4.0 Selectable Links seem buggy in IE

[Pooch]

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but I've tried this with both IE6, IE7 and Netscape. Anyway in IE, when you mouseover links, they seem to blink and become temporarily disabled until you move the mouse a little bit. In Netscape, you get a nice shaded highlight bar as you mouseover links...a nice touch of course. Can someone please review this in IE and see if this needs attention?

I'm not seeing this in IE6. Which links are you referring to? All links on the site?

[Pooch]

For instance, in IE6, the 'Categories' link dots (orange) blink once on mouseover, then my windows selector switches from the "finger" to the arrow. You can still click the link, but it's abnormal behavior.

In IE7, I actually get an error. The error reads:

Line: 38
Char: 1
Error: Invalid property value
Code: 0
URL: http://demos.turnkeywebtools.com/ss4/

I can duplicate these issues on 2 computers. Hope that helps.

I see; I actually thought you meant your site. :)

I see what you mean; in IE, the dots are jittery. In Opera, they're not. I would have coded this differently, actually -- I would have made them a list so that they could be styled differently at will, but then I'm one of those people who recodes all kinds of stuff.

As well, in Opera, the page suddenly gets shorter than it was; don't know if it refreshes (like these forum pages do VERY often), but it's odd.

I don’t like this either! Using IE7, I don’t see the dots get jittery but after I roll over a link, the “Error on Page” message continues to display. That can’t be very comfortable to our customers. Even if everything is working fine, it’s going to put off some of our more finicky customers. This needs to be fixed!

Well the problem actually lies with IE...

Because Microsoft thinks they are above following standards things like this occur. We have taken note and we will try to get this fixed though.

If it was up to me everyone would be using Firefox these days... but since that will not happen any time soon we are forced to code specifically for these IE issues.
