Using a.hover in HTMLViewer

General
1

I’ve got a CSS definition for a:hover for my HTMLViewer control, but it doesn’t seem to get triggered on hover.

I’m using Windows 8 with the native HTML viewer.

Does anybody know if the native Windows HTMLViewer doesn’t provide this functionality?!

Thank you!

If it doesn’t work with WebKit then it’s almost certainly your HTML/CSS

Yeah, I just tried a small test and it worked fine. Time to strip some code to bare essentials, because I can’t see where I’m going wrong!

It was probably some obscure issue with having a

inside an . I moved the style definition of the div into the definition, and now it works fine.

So, I essentially went from this:

<a...><div>ABC</div></a>

to this:

<a...>ABC</a>

and it works fine now. Maybe a CSS guru can explain?

The page I linked to explains that IE only supports styling for . Chances are the div consumed the style.
