Require assistance resolving a CSS problem on IE8?

Greetings everyone, I am currently facing some compatibility issues with my style sheets, particularly in IE 8.

The CSS code below functions perfectly in my Chrome/Firefox style sheet, but unfortunately, it does not have any effect on my IE stylesheet.

#threetwoBTN {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url('../images/32Button_BG01.png');
}
a#threetwoBTN:hover {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url('../images/32Button_BG02.png');
}

In Internet Explorer, the code looks like this:

#threetwoBTN {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url('../images/32Button_BG01.png');
}

When working in IE, I can only apply the background image, but the desired hover effect as shown above doesn't work at all in IE8. Here is the structure of my tags:

    <div class="ContentBody">
    <div class="LeftContentBody">
        <br/>
            <!-- another div but ignored for example! -->
        <br />
        <a id="threetwoBTN">Download 32-Bit</a>
        <p>
            * ...
        </p>

The unique ID assigned to each 'a' tag allows me to specifically target and style each anchor according to its background and effects. Can someone please assist me in resolving this issue related to IE?

UPDATE:


The text appears indented off the page, which obscures the content between the anchor tags. This indicates that the button consists solely of a background image. To provide clarity, I have included the CSS used to style the anchor tag below:

.LeftContentBody a {
font-size: 10px;
text-indent: -1500px;
width: 124px;
height: 62px;
border: 2px solid #000000;
margin-left: 32px;
margin-bottom: 32px;
float: left;
clear: left;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;

}

Answer №1

Don't forget to include the href attribute in your tag. You can try using # and see if that works, it usually does for me.

I hope this suggestion proves to be helpful.

#threetwoBTN 
{ 
    background: #CCC;     
} 
#threetwoBTN:hover {
    background: #AAA;
}

<div class="ContentBody">     
<div class="LeftContentBody">         
    <br/>            
     <!-- Another div is included as an example! -->         
    <br />        
    <a href="#" id="threetwoBTN">Download 32-Bit</a>         
    <p>* ...</p> 
</div>
</div>

Are you using this image to accompany the text, or is it intended to be a replacement for the text?

If your goal is to replace the text, have you assigned width/height values and set it to display as a block element?
