<span onmouseover="style.color='red'">Point here for red text.</span>
<span onmouseover="style.color='red'" onmouseout="style.color='black'">Point here to highlight red then change back</span>
<span onmouseover="javascript:alert('I love DHTML')">Point your mouse here for an alert</span>Submitted by Jeff Summers
