The problem has not been the javascript but how IE interprets the space 
within the div.

If I have a mouseover on the div, IE will fire when I hit the border or 
when it encounter an element within the div whereas Firefox will fire 
anywhere within the div.

To cater for IE I added padding around the element until it occupied all 
of the space within the div. This worked in IE6 but not IE7.

In the end I just placed an 80 x 80 transparent gif into my 80 x 80 div 
and it works fine.

What I'd like to do now is just have the base image inside a div and 
manage all the behaviours within the dom as none of the absolutely 
positioned divs make any sense semantically anyway.

Kind Regards
