I can’t answer the question directly. But here’s a CSS-only solution that allows for that functionality, I think: http://cssglobe.com/lab/tablecloth/

Scroll to the bottom of the article to change the settings so , for instance, only table rows highlight when moused over.

Thanks.. But it needs to be JavaScript because I want to modify a existing web page.

And I should add that this looks like what I need to do.

I just don’t want to give my CC info for one answer.

All the big JS libraries (jQuery, YUI, scripty) have CSS selection built in. You might want to try jQuery—it’s very lightweight.

You can also just strip out the CSS selection from EXT, we did that for a little bit.. but that’s a bit more involved.

Untested (and, convert curly apostrophes to straight tick marks):

var trs = document.getElementsByTagName(‘TR’);
for (var i = 0, len = trs.length – 1; i < len; ++i) {
if (trs[i].className.match(/myClassName/)) {
trs[i].onmouseover = function () {
this.className = this.className + ’ ’ + ‘hoverClass’;
}
trs[i].onmouseout = function () {
this.className = this.className.replace(/hoverClass/, ’’);
}
}
}

Something like that. It would be easier with a JavaScript library as the starting point.

Thanks for the info… I think it might be time to learn Javascript. I am still pissed about what Javascript did to the Internet in 1998. I have been hesitant to learn it.

I’m not sure about folding a JS library into a Greasemonkey script.

I’m off to Amazon to buy a “Dummies” book.

What did JavaScript do to the internet in 1998? :-)
