I'm a little new to CSS and stuck with this little problem. I want the background color of a row in a table to change when I hover over that row. I wrote the code below, but for some reason only the hovering part does not work. I tried browsing in Google Chrome v24 and Firefox v18. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong. Thanks.
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style> table.contacts { width: 580px; background-color: #fafafa; border: 1px #000000 solid; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; } .contacts th { background-color: #99CCCC; font-family: Verdana; text-align: left; border-bottom:1px #000000 solid; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; padding:4px; margin:4px; color: #404040; } .contacts td { border-bottom: 1px #6699CC dotted; text-align: left; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif, Arial; font-weight: normal; font-size: .7em; color: #404040; background-color: #fafafa; padding:4px; margin:4px; } table tr:hover { background-color:blue; } </style> </head> <body> <table class="contacts" cellspacing="2"> <tr> <th>Subscription Scheme</th> <th>Amount</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Monthly Subscription(Family)</td> <td>Rs 200</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Monthly Subscription(Individuals)</td> <td>Rs 100</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Monthly Subscription(Company)</td> <td>Rs 500</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Yearly Subscription(Family)</td> <td>Rs 2000</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Yearly Subscription(Company)</td> <td>Rs 5000</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Festival Subscription</td> <td>Rs 1000</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
