How on earth do I create a simple (should be simple, should’nt it…) mouse over effect on some plain text? I’m trying to make some text change font color when I move the mouse over it. Do someone have a simple (I’m a beginner as you might have guessed…) answer for this or maybe a link to some site where this is explained.

Cheers

Mike
