I have two different sets of links in my styles both with different IDs. Ones for the top nav and ones for the sub nav on the side. Both are using a.current but the current state on the top nav is not working in explorer but the current state on the sub nav works just fine in explorer. In firefox both the top nav and the sub nav current state works great. Why is one current state not showing in explorer? Please help.

TOP NAV STYLE:
#menu-bg a:link, #menu-bg a:visited{
float: left;
display: block;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0px;

}

#menu-bg a:hover, #menu-bg a:active{
color: #F8F8C2;
text-decoration: none;

}
#menu-bg a.current{
color: #F8F8C2;
text-decoration: none;
}

SUB NAV STYLE:
a.menulist{
display: block;
color: #7C0C24;
width: 12em;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0;
}

a.menulist:hover{
display: block;
color: #333333;
width: 12em;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0;
}

a.menulist:current{
color: #333333;
text-decoration: none;

}

a.current

Possibly because the top one has been declared as #menu-bg a.current{ when it should be #menu-bg a:current{?

Although why it'd work if FF and not IE, I'm unsure...

You know you're a geek when you try to shoo a fly away from the monitor with your cursor.

a.current

Unless I'm missing something here, 'current' is not a pseudo-class! ...I think we need to see your mark-up Starzy. Can you post a link?
