LinkButtons and MouseOver

[sramruttun]

I have an ascx page which acts as a menu. The menu has a table with a no of
linkbuttons. When the app is running, if I put my mouse over any linkbutton,
I get something like this in the status bar:
javascript: __doPostBack('Menu1$LBClient',")
Of course, LBClient is the name of i linkbutton.

Questions:
1) Is there a way to remove this, and instead have something like
'client.aspx' or nothing at all?
2) How do I implement a MouseOver event so that the linkbutton changes color
when I move my mouse around the linkbuttons? - I tried it, I was not able to
change the color of the linkbutton but the background color.

Hi sramruttun,

1) You need to use javascript for this. Take a look at window.status
2) There is a onmouseover event, but for changing color when mouse is over a
link you could avoid using this event for the simpler solution of using CSS,
something like:
<style>
.yourstyle {color:red}
.yourstyle:hover {color:blue}
</style>
<a href="A" class="yourstyle">blah</a>
