    changing "another" cell bg on hover

    I'd like to have it so when I hover over a cell in a table, the background of the adjacent cell (immediate right) changes to another color.

    I know how to change the color of the cell hovered over, but am not sure how to access the next cell over.

    I am using this code, where tdn1 is the ID for the hovered cell and tdn1 is the ID for the cell I want to change. I've tried changing the nama.id value to tdn1 but it does nothing. also changing tdn1.style.backgroundColor='#ff00000' causes errors (i'm guessing the function doesnt know what tdn1 is.

    can anyone help me out?

    TIA

    Code:
    function chcol(nama) { 
if(nama.id=='tdn0') { nama.style.backgroundColor = '#ff0000'} 
return true; 
} 
function retcol(nama) { 
nama.style.backgroundColor = '#ffffff'; 
return true; 
}
    .

    Hi there, welcome to the forums.

    Just to mention, using divname.style is not DOM-compliant. You may wish to try using the GetElementById method

    Best bet to get fixed, what are the errors? It should give us a very good idea of what the problem is. Could you post them? thanks.

    Hi there mphuie,

    Here is a clumsy way of doing it
    Code:
    <html>
<head>
<title>cell changer</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
table{position:absolute;left:300px;top:200px;border:solid 1px #000000;}
td{width:50px;height:50px;border:solid 1px #000000;}
//-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table summary="cell changer">
<tr>
<td id="one"onmouseover="getElementById('two').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('two').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
<td id="two"onmouseover="getElementById('three').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('three').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
<td id="three"onmouseover="getElementById('four').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('four').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
</tr><tr>
<td id="four"onmouseover="getElementById('five').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('five').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
<td id="five"onmouseover="getElementById('six').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('six').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
<td id="six"onmouseover="getElementById('seven').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('seven').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
</tr><tr>
<td id="seven"onmouseover="getElementById('eight').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('eight').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
<td id="eight"onmouseover="getElementById('nine').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('nine').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td>
<td id="nine"onmouseover="getElementById('one').style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"onmouseout="getElementById('one').style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';">*</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
    There is probably a much neater solution using javascript

    cthead
