But how can you modify a property of some other style? e.g., If I hover over
a button I want to set the visibility property of a table.

For example, suppose I have

#SomeTable {
visibility:hidden;
}

a:hover
{
SomeTable.visibility:visible;
}

....

<table id="SomeTable">
</table>

<a href=" ">Link</a>

-----------

Can I change the properties of other styles within a style? I'll read up on
css and see if I can find the answer but I don't think of I have seen
anything like before.

Thanks,
Jon
