I've set in my stylesheet for 3 links to swap their background images when hovered. It's something I've done many times in the past so I can't figure out why it won't work!

 

First I thought maybe it's because the <a> elements are empty, but I added an   and even some text but neither fixed my problem.

 

Every other browser swaps the images properly, but no version of IE does.

 

Here is my code (I've made the relevant <a> elements bold):

ul {
list-style: none;
}

ul li {

}

ul .last {

The styles that end in -current work fine (e.g. #nav-blog-current), but the :hover styles do not.

 

Does anybody know what might be wrong?

 

Thanks
