It works in IE and NS 6 and above. It doesn't error out in NS but it just doesn't have the rollover effect that it does in IE.

Here is the code that you would insert into your tag. You will have to fill in the blanks for the colors.
----------------------------------------------------------
onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#';" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#';"
-----------------------------------------------------------

It is not a bad idea to add a bgcolor="#" attribute itself, if the table bgcolor is different. One like this would give you a darker gray background to a lighter gray background.

In addition, you may want to change the hover color in a stylesheet or in between some style tags by:
------------------------------------------------------------
A { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold }

A:link { color:#000099}

A:visited { color:#000099}

A:active { color:#000099}

A:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#990000 }

.nav {
text-decoration:none;
font-weight: 900;
font-size : 10px;
color:#000099;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.nav:active {
text-decoration:none;
font-weight: 900;
font-size : 10px;
color:#000099;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.nav:link {
text-decoration:none;
font-weight: 900;
color:#000099;
font-size: 10px;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.nav:visited {
text-decoration:none;
font-weight: 900;
color:#000099;
font-size: 10px;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.nav:hover {
text-decoration:none;
font-weight: 900;
color:#990000;
font-size : 10px;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
------------------------------------------------------------
This would create a class that you would call like such
-----------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps.

The simple IE specific approach (possibly NN6 also?) would be to use CSS and classes. Have 2 sets of link class attributes.

Busy is right though. To be crossbrowser compatible, I'd go with an image mousover effect.

I know you can change the background of table cells by way of mouse over but this only works in IE
It may be easier and more browser friendly if you use images for the mouseovers.
