[Project_owners] How to force Firefox in javascript to render :hover style

[Gary Johnson]

When I go here

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#x39

it talks about this;

Note that the A:hover must be placed after the A:link and A:visited rules,
since otherwise the cascading rules will hide the
'color'<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/colors.html#propdef-color>property
of the A:hover rule. Similarly, because A:active is placed after
A:hover, the active color (lime) will apply when the user both activates and
hovers over the A element.

which leads me to think that what you want as event priority and what gets
done as  event priority  may not be the same.  I vaguely remember working on
hover and what I think I ended up doing was defining different CSS classes
and changing the class of the object instead of trying to fiddle with the
internals of how CSS was going to work.

Or not, your mileage may vary
