HTML 4 defines that onmouseover is an intrinsic event handler of the COL element. However, when I set up a table col element with an onmouseover handler that doesn't fire when I mouseover the table column. <html> <head> <title>col test</title> </head> <body> <table border="1"> <col style="background-color: blue;" onmouseover="alert(event.type + ' for ' + event.target);" > <col style="background-color: red;"> <thead> <tr> <th> Name </th> <th> Home </th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td> Kibo </td> <td> <a href="http://www.kibo.com">http://www.kibo.com</a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html>
Confirmingh on build 2001041704 on WinNT4. It should work, here's the link to the specs. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.4.2

Any update on this? It's still not firing and doesn't fire for <colgroup> either. This seems to also be why :hover support is missing for both of these elements. All major browsers have this issue at the time of writing.
