Hi Guys, This is my first post here so please be gentle lol.

I have an issue where I have a background image wrapped within an A tag and upon hover I want a different image displayed which is a few pixels larger.

This is for an intranet so needs to be IE6 compatible 😮

Help guys.

Cheers

Ran

@tirnaMar 13.2010 — Without seeing the actual code you are using I have to make a couple of assumptions.

I'm assuming the <a> element is wrapped inside some block level element like a div p etc otherwise the bg image will only be as big as the text or contents of the <a> element

Assuming <a> is inside a div with an id="a_container", a styled width and height then try the following styles

[CODE]#a_container {
background-image: url("bg_1.jpg") }

#a_container:hover {
background-image: url("bg_2.jpg") }[/CODE]

@FangMar 13.2010 — The <a> would have to use the :hover. IE6 only supports :hover on this element.

Success!
