2 IE Questions

1. Can you use ":hover" on things other than links in IE7?

2. Can someone lead me to some pie charts on what the largest browser-usage is?

1. Be aware that using the ":hover" attribute on elements other than link anchors, will not work in IE6 and below.

2. Just be aware the browser stats from w3schools are greatly biased towards designers browsers, not the usual internet users browsers. All you have to really consider with browser stats is IE is the mainstay browser, 800x600 is still used enough to be a standard minimum benchmark.
