Dynamic text that changes when you mouse over a link

[Jack31081]

In PHP, how would I make a line of text change depending on what link the user was currently hovering over? If this isn't possible, please let me know so I can think of an alternative.

You'd have to use JavaScript for that.

give the line of text id'd span tags, ie:

<span id="text1">1st Line of text</span>

then, for the link, give it an onMouseOver property that changes the css properties of the above line:

<a href="linkgoeshere.php" class="classgoeshere" onMouseOver="JavaScript: document.GetElementById('text1').style.color='NEWCOLOUR'" onMouseOut="JavaScript: document.GetElementById('text1').style.color='ORIGINALCOLOUR'">My link</a>

(java script should read JavaScript)

Is this what you mean?

PHP is server-side, you need a client-side language, so use javascript. This shouldn't be too difficult, if you need more help, post back
