 * Pretty much the same topic that was opened by amikahad three years ago. There’s
   no answer on the post, but I checked his site and he seems to have fixed the 
   issue. Anybody know how it was done?
 * thanks!

 * Can you link to a page with the issue & describe the issue further?

 * Sure.

 * I think it’s a row-level (tr) hover issue – the left cell spans two rows, so 
   the hover affects the left and right cells independently.
 * thanks for the quick response!

 * So you don’t want the table to change colour at all? Or the colour is wrong?

 * Yes, for this page, I’d prefer to have the table with a static background. So
   the color before the hover is what I’d like to preserve. I tried overriding table
   tr:hover on the page, but the best I could do was remove the darker background
   completely, which I don’t want.
 * thanks for looking into this!

 * Try adding:
 *     ```
       table tr:hover td {
        background: url(images/blacktrans.png);
       }
       ```
   
 * Where are you adding this CSS btw?

 * I’ll try that again.
 * That’s what I tried first. I was putting it via edit page:
    <!– this is the top
   of the editable region for the page –> <div class=”posttop”> <h2 class=”posttitle”
   >Inside the Tall, Thick Book of Tales</h2> </div> <style> table tr:hover td {
   background: url(images/blacktrans.png); } </style>
 * Still behaving the same.
 * thanks!

 * Install this Custom CSS Manager plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)
 * Then use its “CSS Code” [section of the dashboard](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshot-1.jpg?r=704634)
   to hold your CSS modifications.

 * I have to run off to do errands, but I’ll take a look at this later. Thanks,
