It is realised both in CSS and in Javascript.

@ BennetRich,

This is possible with CSS alone.

This thread has been answered on another forum, and it was well said:

Hope that was helpful for both of you.

Explain why cannot be Javascript?

[rangana]

Because CSS can do it.

Why would you choose to do it via JS when CSS can do it btw?

JS could be disabled, CSS couldn't.

[BennettRich]

I do not speak that I wish to do it through Javascript, I tell that that through Javascript it too is realised. Though also process is more difficult...

[rangana]

Could you show me how you would do it in JS, and at the same time, provide an unobtrusive approach.

[BennettRich]

I have written that in Javascript less convenient, but nevertheless is realised, you understand me? I seem to me all the same is right.

[rangana]

Could you show your the script you've made.

That way, me, as well as other members of the board could learn from it.
