Topic: format hover in caption link?

Each of my images contains a link in its caption that takes the viewer to an online store. I would love to be able to format the "hover" behavior so that when the viewer moves their cursor over the caption text, it changes color to indicate that it's a link. The cursor itself changes, but I'd prefer to have the text color change. Is this possible?

Re: format hover in caption link?

You could use a caption such as:

<caption><![CDATA[<a style="color: #ff0000;" onmouseover="this.style.color='#00ff00';"  onmouseout="this.style.color='#ff0000';" href="http://www.example.com/">Caption Link Text</a>]]></caption>

However, this will work in the Mobile Player only and, as far as I am aware, there is no way to achieve a similar effect in the Flash Player due to only certain HTML tags and attributes being available within Flash.
