I have a table cell that I'm using onMouseOver to change the style. In IE the change is slow. What is causing this and how do I fix it? I searched on Google, but didn't get very far.

Are you changing colors and/or font attributes, or are you changing images? I've only seen "lags" in IE when it came to swapping images, mainly because I've never figured out how to pre-load images in IE. But swapping styles has never given me any problems...

This usually has to do with preloading the images. I suggest looking for a preload script, or even playing around in something like Dreamweaver, which has a decent rollover script built-in.

no, i'm just changing background color of a cell. That's why it's so frustrating.

As FrutZle says, mouseovers on colour changes are immediate, your not using Filters by any chance, they are slow.

What code are you using? Is there anything on the pages that could cause the delay in the swapping of the colors?

<td onMouseOver="this.className='calh'" onMouseOut="this.className='cal'">

that's what I'm using - I had tried just doing this.style.background-Color also but same result.

BTW - it acts as I expect it to in Netscape

I used to use the same code except I didn't have this. in front of ClassName. I doubt that makes any difference though.

I just removed the this. ... made no difference. Maybe it's my browser. Can you check it out for me Frutz? http://www.ksta.org ... hover mouse over the calendar cells on the right.

Could you remove the custom cursor and see if that makes a difference. I have the feeling that that's what causing the delay.

I used a set of custom cursors on my site for a while, but didn't like them in the end. They're annoying IMO, mainly because they're not what you expect, and I find them easier to loose on the screen. It's kind of like those custom colored scroll bars... I'd rather not see those either.

As for a delay... there doesn't appear to be one for the changing colors, but there is one when the cursor has to be loaded, which happens a lot because of the cellspacing in the calendar.

Pretty fast for me, too. The only way I could get a lag was by moving the cursor very, very fast across the cells. Nice site design, btw.
