This won't work on IE, unless you provide a strict doctype. And for that, your code needs to validate that doctype.

I don't think any version of IE supports the :focus pseudo-class, even in standards mode. I think your boss is just going to have to understand this can't be achieved without JavaScript for IE.

Thanks, the good news is that IE8 will support this :) But I think that MS will keep the tradition all IE versions to be hell for developers :P
