Maybe it's because nobody has answered the original question? The
question was to be able to change the background color of a table cell
that a user mouse's over. The problem lies in the fact that the A tag is
being used when it should be the TD's onmouseover/out that is being
used. If the table cell is wider than the link is, the problem becomes
very apparent :)
