IE 6.0 links don't hover properly.

[UncleBudd]

In Internet Explorer 6.0 I am having trouble with links that have been reduced
in size. They don't respond to CSS style declarations for hovering. The style
is defined to underline and change color of links when hovering, but I can't
get this to happen. I have tried increased line spacing and it doesn't make
any difference. I do not have this problem in NN 7 or Firefox.

I don't have IE 5.5 anymore. Microsoft kindly deleted it without asking when
I installed 6.0.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Show me your CSS, please. Or just make sure that your pseudo-classes are
defined in this order -

link-visited-hover-active

My CSS is:

.tinyLink {
/* A small light gray page link, hovers in white. */
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 8px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: 9px;
font-weight: 500;
font-variant: normal;
color: #CCCCCC;
text-decoration: none;
letter-spacing: .12em;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
cursor: pointer;
}
a:hover.tinyLink {color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}

My HTML is:

<a onClick="showChart('index_chemicals_sch1.html')" class="tinyLink"
title="CWC Schedule One Chemicals">Schedule One Chemicals</a>

Unfortunately the Web site isn't available right now. It will be available in
a couple of hours.

Thanks for your interest,

Michael (UncleBudd)

a:hover.tinyLink {color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}

This should be this -

a.tinyLink:hover {color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}

I really appreciate your attention, but unfortunately I made the suggested
change and it didn't work. What is really confusing is that this link does
work in both Firefox and IE,

.creditTextLink {
/* A small blue link. */
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
font-style: normal;
line-height: 9pt;
font-weight: 700;
font-variant: normal;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
a.creditTextLink:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

What is it that is not working for you and in which browser?

It works fine in Firefox and NN 7.0, but in IE 6.0 the hover styles don't come
up. No underline or chage to white. The pointer comes up and the link works.
I tried moving the "cursor:pointer;" to the hover portion of the style
declarations, but that only made the pointer stop coming up along with the
other styles declared for hovering.

You have the advantage of being able to see the whole page. Can you post
that link, please?
