SriDevi,
The following will do the trick. But works in IE only.

"sridevi",
The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp . We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please log in with a new name which meets the requirements.
Thanks.

In IE and Netscape you can do this:
<A HREF="http://my.yahoo.com" OnMouseOver="this.style.color='red'" OnMouseOut="this.style.color='black'">my.yahoo.com</A>

Hi !
this way of doing it changes the color of the text and not the background of the text.
thanks,

you should check out cascading style sheets, they can do all kinds of nify things, and you dont have to put 30000 <FONT> tags, or bgcolor attributes...

what you want to do is called hovering, i think....
