Why make things complicated?

Use simple css.

<STYLE>
.backchange{TEXT-DECORATION: none; color: black; background-color: white}
.backchange.hover {TEXT-DECORATION: none; color: black; background-color: blue}
</STYLE>

<a class = "backchange" href = "page.htm">Put the mouse over this and it turns blue!</a>

Ever hear of the guy who used a huge complicated java program to make an animated gif?

Maybe because there's this stupid browser which doesn't fully support CSS???? (NetScape)

Its not my fault the browser is stupid ;-)

But NS 6 supports it just fine, and it will be released soon.

Not to mention the fact that using a long js to do it really slows down loading times.
