The hover effect will be used in a javascript menu on our intranet.

Thank you. Now please keep using the usual clueless indicators, until
you have something on-topic to say. Thank you in advance.

WTF??

What kind of trip are you on?

My original post was very succinct. It was a technical question that
required a technical answer, which Steve kindly provided. The :hover
pseudo-class is not fully implemented in IE. That's all I needed to know.

*Your* response was off-topic:
"We don't even know the real problem, so we cannot estimate the adequacy
of the solution. What is the problem that you expect to solve with the
hover effect (which?) for a non-anchor element? Is there any reason why
the user would move the mouse over a normal innocent element?"

My post did not ask you to 'estimate the adequacy of the solution' [sic].

'We don't even know the real problem' - I didn't tell you. You don't need to
know.

Answer the question, ask for clarification if you dont understand, or choose
not to answer it. We are grateful for any help you choose to give, but we
don't *expect* that you must give it.

My previous post was supposed to appease you and others like you. We all
like to do a good job, but sometimes we have to do things we dont agree
with. This is a fact of life. If my boss wants, usually my boss gets....

Clearly you are a very capable technician, but I question your skills as a
diplomat. I'm sure there will be opportunities in the future where I could
benefit from your help, but I'd rather rely on the other posters if it
avoids any more of your presumptuous and distasteful posts.

I know that this post wont make any difference, but I have a duty of care to
try.

Apologies for a truly off-topic post.
