IE and the dreaded :hover issue...

Fairly new at converting over to using non-table layouts, but I've been working at this one particular issue for over 6 hours now with no real perceivable results...

The page in question is W3C valid and I used this tutorial as a guide...

Now I'm not sure how they got their example to display properly in IE, but it just won't work for me when I reproduce the code to fit my own.

The page I'm testing this on is http://www.rockymountainpond.com/test_site/

The css file is http://www.rockymountainpond.com/tes...css/layout.css

And it does use csshover.htd fix for IE.

Any ideas what might be prohibiting this stylesheet from working correctly? I've tried so many changes to the code and CSS to get it to reproduce the same effect as that tutorial, but with no success.

Possibly all the comments before the doctype. If there is anything before the doctype, even a single space, IE goes into quirks mode. Remove all that stuff and see what happens.

Trying to make some images disappear on hover (works), and others appear on hover (works not). In tested browsers, this gives the expected result: IMG.disappear {visibility: visible} IMG.disappear:hover {visibility: hidden} this does not: IMG.appear {visibility: hidden} IMG.appear:hover {visibility: visible}

I have some paragraphs on a page that I'd like have change color when the mouse is hovering over them. This declaration works great in Firefox and Safari, but doesn't do anything in IE. p:hover.review { color: #FFCC00; padding: 0px;

I'm having a problem at www.idea-greenhouse.com/s.html In Firefox, all's well. In IE6, the images don't always change when I hover over a link. It seems I have to hover over the border of the link (as when I move over the link very slowly) for the image to change. Indeed, to get this far I've had to make borders that exactly match the background so they're not apparent. Remove the borders altogether and the hovers don't work at all.

I posted a recent message regarding navigating a table using arrow keys. I've got the code for the navigation working. My table contains rows of links (anchors). I can get to a specific link using the code for capturing a key. However, once I get to the link, I can focus(), for example... but what I really want is to activate the "hover" styles. I can fake the hover effect using javascript, but how do I do this and still allow the...

Hi, My brain's a bit fried on this one. I'm using the li:hover method to display sub menus at http://dev.hyl.co.uk/guide4life/. All works swimmingly in FF, however IE7 loses the hover (and so the sub menu) when you mouse over items further down the sub menu list. This only seems to happen when the sub menu is over the text of a paragraph (try further down the page eg: "Confidentiality" - it works!?)

I want to have a border around an image that changes color when the mouse hovers over it. The following code works perfectly in FireFox but not in Internet Exploiter. The text link changes color but the image link stays the same. Anybody know how I can make it work in IE? I saw a web site where the guy got it to work in both browsers. <html> <head> <title>TEST</title>

I have found other bugs related to using hover is CSS with IE, but I cannot find a fix for my issue. I have checked it in both IE 6 & 7 with the same results. I have built a drop-down menu using CSS and a touch of Javascript, by combining a couple tutorials I found online. The bug is when you mouse-over the menu in IE, the sub-menu pops out, but will disappear when you mouse-over it, but it doesn't happen everytime. Sometimes, it works...

My previous post got squashed because m post is too long. Sorry for that: I have an AJAX page with a CSS menu at the top.

The URL to the page is: http://www.coralap.com/dies281css.aspx Steps to reproduce: 1. Mouse over the top menu and verify the hover works. 2....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
