I have a table rollover problem

Easiest would be giving all tds a certain style and override the tds you want with a specific class

/* All td elements within the table of class="tableclassname" */

.tableclassname td {
    background-color: #bla;
}

/* All td elements of class="specifictdclass" which are hovered and are within the table of class="tableclassname" */

.tableclassname td.specifictdclass:hover {
    background-color: #highlighted;
}

There is also the possebility to add that behavior to tr elements if you want to hightlight entire rows.

And if you like to like to highlight every first td in a row

.tableclassname tr td:firstchild:hover {
    background-color: #highlite;
}

Someone feel free to proove me wrong as the last one is ontested and I have no Idea how different browsers like that...

Thanks! you've helped alot! the first answer worked for me. it was just a class problem with me and a minor typo

code:

td: hover

what it should've been was:

td :hover
