(This Script is Netscape6 Compliant and Fail-Safe on Netscape4.7)
A small note: My original plan was to update all the DHTML scripts to make them Netscape6 compliant. However, because of other commitments & because I had to move to another Web Host (Be very careful if you ever choose 9 Net Avenue as your Host!! Similar warning is applicable for Host Save! They couldn't transfer my domain to theirs even in 7 days!! Bad part was - they didn't even refund my $34 set-up cost!!).
Now, about this script. Simple but useful (I think!). Here's what it does -
OnMouseOver the table cell background colour changes. Reverts back to original OnMouseOut. You may have seen this effect elsewhere but (possibly) didn't realise, it's so easy & simple! One WARNING though:
It won't work on Netscapes older than version 6. If you are a Netscape user - time you upgraded to version 6 anyway!
The script itself is very simple. Points to remember are:
- Because it works on IE4+ & NS6 - the script should sniffed all other browsers. This is achieved through use of DOM norms.
- Remember to specify the MouseOut function call colour same as the DEFAULT table cell colour. (In this example, both are #ffffe1).
- Finally, insert the MouseOver & MouseOut function calls into each >TD< tags as I have done.
That's it folks! It's all yours if you want it.
