:hover in IE?

Well, I’m sure this has been asked before (actually I did a search but didn’t come up with anything) but I have to ask it.

How can I use the :hover property of say, button1, in IE? It works great in Fire Fox but it doesn’t want to work in IE. I’ve been told that only the <a> object can have a readable :hover property for IE but is there another way? Should I use Javascript?

Yep, IE6 only supports :hover on anchor elements. You’ve got to use a JavaScript hack to make IE treat other objects as hoverable.

You can use the CSS :hover even with a button image. It does work in IE, and no, you do not need Javascript.
