NS still refuses to display the css properly. The only thing NS seems to understand are the spefifications for the a tag, the rest of the css is basically a bunch of classes and is ignored by NS. This leads me to believe that i'm defining my classes in a wrong way... Here is my stylesheet (definded in the ), first impressions ?

I've put a mouseover event on a TD to keep the target layer visible after it has dropped down, - triggered by the link positioned in the div just above it ("visible" links) - If i were to put the mouseover event in the a tag, the target layer would dissapear when i mouse out the trigger layer. liike so : - this is the trigger, it toggles visibility for the target layer - visibility -if i move my mouse to the target layer, the target layer displays itself - - this is the target layer - link 1 a big thanx ! , jelle "don'twannabeaDHTMLnewbienomore" Desramaults ----- Original Message ----- From: nate koechley To: Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 11:05 AM Subject: Re: [thelist] cross browser dhtml help wanted > hey jelle, > > actually, i'm not sure it's working perfectly in IE afterall.
