Please have a look at the following page:

http://www.timokleemann.com/index.php?page=photos

Can you see the photo gallery I made? I made it entirely in CSS without any
JavaScript  :D  and it works very well in most browsers.

BUT... it seems it doesn't work in Internet Explorer... :(

Why!!??? I have spent hours today trying to fix this, but NOTHING!



In the HTML each photo looks like this:

<div class="photo">
<a href="index.php?page=photo"><div id="thumb1"></div></a>
</div>

and so on...



The CSS looks like this (watch out, it's a long one!):

/********************* PHOTOS *********************/

.photo {
background: url(../images/drop_shadow.jpg) no-repeat;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
padding: 10px;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
float: left;
}

a:link #thumb1,
a:link #thumb2,
a:link #thumb3,
a:link #thumb4,
a:link #thumb5,
a:link #thumb6 {
position: absolute;
z-index: 98;
height: 80px;
width: 80px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

a:hover #thumb1,
a:hover #thumb2,
a:hover #thumb3,
a:hover #thumb4,
a:hover #thumb5,
a:hover #thumb6 {
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
padding: 5px;
background: center no-repeat white;
border: 2px solid #f1f1f1;
}

a:link #thumb1 {
background-image: url(../images/thmb_alstervilla.jpg);
}
a:hover #thumb1 {
background-image: url(../images/img_alstervilla.jpg);
height: 390px;
width: 300px;
}

a:link #thumb2 {
background-image: url(../images/thmb_beach.jpg);
}
a:hover #thumb2 {
background-image: url(../images/img_beach.jpg);
height: 300px;
width: 390px;
}

a:link #thumb3 {
background-image: url(../images/thmb_library.jpg);
}
a:hover #thumb3 {
background-image: url(../images/img_library.jpg);
height: 390px;
width: 300px;
}

a:link #thumb4 {
background-image: url(../images/thmb_cambridge.jpg);
}
a:hover #thumb4 {
background-image: url(../images/img_cambridge.jpg);
height: 390px;
width: 300px;
}

a:link #thumb5 {
background-image: url(../images/thmb_graduation.jpg);
}
a:hover #thumb5 {
background-image: url(../images/img_graduation.jpg);
height: 300px;
width: 390px;
}

a:link #thumb6 {
background-image: url(../images/thmb_facade.jpg);
}
a:hover #thumb6 {
background-image: url(../images/img_facade.jpg);
height: 390px;
width: 300px;
}

I really need some help here!!!

The first link works fine for me, the photos behave like any normal rollover
.

I'm not sure if you pre-load the images for modem users and suchlike, but it
works fine for me and I'm using IE6 on XP Home.

Just to update, I noticed that the css has some images sized as thus...

height: 390px;
width: 300px;

But your rollover uses a neat little 100 by 100 pixel, but I'm not sure if
you've neglected to resize some of the thumbnails there.

You have no 390 by 300 image on that homepage so may need to look at this,
even if the page works, which it certainly does for me.

You're going around it kind of backwards - it can be a lot simpler. This
is a basic example. You can pretty it up by using your shadow
backgrounds on the DIV:

Wow, Al Sparber- PVII, I love that link you made there for me! Thanks so muc
h!
I think you found a solution for me there. Please leave the link on the serv
er
for a few more days. I do all my work on a Mac, where the site works fine on
all browsers. I won't have access to IE6 before tomorrow evening. Then I'll
implement your idea.

If you want to know exactly what I'm aiming for, check out my site in Firefo
x
or Safari where it works perfectly fine:

Those folders stay up at least a few weeks before rotating out - so it
should be no problem. I did look in Firefox and Opera first - and it is
a very nice technique - time consuming, but nice :-)

The big problem here is that the large image covers up most of the
thumbnails so to move from one to another in short sequence isn't really
possible

It is **not** working for me on Firefox:  the pictures jump around,
cover each other up, or reveal big white boxes as I move the mouse
around.  FWIW, and I see you are probably going a different route
anyway.  :-)

By the way, are the big images loading fast enough? Do you think I should pr
e-load them with JavaScript?

Hey you people,

Thanks a lot for your support so far, especially to Al Sparber- PVII, who
saved me about 10 hours of blood, sweat and tears!!

Can you please check if the photo gallery works in your browser now:

http://www.timokleemann.com/index.php?page=photos

I checked it this morning in IE6 and very much to my surprise it worked!
Please let me know if you encounter any problems when rolling over the
thumbnails etc.

I am developing on a Mac which is why I have only occasional access to IE6 f
or
PC.

Cheers!
