@Daniel_TMay 28.2004 — You'll need to use Javascript. For example:&lt;script type="text/javascript&gt;
function changeDiv(color)
{
document.getElementById('thediv').style.borderColor = "#"+color;
}
&lt;/script&gt;

...

&lt;div id="thediv" style="border: 1px solid #f00;"&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:changeDiv('0000ff');" title="Change my border color!"&gt;Change my border color by clicking here!!!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Note: when you apply the code, remove the space between "java" and "script" in the word "java script" in the anchor tag. It's a glitch that these forums have :rolleyes: And to change the color the border changes to, just put a different value where it has '0000ff'.

<div id="thediv" style="border: 1px solid #f00;"><a onMouseOver="document.getElementById('thediv').style.borderColor=#00f" onMouseOut="document.getElementById('thediv').style.borderColor=#f00" title="Change my border color!">Change my border color by clicking here!!!</a></div>

Success!
