Hi,

How can I write this correctly?

a:hover {
expression(selfTimer());
}

<a style=" expression(selfTimer()) " href= .....></a>


Thanks

Correct according to CSS2.1? Neither selfTimer nor expression, nor
JavaScript are defined in any of the CSS specs I'm familiar with. I
reckon that makes your post OT here.

I *think* (i.e., I'm guessing wildly) that you want something like

a:hover { property: expression(selfTimer()); }

where "property" refers to something CSS-ish that can be determined by
whatever selfTimer does. An example of a property would be font-size or
background-color or margin-top, none of which sound like timer-friendly
properties. Maybe you're trying to do something aurally or with CSS3?

Anyway, even if I got the syntax right, I wouldn't expect whatever it is
to work in non-IE browsers or where scripting is not turned on. I take
this to be IE-proprietary junk.

Maybe you should ask in c.l.javascript or some Microsoft or IE group.

re: expression


In this world everything has a tendency to split his way apart ;-)

I did not check if it was a proprietary CSS thing. But I learned
JavaScript and I was foolishly happy to see they could be joined.


Thanks again
