Tedd; I have no idea whether this is related, but I recall reading somewhere recently (can't remember where exactly, sorry) that CSS sometimes has issues if you combine units (eg. pixels, ems, percentages) and keywords (white, smaller, etc) within a rule. Since I can't pinpoint the source of this info at the moment I'm a little hazy on the details, but I would assume that it would only apply to shorthand declarations where more than one thing is being set in a single rule.
Sorry for being so vague, but I've been reading CSS stuff non-stop for weeks and I just can't remember where I read this. Online, offline, it's all a blur! Maybe it's connected. Maybe not. -- Rick Lecoat -- **ORIGINAL MESSAGE** Received from tedd on 9/7/07 at 03:13(London time): >Hi: > >I've been working on another css drop-down menu and encountered a >problem where my menu won't work in IE 6 if I use "white" for >background-color, but will work if I use "#FFFFFF". > >For example: > >background-color: white; /* if used, my menu won't work in IE 6 */ >background-color: #FFFFFF; /* if used, my menu will work in IE 6 */ > >This isn't a real problem because I simply use #FFFFFF to make it >work.
