    CSS hover: sepcifying color without background?

    Hi there,

    I have an HTML page with one large background image in the left corner.
    I've got various links positioned randomly on the image, and I use <span>
    tags to display text on another section of the page when hovering over the
    links. Here's an example of the code:

    <head>
    <title>My Title</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    a#link1 {font: bold 1em sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: #000080;
    position: absolute; top: 1px; left: 4px }
    a#link1:hover {color: #411; background: FFFFFF}

    a#link1 span {display: none}
    a#link1:hover span {display: block;
    position: absolute; top: 275px; left: 600; width: 300px;
    padding: 5px; margin: 10px; z-index: 100;
    color: black;
    font: 10px Verdana; text-align: center;}
    -->
    </style>
    </head>

    <body >
    <div align="left">
    <p><img src="image.jpg" width="600" height="400">
    </div>
    <a id="link1" href="URL"> My Link <span> The text that goes with My Link
    </span></a>
    </body>

    My problem is that I don't want the link itself to have a background color
    specified on the hover (This line: "a#link1:ho ver {color: #411; background:
    FFFFFF}"). The background image is multi-colored, so it looks strange. But
    without it...the text in the <span> tags will not appear. Does anyone have
    any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Shannon
