David, Aha! I had posted http://checkitlocal.com/sample.htm but I went ahead and fixed all the little validation errors in the html and I switched the doctype to what the site itself uses just to be thorough.
Apparently, the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> does not allow for the hover effect. When I put back in the <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional// EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml " xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">, it works like intended. So it looks like my solution is to recode the site into the second doctype and fix all the errors. I never use anything but that latter doctype, so it didn't occur to me to even look there. Thank you very much (everyone) for all your help. -Delos On May 31, 2009, at 12:50 AM, David Laakso wrote: > I dunno. Your css snippet appears to be valid.
