You can do it in Both IE and Netscape, but have to use different methods.
In IE it's simple as the color property is supported almost everwhere.
Something like the following in IE:
<SPAN ONMOUSEOVER="this.style.color='red'"
ONMOUSEOUT="this.style.color='black'">
Some Text
</SPAN>
Netscape is a bunch more complicated but it can be done with <layer>
(<layer> tag supports the bgColor property but NOT the text this.Color
property which is a pain. You can do the following though:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
.alternate {color: red }
</STYLE>
<layer ONMOUSEOVER="window.document.layers[1].visibility='visible' ;
this.visibility='hidden'">
Some Text
</layer>
<layer class="alternate" VISIBILITY="hide"
ONMOUSEOUT="window.document.layers[0].visibility='show' ;
this.visibility='hidden'">
Some Text
</layer>
Hope this helps you a little.
Regards,
Mark.
