Just to clarify this, do you mean to say that in addition to
onMouseOver/Out, you suggest I also do onFocus/Blur and that should satisfy?

You should test to make sure in the major browsers (and maybe
let the list know your results ;)
- it may be the case that onfocus and onblur will suffice (that is,
accommodate mouse users and keyboard users), otherwise I don't
see any harm in providing both event handlers.
hope that helps..

On the NCAM site we have the mouseover/out and focus/blur event handlers, and they show the effect in
every version of IE that I've tried, and in the newer netscapes. However, netscape 4 browsers don't allow
tabbing through links and opera 5 & 6 don't show the effect (although opera has a very visible focus ring,
which is the point of our rollover).
