Opera 7.54 and td backgroundColor

[cjburkha]

Hi, I have 2 questions.

1. Does anyone know a good resource for Opera specific html questions?

2. If you look at each of these pages and hover over the right most collum, you will see different behaviors in Opera.

The only difference between the two pages is this line:

tdMenuObj.style.cursor="hand";

is removed. Does anyone know why setting the cursor style in script rather than CSS will affect the way the bagkgroundColor is painted?

Also, in Opera, the onmouseout event is fired when you move off the top of the text on the big cells. This does not happen when you move off the bottom of the text, only off the top. Any ideas about this behaviour?

Thanks for looking at my pages, and for any help you can give me.

hand" is not a valid attribute for the cursor style it should be pointer.

A cursor value of "hand" is IE-only. The proper value should be "pointer":

tdMenuObj.style.cursor = 'pointer';

Although I cannot say for sure (I don't have Opera installed at the moment), it may well be that it's baulking at the invalid property value, and screwing up other CSS as a result. Try fixing that and see what happens.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Gah! It was originally pointer, but I changed to hand to see if that made a difference.

Sorry about that, the behavior is still undexpected with

tdMenuObj.style.cursor = 'pointer'
