IE6 anchor links

[dexeloper]

I'm trying to get a set of anchor links working in IE6 without using a table.
All's fine in Firefox but in IE6 the hover changes just don't seem to apply.
I've read about IE's 'hasLayout' feature and an onload function shows that this is set for the three levels.

and see what you think.
Many thanks.

Hi

I would try to add some [tt]href[/tt] attributes :

[b]<li><a[/b] [highlight][maroon]href[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]""[/i][/green][/highlight] [maroon]onclick[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]'getPage()'[/i][/green] [maroon]title[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]'Configure Labels'[/i][/green] [maroon]class[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]'menuoptn'[/i][/green][b]>[/b]Configure Labels[b]</a></li>[/b]

Feherke.

Many many thanks. Dear dear dear.

feherke is correct. IE6 will only recognize pseudo classes if anchor is a link (i.e. has a href attribute) and not just any anchor element.

Also, you might want to rethink your design, as it is not smart to have links in your page that [!]require[/!] javascript to work.

It's part of a heavy Ajax based application system. No javascript no system.

Another old IE gotcha, I don't remember which version, was that a [tt]a.someclass:hover[/tt] rule wouldn't do anything unless there was a plain [tt]a:hover[/tt] rule for the page (even if it didn't apply to anything).
