Q903 Can you change the attributes of a link to italics?

In Internet Explorer 4 this is really easy to do:

<a href="http://www.irt.org" style="color: blue;" onMouseOver="this.style.fontStyle='italic'" onMouseOut="this.style.fontStyle='normal'">irt.org</a>

In Netscape Navigator 4 it is only possible with the aid of a large amount of JavaScript code. Take a look at the existing FAQ # 120 Is it possible to highlight the text of a link using onMouseOver?.
