Teresa, I think the problem here is that your anchor tags are empty, and without display:block, there is nowhere to click, and so nowhere for the hover effect to take place.
Note that there is also no page content - if you view the page with CSS turned off the page is completely empty. No headings, no images, no alt text. I suggest that you break up your large background images (the ones you've set as the list backgrounds) into an image for each link, and that you use a javascript rollover - The goal being that without CSS, you should still be able to see the artworks and click on the links. Alternatively, you could use an image in each link that has the text in it but is otherwise transparent, and retain the backgrounds with the artwork (and still use changing background position for the hover effect). Hope this make sense.

I am using CSS to provide a rollover. I am creating the Web site on a Macintosh and using fire Fox as a current browser. I just realized that the Internet Explorer does not "recognize" the rollover technique for this particular site. I was wondering if someone knows why? http:// www.markgroaningstudio.com/ The second question has to do with the positioning of the text and pictures. I am currently using a "percentage" to line up the text and pictures. But several people have noticed that the text overlaps the photo. What is the best way to prevent that? http:// www.markgroaningstudio.com/paintings.html Thank you very much. I appreciate all the support and suggestions in advance., all the best, Teresa ============================================================================== The information contained in this email and any attachment is confidential and may contain legally privileged or copyright material.
