Re: [WSG] Images as DIV Background with and without link (w3c friendly)

Hi Martin, thanks for your reply...   You can't use the :hover pseudo class on any element other than an anchor in IE unfortunately. I don't have time to look too far, but with a brief search I found this link that mentions it: http://4umi.com/web/css/hover.htm   They say it will be fixed in the IE7 blog, but I'm still developing back to version 5! http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/07/29/445242.aspx   I've seen a _javascript_ solution, but again that would cause Accessibility issues. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution to this??!   ----- Original Message ----- From: Martin Heiden To: Paul Collins Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 4:07 PM Subject: Re: [WSG] Images as DIV Background with and without link (w3c friendly) Paul, on Wednesday, January 4, 2006 at 15:48 wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wrote: > I thought the Gilder/Levin/Shea Enhancement Method was best, but > you can't have a hover state on a graphic link using this. > Example HTML would be: > <a id="header" title="Revised Image Replacement" > href=""><span></span>Revised Image Replacement</a> Why? a#header:hover span {   background: url(another url) no-repeat (or shift); } should work. regards   Martin   ****************************************************** The discussion list for  http://webstandardsgroup.org/  See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm  for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
