:Hover

Today I added a cute little CSS pseudoclass to my stylesheet. If you mouse over the link boxes on the sides, you’ll see the box color change to highlight the selected box.

Unfortunately, this effect only works with browsers that support the CSS :hover pseudoclass properly. I recommend Mozilla, or Safari, if you’re running OSX.

This effect does not work in Internet Explorer 6 for Windows.

Consider this article: “IE6 SP1 is the final standalone installation.” … “Legacy OSes have reached their zenith with the addition of IE 6 SP1. Further improvements to IE will require enhancements to the underlying OS.”

Want to keep using Internet Explorer, and also want it to properly support modern web standards? You’ll have to upgrade to the next version of Windows, (which won’t be released until the scheduled date of 2010), or you can subscribe to MSN, paying Microsoft a monthly fee to rent your browser.
