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.

Scott, you missed the initial declaration of the a:hover state. Look
at Meyer's code again. He's got a declaration called div#testDiv a:hover
as well as one called div#testDiv a:hover span. You don't. Add that
to your test page and the problem is solved.
No idea what the bug is in IE that necessitates this but it seems you
have to declare the hover state before you change it.

Wow! Drew, thanks for spotting that! I would have looked at that CSS until
there's peace in the Middle East and never spotted that, or rather, realized
that that was what was causing the problem. I tried it out and, sure enough,
problem solved. I suppose IE handles CSS selectors differently (grrrrr),
requiring compound selectors to be "built up" as in this case. Something to
add to my "IE CSS quirks" list, which is growing regrettably long.
Thanks again! Now I can move forward with the site design without having to
resort to scripting. I still need to go back and implement my menu bar with
CSS instead of event-driven rollovers, but that's a piece of cake compared
to this.
Cheers,
Scott
