I use a hover navigation and it all works well. I’m really satisfied. But I’m also sadistic to the IE6 – so is there a CSS way to deactivate the :hover pseudo class?

like

...
<!--[if IE 6]>
<style>
#topNavigation #top_right li.directlinks:hover ul {dont-let-me-do-that:true;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>
<bod....>

But I think there is not such a function.. so maybe a JQuery snippet? Well I count on you guys!

Edit:
Here my actual code – and yes … it does work on a li. I CAN hover it in IE6 (but its a bit buggy so I will disable this function and I work with a JQUERY hover(function()…)

#topNavigation #top_right li.directlinks:hover ul {display:block}

    IE6 doesn’t support :hover on anything but a elements anyway, so it’s got you covered there.

    That said, if you’d like to hide any rules from IE6, it’s just a matter of tossing in the child combinator somewhere in the selector, here’s the famous html > body hack:

    html > body #topNavigation #top_right li.directlinks:hover ul

    But I seriously doubt your selector works on anything but a patched IE6 MSHTML.
