quick hover question

[Irishjugg]

quick question:
with an
li:hover {} stlye if I have a background image for the li base style can I change the background image with hover?

I havent been able to see that yet, so do I need to be using javascript with onMouseOver?

You can achieve this in FF, but IE does not support the ":hover" pseudo class with the exception of anchors (a href).

I suppose if you really wanted a background image rollover within your "li", then you could make it a link, specify the rollover image, make the destination "#", and specify the cursor as "default" or "arrow".

This way most people wouldn't really realize that it was technically a link, but that's just kind of messy if you ask me. I don't fully understand why Microsoft decided not to jump on the bandwagon regarding the ":hover" pseudo class, but I guess when you have that much money lining your pockets, why worry about keeping up with the other guys?

Hope this helped.

Thanks, Im only worrying about FF functionality right now as im in the inital stages. I think I had just forgotten to upload the new css sheet, the hover effect started to work just fine.

As far as IE there is a hover hack fix that I found that does a javascript replace.
