You can't have a html tag inside an anchor tag. So that'll break as well. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

This is a great article about the hover function on elements other that 'a'

Hopefully MS will correct this in the new IE7 version, so we don't need to load extra pieces of code in the future,.

after testing some more, the code for the .itemBody worked only if NO news topics displayed and if the news article had NO links in it, otherwise it went crazy. In conclusion it's almost useless.

Thank you Incama for the information ; I'm not so fond of javascripts but I think that will be the solution until a more intelligent IE comes out.

Herko, well I was trying to find a work around to do a :hover effect on the .itemOuter of news, but I was just messing up things doing a dirty way of making the .itemBody be a link and simulate the effect. And yes, I couldn't leave that anchor hanging outside like that.

The CSS was working ok though and maybe just maybe , it occurs to me it can be used in the forum, working out the templates a bit with something like this:

.forumTopic.even a {
color: #555;
display:block;
text-decoration:underline;
font-weight: normal;
}

.forumTopic.even a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #993399;
text-decoration: none;
}

the display:block; will make the whole cell light up when mouse over a link and works on both Firefox and IE.

I help you hoping Snow,.Adding hover pseudo's on all div's and classes will open a whole new world. There is another solution which involves a small dhtml script,.I just have to find it somewhere,.I'm sure it's on my pc.,.mmm,.,.but where,.

to be continued!

gosh, after turning around all morning trying to make the .htc work ,,,and I finally never did.

The answer was always before my eyes, if you look at the Zeta theme it uses an IE fix and makes things behave like in Firefox.

Everything is working perfect now .

Thanks Incama for guiding me, check out the IE fix, you will like it.
