[thelist] help, please, a:hover visibility problem in IE5.5 win

[Will Wallace]

Hi Natalya

IE 5.5 Win has a bug where the link stays 'active,' staying however the 
last style is defined. You need to code the all states, in the 
following order every time to avoid the problem.

Link, Visited, Hover, Active. (mnemonic LoVe HA!). I usually make link, 
visited, and active the same. Also, you may want to code for focus 
(same as hover except using keyboard) between visited and hover.

Hope this helps.

Will
