Aloha potential savior.

I decided to make a site with Excel (why is that so funny?), which is
going slow but ok, considering I know very little, but now ran into a
problem: When I integrate a mouseover tag into a cell, it results in
the cells being white upon first load. See for yourself:

How do I change the HTML code in order for the cells to start out with
a color instead of white?

Please make me stop ripping out my hair;-)
 
Although this is not an html group...

Where you have code such as:

<td colspan=4 class=xl56 style='border-right:.5pt solid black;cursor:hand'
onmouseout="bgColor='#ff66cc'"
onmouseover="bgColor='#ff0199'">fatherx</td>

You need to specify the bgcolor property to start with:

<td colspan=4 bgcolor=#ff66cc class=xl56 style='border-right:.5pt solid
black;cursor:hand'
onmouseout="bgColor='#ff66cc'"
onmouseover="bgColor='#ff0199'">fatherx</td>

notice the bgcolor attribute after your colspan?

Excel is not really the best tool for creating web-pages...

I know... but I had suspected that this was an Excel related problem.

Thanks, and yes, that is a very good idea. The actual page will be
under a different domain, and the mouseoversolution will neatly fit
under "Extra". I'll just add a third block with the solution and the
URL. I think my overall page will take another month, it really is a
rather huge project considering I'm a newbie. As for liking my example
page, I'm flattered. I guess I'll post the URL of my page once it's
complete.

Till then!
