on off radio buttons

Hi

Need some help creating a on/off radio style button, doesnt have to be a radio button, as you will find out as you read.

I have two telephone lines coming into our computer room, for each company. I need to create an on screen show which line we are on. See code below.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<body>
 
<table border="1">

<tr>

<th> </th>

<th>Comp 1</th>

<th>Comp 2</th>

</tr>
 
<tr>

<td> Main </td>

<td><input type="radio" name="ext1" value="Man_ext1" /> </td>

<td><input type="radio" name="ext2" value="Man_ext2" /> </td>

</tr>

<tr>
 
<td> Reserve </td>

<td><input type="radio" name="ext1" value="Res_ext1" /> </td>

<td><input type="radio" name="ext2" value="Res_ext2" /> </td>

</tr>

</table>
 
</body>

</html>

As you will see its basic. Main feed should be in green, by default and reserve should be in grey. When I click Main it turns Main to Green and makes Reserve Grey. If I click Reserve it turns Main to grey and makes Reserve Red. Main and reserve can not be on at the same time, so must switch when click one or the other. I thought maybe I can use a gif to fill the table space, as I cant size the radio button to make it big enough to show which is on or off at a quick glance.

Im trying to avoid making it too compilcated and keep it within HTML/CSS.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks

to keep it with CSS you would need the :checked pseudo-class of CSS3, but I doubt that IE supports it.
