will not work in IE 6- unless it is a link.

Try assigning an element to the cell.
