hi folks i'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown and hope someone here can solve this problem. this is my first attempt at css dropdown menus (following instructions in 'more eric meyer on css'). everything's just dandy in mozilla and opera but it doesn't work in IE6. the weird thing is that it _does_ work if i stick the css into the html file.
html file with internal css (which works in IE6): http://jarmin.com/clients/genderwerk/template.html html file with external css file (which doesn't work in IE6): http://jarmin.com/clients/genderwerk/template-extcss.html external css file: http://jarmin.com/clients/genderwerk/css/dropdown.css it gets weirder. there was a similar discussion recently where the advice was to "trigger the hover effect, by first setting a style for the hover on the <a> itself, before IE 'sees' the hover style for the stuff inside of it." i fiddled with that for a while but didn't get anywhere. however, i narrowed the problem down to these two instructions: div#nav li:hover { background: #d4eaae; } div#nav ul.level1 li.submenu:hover ul.level2 { display : block; width : 20em; } if i use the external css file but stick just these two instructions into the html file it works locally on my computer but as soon as i upload it to the remote site it doesn't work anymore. when i noticed that, i gave up because that just doesn't make any sense to me. why would it work locally but not remotely? please help thanks iris ___________________________ omnia mea mecum porto <http://jarmin.com/> <http://manhold.net/> ___________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
