Are you referring to Java or Javascript? They are two different things.

damn, outed,

i ment Javascript

NN4 and IE has their own proprietary ways of allowing javascript in css. There's no way in the css specs (yet) though.

I'd advice not to use it - what if a user has css enabled but not javascript, for instance?

You can use DHTML behaviors for IE5/6, and moz has a bindings language called XBL - in both cases, what they do is allow you to attach scripted behaviors to elements, or classes, or whatever.

You could also bind functions call to all instances of an element in a normal JS script - that would probably be the simplest and most x-browser way. Something like

window.onload = function()
{
if(typeof document.getElementsByTagName!="undefined")
{
//get <a> tags collection
var aTags = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
var aTagsLen = aTags.length;

for (var i=0;i<aTagsLen;i++)
{
//attach events
aTags[i].onmouseover = mouseoverFunction;
aTags[i].onmouseout = mouseoutFunction;
}

}
}

thanks for your help, but there are a 2 problems:

1. i dont speak such a good english, so i dont understand all.
2. i made the page with postnuke, so i dont have html-pages(not really)

could u explain me step for step the last "simplest way"? please.
