is there's a way to make the "display" property work for IE 6?

[bernadette]

for pop up menus
I'm trying to avoid java
so i used pure css with divs only

div.menu div.list {display:none;}
div.menu:hover div.list { display:block;
background-color:#666666;}



Is there's a hack makes it work?

Thanks

IE6 and below only allow :hover to work on <a> so you'll need JavaScript (don't confuse it with Java as they're completely different).

Without having seen your code or what this is going to be used for, you could potentially apply this to a link and get around it that way in IE6 although you'll need to consider potential problems with accessibility as well as making sure that search engines can spider these links.

I use a code like the one here :

if i assumed using (csshover.htc)
would the IE read the "display" property ?

google on son of suckerfish. That is widely used and works.

Actually in this case I'd use a .htc file instead of Suckerfish.

whatever:hover
Suckerfish :hover

From http://surguy.net/menu/highlightCurrent.js Someone is a bit confused:

// Setting class is needed for Mozilla compatibility - className appears to be correct
// according to the DOM spec
links[i].setAttribute("class", "current");
links[i].setAttribute("className", "current");
