But some thoughts for you to consider: You're not confusing ID selectors (e.g. #Menu and ID='Menu') with class selectors (e.g. .Menu and class='Menu') are you? Also, #Menu>A:link is more restrictive than #Menu A:link as the latter means you can put something else between the #Menu'ed tag and the A tag. No, I'm not confusing ID selectors with class selectors. I first tried it with only ID selectors like <div id="Menu"> in my HTML, and #Menu>a:link in my CSS. In that particular instance, my pretty menu box that showed up with white links on an orange background in Mozilla was a completely orange box in IE. What I did to fix it was add class="menu" attributes to all of the <a> tags in the HTML, and duplicate the "a" definitions in the CSS to be a.menu as well as #Menu>a. I can't say as I truly understand why that works, but it does. IE is borked. -YendorMike What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about? - Jimmy Buffett, June 20, 2002, Tinley Park

Change the #Menu>A:... selectors to .Menu A:... and remove the class= from the <A> tags. You should also be able to then remove the a.menu selectors. In my reading, the W3C standard is a little unclear about how style elements cascade from ID selectors whereas class selectors are better defined in that regard. Then too, I haven't played much with ID selectors. :-) Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."

(It does.) Kudos! -YendorMike What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about? - Jimmy Buffett, June 20, 2002, Tinley Park
