:hover pseudo element

[liunx]

hello, currently i use the :hover pseudo element for my dropdown menu w/ a js for ie users. I was wondering if the following would be better to use than the js:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.vladdy.net/Demos/iepseudoclassesfix.html">http://www.vladdy.net/Demos/iepseudoclassesfix.html</a><!-- m -->

also, what would all the advantages be to using/not using it? thx

also, the js i use is:

startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes;
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
}
node.onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload=startList;Real browsers ignore .htc so you save some bandwidth.
Your script targets a certain element, while the code I provided will work with any element on a web page and is shorter.
Your script will not work with other scripts on the page that utilize onload event.Originally posted by Vladdy
