    text
    copied!<p>I have this table:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Choultry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="" &gt;Vegetable verndors&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="" &gt;Decorators&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="" &gt;Handicrafts&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>and each td has background color white and <code>font-color:rgb(121,0,0)</code>. So when I mouseover each td I want the background color to change to rgb(121,0,0) and font-color to change to white. So it alll works fine as long as I don't include <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> element i.e hyperlink element. By default hyperlink element is blue so I assign it to be rgb(121,0,0). When I mouse over td and do my usual reversing of color i.e. background color:rgb(121,0,0) and <code>color:white</code> only the background color changes whereas font color does not change it remains rgb(121,0,0) making it invisible. Meaning the changes to td does not reflect its child nodes i.e. <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> in this case.</p> <pre><code>.textTable td a { color:rgb(121,0,0); } .textTable td:hover { background-color:rgb(121,0,0); color:white; } </code></pre> <p>These below are diff ways i tried:</p> <p>1> </p> <pre><code>$(".textTable td").mouseenter(function(){$(".textTable td a").css("color","white");}); $(".textTable td").mouseleave(function(){$(".textTable td a").css("color","rgb(121,0,0)");}); </code></pre> <p>here the problem is it will make all elements inside .textTable td, that is quite obvious.</p> <p>2></p> <pre><code>.textTable td:hover { .textTable td a { color:white; } background-color:rgb(121,0,0); color:white; } </code></pre> <p>This was totally stupid.</p> <p>I know to have a complex code to solve this problem but is there any solution which is very simple so that even child nodes have the changes on their parents reflected?</p> <p>something like</p> <pre><code> $(".textTable td").mouseenter(function(){$(".textTable td a").css("color","white");}); $(".textTable td").mouseleave(function(){$(this).childNodes[0].css("color","rgb(121,0,0)");}); </code></pre>
