Without an actual page to check this, I *think* your problem is due
to IE needing an extra kick in the pants to react to ":hover".
Try adding one of these rules to get IE to take notice:
a:hover, a:active {float: none;}
a:hover, a:active {direction: ltr;}
a:hover, a:active {border: 0;}
a:hover, a:active {overflow: visible;}
a:hover, a:active {text-indent: 0;}
Cordially,
David
