Most of the time it will be for mouse rollovers, however if someone comes up with a holographic interface (or whatever) it will be different (such as if the user can play hopscotch on the webpage then it will be when they are over the element). :focus is a good choice for keyboard navigation. I think it works in Moz and Safari but not in IE and Opera (not sure). I just tested :focus in Opera 7.20-win32 on a form element, and it gave me the desired effect first time (change of background colour, change of 4 border colours). I am going to probably use :focus in conjunction with :hover on all my forms now. Thanks Tonico! Just a bit of semi on-topic information: element/method msie-6.0.2800.1106 mozilla-0.7.1 opera-7.20 input:focus broken works works input:hover broken works works (excuse the tab separated values - next time i'll publish it online and place a link).

[WSG] :hover accessibility
does anyone else feel that :hover is a little too enticing and likely to lead to some accessibility issues? depends on what you're using it for of course, rollover images is a non-issue, but for things like rollover menus, where's the keyboard support? just a random thought. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ * * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *

No. I seriously hope this part of CSS doesn't get blacklisted as inaccessible. depends on what you're using it for of course, Exactly. Any tool can be misused in a variety of ways. There is no inherent trouble with rope, per se. Yet it can be deadly, if used in a certain way... rollover images is a non-issue, but for things like rollover menus, where's the keyboard support? As long as there is at least one equivalent alternative navigation method provided, rollover menus don't hurt, but only add a layer of functionality for a subset of users.
