Hi Joel,
Thank you so much for your css suggestion and for explaining your
choice of a class vs. an id.
Unfortunately the css suggestion did not correct the issue. I updated
the css with the following code:
#nav li:hover, #nav li.sfHover,
#nav li:hover a, #nav li:sfHover a,
#nav a:hover, #nav li a:hover,
#nav a:focus, #nav a:active {
color:#51749F;
background:#ffffff;
text-decoration:line-through;
}
I added the text-decoration:line-through code as a test to see what IE
and Firefox pick up. What is interesting is that IE6 picks up the
line-through but not the color, and I don't think Firefox sees this
chunk of code at all.
I also tried moving the order of things around, thinking maybe
something was overwriting it somewhere, but that did not make a
difference. I'm afraid IE6 just may not work the way I want it to...
The updated code is online at http://home.comcast.net/~mtrinen/test/test.html
if you have time to take another look at it.
Thank you so much for all of the help you have already given, I would
appreciate any advice you may be able to offer!
cheers,
carleigh
