[thelist] help, please, a:hover visibility problem in IE5.5 win

[Natalya Hucek]

Sorry to bug you about this one -- but I am spending another night 
looking for a solution/error/bug (?)

Here is the problem: the rollover effect image disappears on rollover) 
, while working on Mac incl. Safari, does not work on my IE 5.5 win.  
The image stays where it is no matter what I do to the code :(

here is the URL

here is the CSS bit

==================

#quotation
	{position: relative; top: 50px;padding: 0px;  width:680px; color: 
#CCCCCC; margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto; text-align:justify; 
font-style: italic}

#quotation img
{position: absolute; width: 370px; height: 100px;
left: 50%; margin-left: -185px; top: 30px; border: 0;padding: 0;}

#quotation span {display: block; text-align:right; font-style: normal}

#quotation a
	{text-decoration: none; color: #CCCCCC}

#quotation a:hover
	{text-decoration: none; color: #666666;}
#quotation a:hover img {visibility:hidden}

==================

and one more thing -- anybody heard of the solution for the 
first-letter inside a link in div?

same CSS bit with this:

#quotation:first-letter
	{float:left;
	font-size:400%; font-style: normal; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 
3px;}

I switched it of for now -- can' make it work properly across 
platforms....

Thank you for your time -- in advance,

Natalya the amateur
