Hoverbox weirdness in ie6 only

and only in home page not identical pages

[terryp]

Hi,

I'm using hoverbox on multiple pages at a website. I templated my index page, created my other pages with it and even used the same jpgs as place holders on my other pages. Everything works fine in FF, ie7, and even in ie6 with the exception of the home page (index) in ie6! The thumbs are in place, just not functioning. In all the other pages, with identical code and jpgs, hoverbox is working just fine. I used fixes I found here. They worked great but now...

I don't get it. Can someone help?

Thanks

Terry

Since you have a page where it works as expected and one where it doesn't, the exercise isn;t all that difficult:

• make a copy of the one that does not work
  
• remove bit by bit from the page that's not in the other page
  
• if the problem disappears:
  - you might have found the something that's part of the problem. t
  - try adding this to a copy of the one that does work, if the problem comes along: bingo!, if it doesn't, keep it in the new copy, go back to the old copy and continue finding the rest of the stuff you need to recreate the problem.

• Once you have the problem now added to the page that did work, take as much out as possible of that page so it doesn't remove the problem

Odds are you now understand the problem far better and can solve it, if not (and if the code you have is free of copyright issues), you could post such minimize and anonymised code here.

Hey thanks,

I played around and got it to work by removing the media types altogether from the hb css, type="text/css" media="screen, projection", and the hoverbox now renders fine on the index page in all the above mentioned browsers. What confuses me is that the other pages render fine with the media types left in. I really don't need projection, but that was in the example I copied.

I'm new to this and still learning. Thanks for the lesson. And kudos to all you people at this forum who come here to share your sagacity.
