I've put up a testcase at http://forefront-tech.net/pub/badsel.html
that has me baffled.
The basic idea is that a small piece of Javascript adds a class name
"huvr" to an element on mouseover, and then removes it on mouseout. CSS
for the "huvr" class sets various display effects. Pretty basic DHTML
technique.
This all seems to work fine in Gecko (and I'm assuming in other
standards-based engines). It breaks in strange ways in IE6.
Take a look at the example above. The correct effect for a hover is to
turn the text color of the hovered element green, and to also set
various background colors for various other extant classnames.
In IE6, I get the result of the browser choosing the last-specified CSS
rule -- even though the other class is not on the hovered element.
Removing that rule, IE then picks the last remaining rule, etc.
WTF? Am I missing something?
Thanks,

All I get is the element that the cursor is over turns red, with white text,
under all circumstances in IE 6. I haven't looked with anything else.
Given what you're trying to do, why not just define each element with an <a>
tag, and then define an a:hover psuedo-class?
What I mean by "removing that rule" is to actually edit the example to
remove the last style rule. IE then picks whatever rule now falls last.
AFAICT, the reason this happens is because IE6 support for multiple
class selectors is (surprise, surprise) broken, and it simply ignores
any class selectors except the last selector, in other words, for IE:
TD.thisclass.th atclass == TD.thatclass
I don't want to use <a> tags, because that invokes *another* IE bug in
which the hover effect happens only on mouseover the text itself, not
the entire element. Er, until the element is clicked, at which point it
seems to work OK.
There are, as usual, ugly workarounds. But most of these seem only to
work with elements that have two possible classes. Working with three
possible classes, as I do, runs into apparently new bizzare and
terrible territory.
No wonder I have gray hair.

I know I've seen this issue described before, but I can't find it, or

I have some css-specified floating divs that contain images or text.
The text divs have a background color and text color that differ from
the rest of the page, and I'd like them to be positioned from the
right edge of the rightmost image div, to the right edge of the
browser window. In other words, if the browser window is 800 pixels...

The size of a struct can be affected by compiler packing. Suppose you need it to be a
specific value for some reason (e.g., in firmware). How can you get the compiler to
generate an error for the wrong size rather than assert it at run-time? Here is one way,
but I don't know if it's guaranteed to work on any compiler:
1/(sizeof(struct my_struct) == correct_size);
For me, the above produces a compile-time divide-by-zero error for the wrong...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
