Changing background colour of tr element on mouseover

Question

I want to have my table rows highlighted on mouse over  but I have yet to find a way to do it that isn t using Javascript  Is this not possible in CSS   I ve tried this   tr hover       background   000      But that doesn t work  Using td hover works  but I want to change the background colour of the whole table row   Is there a pure CSS HTML way to do it  or am I going to have to resort to Javascript

You could try   tr hover       background-color   000     tr hover td       background-color  transparent     or  000        JS Fiddle demo

This will work     tr hover       background   000  important      If you want to only apply bg-color on TD then   tr hover td       background   c7d4dd  important      It will even overwrite your given color and apply this forcefully

I had the same problem   tr hover   background   000  important      allone did not work  but adding  tr hover td   background  transparent      to the next line of my css did the job for me    My problem was that some of the TDs already had a background-color assigned and I did not know that I have to set that to TRANSPARENT to make the tr hover work    Actually  I used it with a classnames    trclass hover   background   000  important     trclass hover td   background  transparent      Thanks for these answers  they made my day
