Hi guys :)

Css "over" selector applys a temporary style to an element, it isn't definitive:

div:hover {
 background-color: red;
}

I can use the same thing with javascript but it is a bit complicate and impossible for several elements:

var elem = document.getElementByTagName ("div")[0];

elem.onmouseover = function () {
 this.style.backgroundColor = "red";
}

elem.onmouseout = function () {
 this.style.backgroundColor = "transparent";
}

There is a better way ? Something like this:

document.getElementByTagName ("div")[0].ontemporarymouseover = function () { // LoL
 this.style.backgroundColor = "red";
}

Thanks
