I'm unable to get text-transform to capitalize my Drupal
menus for IE5.x. (I'm told that IE should recognize this
going back to IE 4.) Hmmm.

Website splash page (only) is visible at www.marxup.com.

Note the sidebar navigation menu, items Content and
Forums--these are not capitalizing in 5.0 or 5.5 IE on two
different systems. Works OK on Opera and Firefox, though.

CSS is:

.sidebar-left a:link
{
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: capitalize;
}

The code is getting to the links, because I can set the
color. Is there another setting that might be overriding
this? (I'm not using text-transform anywhere else in the
theme CSS.)

No guarantees about this, since I haven't tested it ... but it seems like I ran up against something like this before.

Try moving "text-transform: capitalize;" into its own rule. IOW ...

Instead of this:

.sidebar-left a:link
{
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: capitalize;
}

Try this:

.sidebar-left a:link
{
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.sidebar-left a:link
{
text-transform: capitalize;
}

IE5 is just weird that way ...

It was worth a shot, Gary, but it didn't help.

Moreover, someone checked the site on 5.01 and 5.5 with a Win2K machine and said the entries were properly capitalized at their end.

Maybe it's a Win98 DLL problem--two different machines for 5.0 and 5.5 but both running Win98.

Thanks!
