Topic: Any CSS experts?

If you know CSS and are familiar with the myriad quirks of Internet Explorer, I've got a question for you:

Why do the left side buttons not highlight half the time? They render correctly but the highlight area is wrong. The buttons are <a style="display: block;"> so it stands to reason that the full displayed block would be the mousing area. Any idea why IE would foul it up?

IE is just evil...

Didn't really look into it but could it be related to http://murphy.cz/ie7-hover-ghosts-bug/ ?

Forget about IE, use Google Chrome. 5x faster and you don't get pop-ups.

If practice makes perfect, and no ones perfect, why practice?

Yes but tell that to all the nubies out there who think their IE browser is 'the internet'.

My best guess is that the onhover isn't triggering in IE7 because the div with id='main' is in front of it.  The three bottom buttons change just fine.  Try using z-index to fix this.

z-index fixed it. Thanks. Now to deal with IE7's lack of display: table smile
In what sense is it in front of it though? I am curious where in the CSS you get that from

I was just using Firebug and highlighting the two divs when I noticed the conflict.  Floating divs sometimes act weird like that.  The left-floating div fights with the margin of the middle div.  I think because it's a stack/FIFO mentality for displaying objects, the middle block was "on top".
