    Hi, all

    I have specified

    `.FamiliesResources p a:hover {
    zoom: 1 ;
    filter: alpha(opacity=50) ;
    opacity: 0.5 ;
    }
    .FamiliesResources p a:active {
    zoom: 1 ;
    filter: alpha(opacity=85) ;
    opacity: 0.85 ;
    }`

    The HTML is here:

    <div class="FamiliesResources">
        <p><a href="http://casel.org/in-schools/tools-for-families/" title="CASEL" target="_blank"><img src="http://cbhmboston.com/wp-content/gallery/family-resources/casel.png" width="249" height="46" alt="CASEL" /></a></p>

    </div>

    Can't figure out why hover state is not working. Could anyone lend a hand as to why?

    Thank you,

    Hey Doug,

    It actually works in Firefox, but to make it work better across more browsers, try changing

    
    a:hover
    

    to

    
    a img:hover
