<script type="text/javascript">

function Init ()
{
	var a_lis = document.getElementsByTagName ("li");
	for (var i = 0; i < a_lis.length; i++)
	{
		a_lis [i].onmouseover = Hover;
		a_lis [i].onmouseout = function () {this.className = "";}
	}
}

function Hover (e)
{
	this.className = "hover";
	if (e)
	{
		e.cancelBubble = true;
		e.returnValue = false;
	}
	else
	{
		event.cancelBubble = true;
		event.returnValue = false;
	}
	return false;
}

window.onload = Init;
