IE Win: Hover on an element other than (a href...)
How do I get a hover to show up in IE for windows on a non <a> element.
I can get a change in background color on all kinds of stuff in FF/Safari but they’re not visible in IE Win.
Any thoughts?

I’m probably wrong but I don’t believe IE let’s you add hover to non <a> elements, this is meant to be included in IE7 I think

No, you cannot use :hover on elements other than <a> in IE6

You can run javascript to attach a hover class to other elements onmouseover for IE. That way you can do:
<pre>
li:hover, li.hover {
stuff:foo;
}
</pre>
I’d be happy to send you the code if you want. I’ve been using it for a couple years now with no problems.

yes, you can use javascript to sniff out the css declarations and then apply event handlers that would mimic the hover bahavior.
This is one of the ways that the IE7 script library makes up for missing features in win/ie
If you’d like (and don’t mind the overhead) just download that library and link it in the head of your page and you’re set.
(no relation to the IE7 beta release earlier this week.)

Yep IE7 has lofty goals… and mostly works for most people. Hasn’t been updated in a while…
I just get a little skittish about what it does in the background, and I’m never exactly sure what it’s fixing and what it’s not.
In the end I elected to just let certain things (transparent pngs, etc…) gracefully degrade on Windows IE. And use hacks for the box model.

For hover:whatever in IE see <a href=“http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html”>http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html</a> and <a href=“http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns”>http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns</a>.

Jeff,
If you get a chance, can you fix your links: They should conform to forum standards, a link can be made like this:
“put something in quotes” : http://whatever.com here, (minus the spaces before and after the colon)
But thanks for the heads up!
Matthew

Where is there an error in my links? I don’t really use textile, just plain old html. Is that the problem? shrugs
