That's it. Thanks, sort of. I put this project down for a few months, and was just getting back to it today. Originally, I didn't have the <span>. I just had an empty <a> with a background image. But since it was empty, IE doesn't acknowledge the height. I had put an empty <img> in it (ie. without a src) because images get to have height and width. But then I get IE's ugly "broken image" picture, so that was no good. So then I tried <span> since it can go inside <a> but it brings us right back to the empty link issue that I had forgotten about in the months since I put it down. If I put in then I have to hover over the space for the :hover to take effect. But once it does, I can hover anywhere in the defined dimensions of the link without the regular style taking back over. So I now have a new question: how can I give an empty link height in IE? Since the height property in the css isn't working. The whole point of this is to have the previous/next images be styleable via the stylesheet, instead of hardcoded in the javascript, which is why I want the background images instead of actual images.
