CSS workaround: IE7 doesn’t show white background-color on hover
CSS workaround: IE7 doesn’t show white background-color on hoverI just created a new joomla design for a customer and nearly went mad: Hovering over a navigation link, the background of the link should change to white colour (the main background is light blue ), means #ffffff. Every browser - even the IE 6! - did what I wanted them to do BUT one browser was against me and css-standards. Guess who...
Yes. IE 7 didn't show the white background-colour while hovering over the link. The strange thing was that all the other effects (text-colour change etc.) were fine, even in IE 7. It was only the background-color which the IE 7 didn't like. Googling around, trying this and that I couldn't figure out the error. When I nearly decided to change the css-layout to get rid of the background-issue I finally kind of solved it: Instead of #ffffff I put in #fffffe and it worked for me.
UPDATE: It seems I'm not the only one struggling with this issue (german post).
