CSS :hover in IE

[Loopy]

I'm currently doing a site that requires div background changes upon rollover. It looks great in Firefox, unfortunatly this is one of those things that doesn't work in IE. :rolleyes:

I was wondering if anyone knew of a work around for this? I'm doing some research on the web but haven't found anything yet.

Thanks,
Loop.

in IE6 you can only use :hover on anchor elements - IE7 you can hover on any element

Have a look at http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html - it involves usin behaviours

Thanks, Is it possible to link divs?

Link divs?

[Loopy]

yeah to another page. I have 3 small divs on the left side of the page. Each div has a thumb and some text. When rolledover the bg turns grey. (well in firefox anyways). But in IE it does nothing. So if the over will work for a link... could I link the div? To get the rollover?

I'm kind of a css newbie :p

I downloaded ie7, the div hover still do not work. I had to uninstall it because it screwed up my computer! And I could no longer connect to my FTP :mad:

Why use divs when you have perfecetly capable anchor tags?

[Loopy]

I guess I'm a little confused on what anchor tags can do. I was under the impression that they are just for text links.

[JPnyc]

No, you can put an anchor tag around an image too, and make the image a link.

[Loopy]

I knew that, I guess I wasn't really thinking it could be used as the same thing.
