Hi Ali,

fiddled with it today, still no go (for nn). I'm beginning to think I remember it's unsupported in ver 4 & down, but that may just be a wish for an alibi on my part. Part of the problem is that it refuses to recognize the source. I even tried source.document.bgColor with no luck. Either Netscape doesn't support changing the property, or I'm a bit thick-headed.

btw: isOk is defined as ie4+ browser

is there no possibility to do it in N? it's for internal use in our company and all of us have N, not IE...

Hi, It can be done in IE and you can see an example of it here if you're interested.

Hi Ali,

I've managed to do it with IE with dHTML, but NN doesn't like it. (haven't had time to play with it lately)

function swapColor(cell, switchOn)
{
source = (isOk) ? document.all[cell] : document.layers[cell];
if (switchOn == true) source.bgColor = '#66ff66';
else if (switchOn == false) source.bgColor = document.bgColor;
}

<td id="cellB0" onMouseOver="return swapColor('cellB0',true)"
onMouseOut="return swapColor('cellB0',false)">cell contents</td>

Hope this helps (and makes up for the confusion with css)
