CSS pop ups do not show in Internet Explorer

Problem

CSS pop ups (elements nested in anchors) do not show when hovering over the link.

Solution

Specify a a:hover {} rule to style the element differently (using a property other than "color").

Detailed description

Internet Explorer v. 5 and 6 fail to reveal nested elements in anchors when the cursor hovers over the links.

A workaround is to make sure the stylesheet includes a a:hover {} rule that style the elements differently.

For example:

a:hover {border:transparent;}

Test case
