    Hi,
    I have the following simple html code:

    
<head>
<style type="text/css">
        body { color: black; background: white; }
        td.box { background: #E0E0E0; }
        td.box:hover { background: #9999FF; }
        td.box:active { background: #FF6600; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
        <td class="box"><a href="a1.jsp" target="frame2">A</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td class="box"><a href="a2.jsp" target="frame2">B</a></td><br>
</tr>
</table>
</body></html>
    Code (markup):
    This code works fine with FireFox.... the color changes when passing over the link..... but it does not work with Explorer (version 6)

    Could someone help me please?

    Thank you

    IE supports :hover pseudo class only on <a> elements. So, you either have to replace <td> with <a> or use some other (JavaScript?) way.
