115479 - a:focus + IFRAME

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 5693

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[tapio.markula]

I tried to create with dynamic pseudo-classes + IFRAME 
DOM2-styles sub-menus.

(Indeed my used Mozilla 0.9 is 5 month old)

The menu is visible ONLY in the state :hover => it can't be used:

The system works in MS IE, because a:active works like a:focus.

See my basic principles:

Confirmed Fizzilla 0.9.6.

Mousing over the triangles next to "In English" and "HTML-Kit" produce scrolling
listbox elements which cannot be scrolled. Once the mouse leaves the gray
triangles, the menus disappear.

I was not, however, able to get this to work on IE6 Win at ALL. The entire top
menu thingy didn't show up.

And IE5 Mac generated the menus even without the triangles being hovered over.

Reporter, which version of MS IE did you get this to work in?

The url has lots and lots of style sheets it loads.  Which sheet in particular 
has the CSS that's supposed to produce the effect in question?

Found the problem.

something:hover something { style }

requires the outer something to be in :hover when the mouse is over the inner 
something.
