[css-d] Trouble debugging :hover in IE7
Hi all, New to this forum... please correct my mistakes vehemently. I'm working on a two-tier horizontal css menu using nested ul elements. In Firefox and Opera everything works great -- current submenu displays by default, hovering over an element in the supermenu displays the appropriate submenu instead, which I can then click on. IE 6 and less don't do anything on hover (which is fine by me). IE7 seems to be displaying the correct submenu when I hover over an element, but when I mouse down to the submenu, I lose the submenu. The demo page is at: http://www.edison-albright.com/index.2menu.html CSS: http://www.edison-albright.com/2menu.css If no one has any thoughts on it, I'd be happy to just disable :hover on non a elements in IE7, but I can't seem to manage that -- I was under the impression that changing DOCTYPE from strict to something else would do so, but I guess I was mistaken. Any help would be appreciated.
