CSS div hover - why doesn't this work in IE7?

This works in FF and Safari (for PC and Mac), but not in IE7. It's just a simple rollover ... any tips?

(The source code is viewable at the site, if that's OK!)

Thank you!

I'll guess that it's one of two things:

1 - no doctype (you need one)

2 - IE doesn't support hover on DIVs (test it by trying different, more simple effects on divs)

use some javascript and an onmouseover() event to handle changing style of the div u need..

Holy crap, thank you. Adding doctype worked. I was just doing a quick 'n dirty ... in the future I'll remember not to do them THAT quick 'n dirty.

awesome - glad it worked out...

wow, it does work with just adding doctype!

Adding the doctype ensures that strict mode is enabled, as opposed to the original mode; quirks mode.
