Hover Not Working

[jelly46]

Hello to all

Please can you help me with this css as my hover links {text-decoration: underline;} are not working.

Its used within a CMS and for the life of me the hover buttons are not working .

Here is the URL http://www.thepcrepairers.com/left_nav/

It works differently in IE if you click on link it will undrline after use.

Here is the CSS:

Thanks guys

You need the element that is to display an underline to be the one accessed by CSS that defines an underline when that element is hovered over. In this case, since you have parent elements that are not the anchor tag, the underline will not be displayed.

This should work:

.snv-sibling-inner:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

Just add that to your CSS code and it should display the links with underlines when it is hovered over.

Thanks man it works but not in IE

[JShor]

You have a lot of children generations within the link container, and it's causing problems for browsers to generate. Is it possible you can revise your code so it's not as bulky?

Here's a suggestion: what if you try setting every single parent node in those links to have text-decoration: none in their hover state?

That might fix the problem.
