i am using a css file which is imported at the top of the cgi script. The problem with tr:hover is that it only highlights columns not entire rows....in my case that is css below

table {
        font: normal 76%/150% Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        border-collapse: separate;
        border-spacing: 0;
        margin: 0;
        color: #000;
        }
table a {
        color: #005ba7;
        text-decoration: none;
        border-bottom: 1px dotted;
        }
table a:visited {
        color: #444;
        font-weight: normal;
        text-decoration: line-through;
        }
table a:hover {
        border-bottom: 3px solid;
        background-color: navy;
        }
th {
        font-weight: bold;
        line-height: normal;
        padding: 0.25em 0.5em;
        text-align: left;
        }
table tr:hover  {
background-color: #DFE7F2;
color: #000000;
}
tr:hilite  {
background-color: #DFE7F2;
color: #000000;
}
