  		replacing CSS hover image for browser compability - 4/28/2007 8:35:42   
Hello fellow webmasters!

I am doing a webpage i gave to my mother in christmas present and i have some probs with it o.o

On the index page i used a table to make some parts of a bigger image change on a hover (the bigger image is divided in smaller inside of table cells)

to make the images inside the cells change i used the pseudo class in CSS :hover .

However to my great dissapointment the :hover didnt work in IE :)

So i tried a javascript instead and it worked quite good.. the only prob is that the images inside the cells now have space between them that i do not know how to remove :(

Can anyone help me with this? Got a better solution?:)

Helps if we can see the code/a link to the site so we can see exactly what the problem is. :)

OK, IE only allows hover on links, whereas the other browser allow you to apply it to all elements. There are various fixes for this around the web.

http://lawrence.ecorp.net/inet/samples/css-ie-hover.shtml

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

and loads more. Take the javascript out and use one of those.

Oh and your code has a whole pile of 1 pixel spacer gifs

If it's just for a link then use a:active after a:hover - that'll sort out IE. If it's for a non-link then you'll need another solution, have a Google for whatever:hover.

hehe i know this thread is quite old, but i still havent made any progress..

The solution in the first link Jaybee offered didnt make any difference :/, and the second i just dont understand because i dunno about javascript and .htc files.

Also the thing im trying to do here Tailside is an image link that switches image on hover, not just a normal link.

edit: Hmmm.. in this link: http://lawrence.ecorp.net/inet/samples/css-ie-hover.shtml

should you replace expression with something?

what could that be?

Ok - here's a working example of a pure CSS image replacement rollover: http://www.littleblueplane.com/test/hovertest.html

I've made the image to the same size as your div in the hope that it'll make it easier to use. Instead of two images you've got one image made up of the two images, one on top of the other. This is to help avoid any flickering which you can get in IE with two image rollovers.

Now the issue here isn't getting it to work with CSS - cos that's not hard. The issue is to get it to work well.

By well I mean that it should work with images switched off, work with CSS switched off (in both cases you get the straight link) and work with keyboard navigation AND work cross-browser.

So what that means is that you end up turning a simple bit of CSS (using a background image) into a pretty complex bit of CSS. It's actually an astonishingly long bit of CSS - but it works reasonably well.
