mouse over not working with IE

I have a sidebar menu on the left side of all pages except for index page (link below). The mouseover layer changes the color of the text. Works fine in the Xara preview, Firefox, and Safari, but IE will not display it (occaisionally it will briefly flash the color change). I have tried everything I can think of including converting text to bitmap, increasing spacing between lines and other acts of desperation. Never had this problem with any other sites. Tried to find this in an existing thread but no luck. Thanks in advance.

I moved this to the Web Design chat.

I have no idea what is happening. Perhaps one of the more savvy members can examine your page source code for clues.

The only thing I can suggest, and I suggest this for everything, kind of like take an asprin, is select your navigation bar and bring it to the font (Ctrl f).

Thanks gwpriester. Here is a simple new xar file with mouseover text. Still does not work with IE but works with other browsers. I have several other sites up with similar mouseovers and no problems w/IE. Can't seem to find anything that would be causing it. Running out of aspirin...:confused:

Gary P has done a very good tutorial on buttons here

It looks like you have only soft grouped the text and not hard grouped the text with the backgrounds

Drwyd - No link to the tutorial. Just underlined text.

You need to have text on both the mouse off and mouse over buttons. Each button state should be grouped and both button states should be soft grouped.

Cheers Gary :thx link added :)
