You'll notice the suggestions here all focus on applying the hover with js rather than CSS. From your initial post, you suggested you are using tr:hover. IIRC, this won't work in IE6, which only respects :hover for <a> elements.
Part of what you're seeing is, as you seem to recognize, the Highlight effect setting the bg color at the element, which would override any CSS classes that might otherwise have effect. You may find it helpful to use the 'afterFinish' callback to remove style settings at the element level to allow the CSS class settings to properly cascade. http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/CoreEffects TAG On Jul 5, 2007, at 11:58 AM, szimek wrote: > > Hi, > > i've got a problem with highlighting table rows that change their > color when user hovers mouse over them - when user clicks some buttons > in the row, it is highlighted and then it goes back to the color > specified in tr:hover, not to it's original color.
