    Hi Everyone

    I'm finishing up a site for my university's EWB chapter, and I've run into a strange issue in explorer.

    I'm using a basic unordered list for navigation, but the hover effect does not appear in ie 6. What's strange is that only the first element is affected, and there are no special id or classes associated with it.

    Here's the url: http://sfu.ewb.ca/

    the same issue affects the year heading on the news archives:
    http://sfu.ewb.ca/?s=news

    Thanks for any tips

    The only thing that occured to me is that the order of your CSS seems a bit random. Perhaps there is a cascade issue? Strange that only the initial "About Us" link seems to be affected.

    Good luck!

    rule # 1 for me when it comes to issues with IE6 and CSS.

    position:relative;

    That seems to fix most issues.

    in any case... Not sure what is causing the problem, but adding the code above here:


    .nav ul li a:hover, .nav a:hover{
    background-color: #000;
    position: relative;
    }


    seems to fix the issue.

    hey, thanks. That worked like a charm!

    I still wonder why it works though...

    Thanks again : ]
