Question

Answer 1

A:

I found that this solution worked better and was a bit cleaner:

    <style type="text/css">
        * {
            color: #fff;
        }
        .wrapper {

        }

        .trigger {
            background: #223;
        }

        .appear {
            background: #334;
            display: none;
        }

        .trigger:hover .appear {
            display: block;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>

    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="trigger">
            <p>This is the trigger for the hover element.</p>
            <div class="appear">
                <p>I'm <strong>alive!</strong></p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

</body>

pastebin.

Answer 2

+6 A:

IE7 won't allow you to apply :hover pseudo-classes to non-anchor elements unless you explicitly specify a doctype. Just add a doctype declaration to your page and it should work perfectly.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;

More on IE7/quirks mode can be found on this blog post.
