Garret, over at linuxart.com, has some very nice CSS stylin'. I've been pursuing something similar here with the mouseover effect for links within a post but his goes even further and styles up the whole post really nice.
Posted by asa at May 30, 2003 11:18 AMWow, I didn't know CSS could do that...
That looks great, wonder if it works in IE :)
Posted by: Tom Sommer on May 30, 2003 03:03 PMall versions of IE only supports hover pseudo-element on links
Posted by: Davor on May 30, 2003 09:33 PMIt must just be me that doesn't like this sort of thing - it's a very jarring change when one hovers over the text.
While I could understand Asa's justification for the style of this blog:

I simply cannot see any justification for this linuxart one. It's pretty but extremely unsubtle.
Posted by: Colin Ramsay on May 31, 2003 05:08 AMI'm currently at a computer that has no browser to support what I think you guys are talking about... but, I had discussed this very topic over at Simiandesign.com: Blog-Fu. Through the discussion, a CSS and Javascript method came up that is supported by IE too.
Posted by: eliot on May 31, 2003 07:29 AMOK, I must be missing something -- I've got the lastest Firebird, and all that happens is that an individual link turns from blue/no underline to red/underline when you mouse over it. Surely, that can't be what you're all talking about...
Posted by: Jason on May 31, 2003 08:43 AMits not. the whole post gets a nice new background. and i very much like this effect.
Posted by: me on June 1, 2003 06:37 PMStrange; it works perfectly well on the older Moz I have at work. I'll have to give it another look when I get home tonight...
