Changing object style on mouse event

[raven]

I often use the structure:

onmouseover="this.src='image_over.gif';

to change an image on a mouseover event.


I have tried to use:

onmouseover="this.class='altButton';

to change the style of a button on the mouseover event.


This however doesn't work! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

try

this.className

Brilliant, thank you.
