Hi all,
I have a very strange problem! In following Web page (which is
generated from a CMS System), the navigation to the left 'dissapears'
when you roll the mouse over the links? It does not do this in all
browsers either. I have found it to happen in IE 7 and the latest
patched IE 6. I have tried to find out the reason, but keep finding
strange behaviour! You will see at the bottom of the HTML, I have a
comment. If you follow the comment and comment out the line below it,
the navigation works as expected, if you uncomment the line, it doesn'!
I would be obliged if someone could help me out on this as it's
driving me nuts!
