584138 2007-08-23 21:25:00 I'm trying to use CSS so that when I mouseover some text it changes colour. What I have basically works, except that if I hover the mouse in certain positions over the text, it alternates rapidly between the two states. If I move the mouse fractionally, the flashing stops and it settles into the "over" state.

I have no idea what is happening.

Any ideas, anyone? 		Tony (4941)

584143 2007-08-23 21:56:00 Remove the 'font-size: 15px;' in the a:hover

Don't ask me to explain why though :p 		mejobloggs (264)
584144 2007-08-23 22:08:00 A bit off topic, but its probably a good idea to change your doctype (alistapart.com) to 'strict', previously discussed here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). Greg (193)
584145 2007-08-24 01:13:00 Remove the 'font-size: 15px;' in the a:hover

Don't ask me to explain why though :pThat worked - thanks! Did you find that by experiment, or know already? 		Tony (4941)
584146 2007-08-24 01:16:00 A bit off topic, but its probably a good idea to change your doctype (alistapart.com) to 'strict', previously discussed here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz).Those are a couple of very useful links. What I posted is as generated by Golive9 (plus my link additions), so being an HTML newbie, I assumed it was OK. I think GL is becoming an Adobe orphan product - they certainly seem to be pushing Dreamweaver much more heavily. Tony (4941)
