Peterned has a good idea for getting the :Hover of an element to work properly – use HTC files.

Good browsers (Mozilla, Opera and the like) allow you do define a style for hovering over, well, nearly any item. Naturally, Internet Explorer only supports a:hover – that is, hover for anchor tags. This sucks, and Peterned has written an HTC file that will, if the client is IE, rewrite the styles dynamically and assign the appropriate functionality to them.

Pretty cool.
