I’m trying to achieve an effect, where the background color of the \<td\> changes when i roll over it.

Here’s my table

```auto

<table width="100" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="60" align="center">no link </td>
    <td width="40" align="center"> <a href="http://www.cnn.com" class="menu">link</a> </td>
  </tr>
</table>

```

all the css rollovers and stuff work for the link, but how do i make the td change it’s background color on rollover ?
