Thanks for the clarification. That was the reason why I exposed my thoughts
after uploading.
So, let's see if I get this, when we have:
#mainMenu
{
height:60px;
}
#mainMenu a
{
zoom:1;
}
I'm not declaring any height to the anchor: mainMenu a . So, option 1) is
out.
I'm not even telling the mainMenu anchor to grab 100% of the parent (the
60px). So option 2) is out.
When I give layout to mainMenu a, and mainMenu a has a background image, we
are on condition 3) pointed above. Is this correct?

:s, I miss the point here. Even on the cases where hover isn't properly
supported, it still is a layout issue no?

The path is correct I believe, since the path on my css is relative to the
images directory and not to the documents root directory.
Are you unable to see the background images on hover?
Thanks in advance,
