[ILUG] css, php, background colour help (Bluefish as Editor)

Sun Feb 8 10:28:14 GMT 2009

I imagine that it would be something like:

#background :hover{
background:<?php echo $color; ?>;
}

Using the above you would have to create a div inside the body and use  
your CSS powers to make it expand the width/height of the page. You  
could try body :hover but I doubt it would work, it doesn't work on  
tables either.

However if you want the background to have a new color every time you  
put your mouse over you would need to use some javascript because it's  
impossible with PHP without sending another request to the server (as  
far as I know).

Thanks
