here is my css for the bottom set of pop up navigation links on my site.

#blinks{height:0px;left:0px;position:absolute;top:299px;visibility:visible;width:180px}

#blinks a{display:block;margin:0 0 0px;padding:5px 10px;text-align:left}

#blinks a:hover{z-index:205}

#blinks a:hover span{background:rgb(0,0,0);border:rgb(128,128,128) 1px;border-style:solid;color:rgb(128,128,128);display:block;left:209px;padding:10px 5px 10px 5px;position:absolute;text-align:center;top:55px;width:300px}

On my index page I have two areas that use popups, on other pages I have three. Two on left and one on the right sides.

Hi Georg

It does have a background! These are the styles for the text popup:

div#content  li a span {
display: none;
}

div#content li a:hover span {
display: block;
position: relative;
top:
-250px;
left: 10px;
width: 60%;
padding: 10px;margin: 10px;  z-index:
100;
background: #fff;
border: medium dotted #963;
font-weight:
normal;
color: #333;
}



(based on the Meyer one but with a few additions/changes. For example, his
used absolute positioning, but I wanted to use relative.)

Any other thoughts? Anyone? It's really annoying coz I know it must be
something I've done in my stylesheet, as his one works!

The link to the stylesheet is

I'm assuming that something is conflicting from the rest of my
stylesheet, but I can't work out what. If anyone had any clues, I'd
be very happy <grin>

Add a background to the link on :hover, and it will work in IE/win.
This will do...

div#content  li a:hover {background: #edb;}

...or use a background color that's closer to, but /not/ identical with
the existing a:link/a:visited background color.

The reason is that IE needs for something *to change* on that link-cell
itself on :hover in order to repaint it and open up for the span.
