css rollover text display

[runnerboy49]

I want to do something similar to a javascript image swap rollover, but completely with css and what I want to happen is when you rollover a <td> to have text show up in a specific spot next to it. thanks for any help.

you can try something like:

td {
background-image:url('blah.gif');
}
td:hover {
background-image:url(blah2.gif');
}


but the newest IE wont support it :(
im afraid you might have to use javascript, if only something small.

If you want to, you could try doing this in all CSS. Eric Meyer has a nice little tutorial:
