[RESOLVED] [2005] :hover pseudo-class help

[mrmojorisin]

Hello,
I am new and rubbish with anything ASP so bare with me.
Can you use the ':hover pseudo-class' to change the background colour of an ASP panel when the mouse hovers over it?

e.g

.panel
{
	background-color: Blue;
} 
.panel:hover
{
	background-color: White;
}

I think i have referenced the CSS class in the correct places but the panel stays blue when the mouse hovers over it.

Thanks,
Mojo

the problem is the compatibility. Actually this will work in all modern browsers except Internet Explorer 5 and 6. Give it a try the same style in FF and it will work. Shame i know.

Thats pretty rubbsih that it doesn't work in 6 as i need it to. Thanks for your help though. It does work in FF as you suggested.

Only god knows why the FF and IE staff still refuse to sync the CSS support and make it easier for the developers. Inded, I cannot understand their stupid war while we are bumping and hitting our heads on the wall.

You may want to consider a javascript based solution in the interim if this 'hover' functionality is important to you.

Thanks, i will look into a way of doing this using javascript.
