Bgcolor change on Cell Rollover Problem

Hi ! I am trying to do something veeeeeeeeeeeeeery simple but I feel like shooting myself after working on this for hours to no avail.

I am trying to get this to work:

I need 3 things:

  1. When the mouse is rolled over, the background color of the ENTIRE cell needs to change. Right now only a portion changes.

  2. The second and third boxes have only one line of text. For some reason I have to resort to padding-bottom and break spaces for the things to center vertically. It should do this automatically in my opinion.

  3. The hotspot for the link should be the entire box, not just the text.

Naturally it has to work in Firefox and IE… What am I doing wrong? Any help anyone?

:hugegrin:

PS: I would also like to incorporate the border of the cells into the stylesheet instead of using td style=“border-left” etc etc but I dont know how to do it so that it doesnt repeat the border on the sides in the cells in the middle!

Thanks in advance…
