Help me if I mis-interpret the writer's fine article, but this pertains to Javascript rollovers, too.

The end user doesn't know and doesn't care whether that thing popping up was a CSS Hover, or a Javascript rollover. S/he only knows that, by innocently mousing around, something popped up without his/her deciding to actively invoke the popping up her/himself.

so maybe these rollovers, when they do ANYTHING besides indicate a clickable thing, are passe, amateurish techniques associated with the earlier days of the internet when the most cool thing was "stuff happening."

Now we're all over it..we've seen it, and we are back to function, information, usability, speed...

That should be enough until you start trying to use :hover for doing things beyond indicating the possibility of activation, and one you start doing that … http://www.cennydd.co.uk/2010/end-hover- abuse-now/
