"But i don't think your suggestion would work anyway. As far as i know,
Hover events can be applied only to the hovered or nested elements."
lol you're completely right. I'm not sure what I was thinking - I've
been working with JS a bit too much recently.
I agree that a CSS approach is always the first choice, although I don't
think validation is a factor - including a .js file, as far as I know,
will not fail you on any (x)html or css validation.
If the site is launching without a single line of JS in sight, then I
admit that it is a factor. But if not, then using an onmouseover
instead of a :hover isn't really a major issue. And besides, you can
use JS to ensure that a lack of JS isn't an issue - get your
non-javascript enabled browser fallback code in place, then hide it with
a document.getElementById("whatever").style.display = "none"; - so if
JS is off, the code is displayed. I'd rather have my site looking
perfect for 99% of people than looking less than perfect for everyone
because of a few paranoid visitors.
I haven't had a chance to look at that tutorial you mentioned earlier on
your site - sounds interesting, I'll jump on now and take a look ;)
P.S. pkr - any chance of a beta invite to your site? :)
