hmm..I've never tried. Should be possible, but then again... :?
Make sure the code you use is a working code for mouse over effect.
Your code has a ; within it at the end. Should be more like this
Code:
<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#d8d9eb\" onMouseOver=\"this.style.backgroundColor=\'#000000\' this.style.cursor='hand';\" onMouseOut=\"this.style.backgroundColor=\"#d8d9eb\">";
IF it is the last line of code before the php starts again.
Otherwise if it is within the other html then it should not have the ; at the end. Only the last line of the html has the ; at the end.
