It's much easier if you use the jQuery library.

you are not meant "to see CSS" and the wrong is your lack of copy-paste skill probably [!]
the code works perfectly in all browsers including the ones that are to be invented in the future.
and
what do you mean "events are not working as you've coded"? how "else" are they supposed to work? the other way around?
