IE8 Block elements with width/height not detecting a mouseover until text inside is hovered?

There are lots of issues with the traditional mouse events. I highly recommend using JQuery's mouseenter() and mouseleave() events. They travel through the dom to make sure the mouse is definitely in or out of the object in question.

There is even a shorthand for binding events; you can use the convenience method hover() to bind both events to an element at once like this.

I had a similar problem recently where the mouseenter event was working only if you were on top of a link inside the block element. (My issue was with IE 7 however. ) Try adding zoom: 1 to the block element.

#myBlockElement { zoom: 1; } satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html I also agree with the other answer about using .hover() in place of mouseenter and mouseleave, but that alone will probably not solve your problem with IE. I also like to make sure I have a valid DOCTYPE and that my page is fully compliant in the W3C Validator before working on any IE issues.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
