This worked for me, even within a div:
div.cntrblk tr:hover td {
line-height: 150%;
background-color: rgb(255,0,0);
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 150%;
border: 0;
}
It selected the entire row, but I'd like it to not do the header, haven't looked at that yet. It also partially fixed the fonts that wouldn't scale-up with the hover??? Apparently you to have apply settings to the cell not the row, but select all the component cells with the tr:hover. On to tracking down the in-consistent font scaling problem. Sweet that CSS will do this.
