How Do I prevent a:hover from affecting <a name=...>

[Ben Sharvy]

I know I could do it by restricting hover to a class of links
(a:hover.actual lyalink) but is there a way that doesn't require me to
change every link in every existing html document?

a.blah:hover, in fact

override the css properties only for your <a id="foo> like this:
a#foo:hover { settings you have for unhovered links }
AFAIK only works for id=foo, not name=foo, though.

Or:

a[href]:hover

Both selectors run foul of MSIE's lack of support for these construct.
Maybe it is best to just avoid using <a name=...>, and stick to using ID
attributes on other elements. You can't use those IDs for in-page links in
Netscape 4, all other browsers in current use support it.

a:not([name]):hover { ...your declarations ...} /* CSS3 selector */

will only work in Mozilla 1.6 and higher.

The site said to use Internet Explorer 5 or better... so I switched to
Mozilla 1.7.5 :)

I wonder if the OP has been waiting for that answer for the past
four months... ;-)
