        <tr id="tr4" align="center" style="display: none;">

    </table
>

</
body>
</
html>

Step 2:
Now we write the javascript function for the onmouseover event:


    <script language
="javascript">
 
        function Show1()
        {
            document.getElementById("tdmain1").style.backgroundColor = "#780000";
            document.getElementById("tdmain1").style.color = "White";
            document.getElementById("tr1").style.display = 'block';
            document.getElementById("tr2").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr3").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr4").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr5").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr6").style.display = 'none';
        }
 
        function Show2()
         {
            document.getElementById("tdmain2").style.backgroundColor = "#780000";
            document.getElementById("tdmain2").style.color = "White";
            document.getElementById("tr2").style.display = 'block';
            document.getElementById("tr1").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr3").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr4").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr5").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr6").style.display = 'none';
 
        }
 
        function Show3()
        {
            document.getElementById("tdmain3").style.backgroundColor = "#780000";
            document.getElementById("tdmain3").style.color = "White";
            document.getElementById("tr3").style.display = 'block';
            document.getElementById("tr2").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr1").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr4").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr5").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr6").style.display = 'none';
 
        }
 
        function Show4()
        {
            document.getElementById("tdmain4").style.backgroundColor = "#780000";
            document.getElementById("tdmain4").style.color = "White";
            document.getElementById("tr4").style.display = 'block';
            document.getElementById("tr2").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr3").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr1").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr5").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr6").style.display = 'none';
 
        }
 
        function Show5()
         {
            document.getElementById("tdmain5").style.backgroundColor = "#780000";
            document.getElementById("tdmain5").style.color = "White";
            document.getElementById("tr5").style.display = 'block';
            document.getElementById("tr2").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr3").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr4").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr1").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr6").style.display = 'none';
 
        } 

        function Show6()
         {
            document.getElementById("tdmain6").style.backgroundColor = "#780000";
            document.getElementById("tdmain6").style.color = "White";
            document.getElementById("tr6").style.display = 'block';
            document.getElementById("tr2").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr3").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr4").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr5").style.display = 'none';
            document.getElementById("tr1").style.display = 'none';
 
        }
    </script
>

Here we set the property according to our requirement.

Step3: Now we write the function for the onmouseout event in the javascript:

function Hide1()
{
    document.getElementById("tdmain1").style.backgroundColor = "Gray";
    document.getElementById("tdmain1").style.color = "Black";
 
}
 

function
Hide2()
    {
    document.getElementById("tdmain2").style.backgroundColor = "Gray";
    document.getElementById("tdmain2").style.color = "Black";
 
}
 

function
Hide3()
{
    document.getElementById("tdmain3").style.backgroundColor = "Gray";
    document.getElementById("tdmain3").style.color = "Black";
 
}
 

function
Hide4()
{
    document.getElementById("tdmain4").style.backgroundColor = "Gray";
    document.getElementById("tdmain4").style.color = "Black";
 

 

function
Hide5()
{
    document.getElementById("tdmain5").style.backgroundColor = "Gray";
    document.getElementById("tdmain5").style.color = "Black";
 

 

function
Hide6()
{
    document.getElementById("tdmain6").style.backgroundColor = "Gray";
    document.getElementById("tdmain6").style.color = "Black";
}
