Please tell us how does your HTML element get **highlited**.

Possibly the element is attached with a JavaScript onmouseover event handler which modifies some CSS property of the element. Are you aware of the implementation detail? Please tell “it” to us.

If you could tell us the detail, others would be able to advice you how to verify if “it” actually occurs as you expect it to. If you do not specify the way how to verify if “it” occurs, nobody would be able to advise you how to.

**Right** click on the element that you hover over and select “Inspect”. You may have to do this twice. That should give you the HTML of the element and show its attributes.
