Tom,

You could do something similar for by putting the handler in the table.  So
long as the cellspacing is 0 the event is guaranteed to be fired from the
TD.  For ie you would do something like this:

<table
  onmouseover="event.srcElement.parentNode.className = 'on';"
  onmouseout="event.srcElement.parentNode.className = 'off';">

The model is different for different browsers, so watch out.  But, if the
platform is IE, then the above code may work for you.
