CSS doesn't know what to do with tags like headerstyle-backcolor and behavior so if the server sends them to client rather that way, the browser will ignore them. If you're hoping to use client behaviors, realize that many browsers still don't support that aspect of DHTML. If you still want to head that route, the following article should help you out.

Thanks for the reply that really helped. In the end i simply used

Sub MyDataGrid_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles SupplierDataGrid.ItemCreated
e.Item.Attributes.Add("OnMouseOver", "this.style.backgroundColor = 'yellow';")
e.Item.Attributes.Add("OnMouseOut", "this.style.backgroundColor = 'white';")
End Sub

to handle it.

thanks again,

Matt.
