Hi Barney
I'm glad you liked it, I've been at it for a few weeks now. Unfortunately I
keep adding more complex CSS to it that only Firefox, Opera and Safari
understand and I fear the fix for IE6 is going to be a hell of a job! I'll
just have to add more classes and ids for it.
This is an area where I think CSS is quite deficient. The inability to
affect the parent of something like you say. Something like #item <
div:hover {color:red;} would be nice, and I've wanted it before (where <
selects the parent). Unfortunately it seems like you might have to resort to
javascript. You can't just apply :hover to the parent directly?
All the best,
Rafael
