I assume the use of the .border selector within the a.drop_links rule is 
just for illustration.  You might use:

a.dropLinks:hover {...}
.border {...}
.border:hover {...}

But I spose the .border selector is applying to some kind of container 
element, right?  If that's the case, this won't work in IE, which only 
respects :hover on the <a> element.  You can either change your HTML, or 
you can use clientside scripting to apply the :hover change to .border 
elements.  Check out http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html for a 
discussion and solution.
