Question

    protected void MasterCust_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Alternate)
        {
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='#eefef0';");
        }
    }     

how would I get this into css instead?

grid.highlight
{
background-color:Blue;
}

Something like this?

Answer 1

You can use the hover selector.

grid.highlight:hover
{
    background-color:Blue;
}

IE 6, 7 and 8 sometimes have problems with the hover selector so, for those, you can use Whatever:hover.
