Thanks for the insight janeth. Looks like it's time to get rid of the yellow highlight.
It was actually a recommendation on a web marketing site. I did not have it there before. But since I've received a couple of posts saying so, I'll dump it.
Another question for you and anyone else.
SEO experts recommend as little java script as possible. Since the mouseover effect is javascript, should I just dump it in favor of "plain ole" html tags?
