Not at all. Maybe whatever can be found to resolve this issue will help others here.

Sorry about the lack of context; I usually try to remember to trim messages when they get pretty long in a thread, which is good for low-bandwidth folks but means context is lost in later messages.

I'm trying to duplicate the menu effects at Eric Meyer's Pure CSS Popups (http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo.html ; mouse over the links in the menu on the left), which work just fine on my machine in IE 6 and Firefox. However, the two pages I have created on the target site do not demonstrate this effect. Firefox does work as expected, but IE does not. To view the effects (in Firefox; nothing will change in IE), go to http://www.earhartrefrig.com/ and click on the "Sales" menu item (which currently links to a Services test page). Mouse over any of the image labels on the left of the page and the Services List appears, with a red background. Do the same in IE and nothing happens other than the expected change in the status bar.

In order to minimize the amount of code to test, I created another, very simple test page, available from the "Contact" menu item at the same site, which contains the minimum amount of code to demonstrate the effect: one div, one anchor, one span containing text, and the relevant CSS. Go there and mouse over the test link and (again, Firefox only) the span text becomes visible. I tried to duplicate Eric's setup as closely as possible, but I must have missed something, because his works and mine doesn't. Perhaps fresh eyes looking at things will see what I cannot. Thanks for taking a look at it.

Cheers,
Scott

I had a look at the page in both IE6 (PC) and Firefox1.  I don't see
any difference.  I haven't been following this thread, just the last post
with whatever original was in that.  If you would like to restate the
"flaw" that I am suppose to be seeing, I will have another look. Offlist, if
you'd prefer.

Thanks so much, Cheryl. I wasn't sure where to look next; I thought
that there must be a CSS list but listserv didn't seem to carry it.
I will definitely check out css-d (and subscribe!), especially since
I have resolved to, wherever possible, adopt a CSS approach to
techniques that I used to accomplish with scripting. This is just so
bloody frustrating, since as far as I can tell I have duplicated
Eric's requirements. BTW, are you observing the same thing--Firefox works on that test
page but IE doesn't?

Cheers,
Scott

Scott,

While it may seem like I know a lot about CSS compared to the people
on the
css-d list I'm a piker. When it comes to the browser bugs I'm not
that strong.

I'd suggest posting the issue over to that list and if there is
someone who
can fix it they will tell you what the issue is.
