You can't apply a ":hover"

You can't apply a ":hover" style inline, as kazimmerman says. You can do it in the CSS, except for the fact that IE 6 only applies ":hover" on links ('A' tags with href). The code you give should work in other browsers, though.

There are scripting solutions for this failure in IE 6. I use whatever.hover from Peter Nederlof.

If you still can't get your code to work on your web page, put a sample page on a server somewhere so we can look at it. Otherwise we are just guessing.

Hi, welcome to the forums

I've removed the links from your posts as we don't allow self promoting links in posts, but you can use your signature for that.

I wanted to use an inline style to apply it to only 1 specific table

You could create a unique class in your CSS stylesheet for this specific requirement. A new unique name specifically only for this row, and then call the new class in your <tr>.

I don't think that's

I don't think that's possible with inline CSS, but you could use JavaScript to do it, using the onmouseover event, doing something like this:

...
<tr onmouseover="this.style.background=COLOR" >
