Cascading Style Sheets

a:hover { background: #ffffcc;text-decoration: underline;}

Ya ofcourse this can be used for text but how abt images/graphics

Transparent .gifs along with aaronjf's suggestion above. You can also give them an a:active state. If the images are .jpgs, then you cannot produce the effect of the transparent gif and a:hover.

i didn't understood what u meant to say.. can u b a little bit more clear?

[aaronjf]

a:link img {border-color: #00f}

Although I have never tried this. It is supposed to work.

<added> this really is a question that belongs in the CSS or Webmaster General Section</added>

Sorry, wrong coding. Should have been.

a:hover img {border: solid #FF0000;}
