Possible Duplicates:
How do I embed an “a:hover{…}” rule into a style attribute in the middle of a document?
How to write a:hover in inline CSS?
I want to dynamically change the hover colour of an element, but not using external CSS stylesheets, only inline. This is the code (using php to generate the element)
echo '
<div class="container" style="color:#'.$color.'">
'.$contents.'
</div>';
When the user hovers over this container element, the color style will change to the value of $color
(at the moment there is no hovering).
Any help would be appreciated.
This will help you if javascript is appreciable
<TD onMouseOver="this.bgColor='#00CC00'" onMouseOut="this.bgColor='#009900'" bgColor=#009900>
<A HREF="http://www.mysite.com">Click Here</A></TD>
or

You can't, since you can't set the pseudo-selectors inline. Ideally, you should design separate classes in your external css which would represent the various hover states you need, and in PHP assign these classes to your content.
