HTML table mouseover events?

[Net Llama!]

I'm writing a (relatively trivial) web app in PHP, which generates a
large HTML table (15 columns, 35 rows).  Much of the content in the
table is dynamically populated from a PostgreSQL database.

The basic functionality works fine, and I'm trying to spruce up the
look & feel at this point.  One of the things that I'd like to do is
add a mouseover effect, such that the row & column where the mouse
pointer is hovering gets highlighted in a different color, kind of
like a cross hair.  I've googled quite a bit (as my javascript skillz
are just about non-existent), and found a few promising examples.
However, they all fail to work in one way or another.  One of them
only ends up highlighting the non-dynamic content in the table.
Another requires me to set a unique ID for every cell in the table,
which is just crazy (especially when they're getting dynamically
generated).

Has anyone done this sort of thing before?
