    Proper way to do hovers?

    Hi,

    I have this table cell

    <td class="contextM enu"</td>

    and then this definition in my stylesheet

    ..contextMenu {
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
    background-image:url('../images/menu_arrow.JPG' );
    cursor: pointer;
    }

    ..contextMenu:h over {
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
    background-image:url('../images/menu_arrow_hove r.JPG');
    cursor: pointer;
    }

    But, as you can probably guess, on PC Firefox, when I move my cursor
    over the table cell, the background graphic does not change. What's
    hte proper way to make the background image appear? I have verified
    the path is correct.

    Thanks, - Dave

      You're probably not using the strict doctype. As François discovered the
      other day, :hover doesn't work in Firefox quirks mode.

      Put this at the top of each HTML file, first thing:

      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">

              Yes I got that wrong, I meant text/plain, but realized my mistake too
              late.

              I was using the name "François" as an excuse to test UTF-8 posting.

                  OK, as long as it's not some weird client setting :)

                  (BTW: I saw 2 content-type headers, this one was followed by Content-Type:
                  text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1, so regardless all bets about what it was
                  going to do anywhere were off.. Weird opera remembered the text/html but
                  seems to have obeyed the iso-8859-1)

                      Thanks for the info! Looks like my newsreader/writer was putting the
                      ISO-8859-1 in for itself, which is its default. This is why I am
                      conducting such tests.

                      I shall now go and RTFM like I should have done in the first place...

                          After doing so, keep in mind the group news.software.r eaders. Small and
                          manageable and contians slrn gurus (and the author). See you there if
                          you pick it up. (To others: it's not specific to slrn, though.)
