 div:hover { background: red; }

AFAIK, only works in Gecko-based browser like Mozilla (it's a CSS2
thing).

A more supported possibility is this:
 div a { display: block; }
 div a:hover { background: red; }
with this HTML:
 <div><a href="#">something</a></div>

Obvious drawback: it has to be a link.
