About Andrew Hoffman
Expertise
I can field just about any question within this topic ranging from JavaScript to CSS, the two ingredients of DHTML. I`m very interested in the W3C and its validation rules for HTML, XHTML, and CSS, and enjoy answering questions of this type as well. I detest sleep and respond at all hours of the day or night.


Experience
Experience in the area
I've been working with DHTML and CSS for 7 years now and build/maintain websites of my own that implement DHTML navigation.

What I'm doing now
My contract with Microsoft has ended and I am working for myself once again. Please contact me for any front-end work at antibland@gmail.com

DHTML - onMouseOver Link


Expert: Andrew Hoffman - 7/5/2008

Question
Hey, I'm designing a website and haven't really used Javascript a lot. Anyway,
what I've been trying to figure out (unsuccessfully...) is how/if it's possible to
activate a link when the mouse hover above it. I felt Javarscript would be the way
to go but I keep finding only images changing and how to customize the style of
a link...

I would be really happy if I could get some help (or if you know it is not
possible...)

Answer
Hi Robin,

Try this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
</head>

<body>
<a href="#" onmouseover="location.href='http://google.com'">Hover</a>
</body>
</html>
