Electric Dreams
So, anyone out there a whiz at CSS? After wrestling with the website code for a few days, I’m throwing up my hands. Just a couple days ago, I learned that everything looked kinda screwy in Internet Explorer 6. (You guys are really polite, by the way.) I’ve managed to get things looking pretty good across the most popular browsers, and added hovering orange borders on clickable images, but IE 6 is still acting quirky. More details after the jump, but be warned, you’re entering nerd territory. No entertainment value whatsoever! Can anyone help? Does anyone remember laughter? I gotta get this figured out so I can go back to eating candy and watching cartoons all day long. And by “candy” I mean cocaine, and by “cartoons” I mean strippers, but I was trying to be classy.
UPDATED! Special thanks to Steven Gettis for rolling up his sleeves and getting dirty with the code. He was in fact able to find a small workaround for the issue, but in the end, I decided to go in a different direction. Thanks, Steven! If you get the chance, check out his website, which features his personal collection of drawings of literary authors and characters. It’s a lot of fun seeing the different interpretations and choices for subjects. I’m on board to do one, but I have to read something that’s not a comic book first.

Well, “Crime Bible” from Greg Rucka should be out in a few months. That should take the sting out of it, right it? :)

I’m not sure why you’ve put it in there, but if you remove the “BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; ” from the “A:hover” and add “background: #000;” to the “A” class before it then it doesn’t seem to do the bounce anymore.

Thanks for taking a look, Colin. I wasn’t able to find the line you mentioned, but here is what I have in the stylesheet right now:
a{background-color:inherit; color:#0092C8; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;}
a:hover{color:#FF7F50; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; background:transparent;}
img{border: 3px solid #000000;}
a:hover img{border: 3px solid #FF7F50;}
If I take out the “background:transparent” from a:hover, the image hover doesn’t trigger in my copy of IE6. I get a sporadic broken orange border around the image. Any thoughts?

Excellent, glad to see someone managed to help you out. I lost the link to your site shortly after posting above and only found it again today, so sorry about vanishing so soon after attempting an assist.
