test case

Note that in Firefox this selector doesn't match the <p> elements, but does match the <input> and <button> elements.

test case

Windows IE 7 has the same behavior as Safari 3 beta on this test case: :hover doesn't match any elements.

Closing: that's the expected behavior in quirks mode https://quirks.spec.whatwg.org/#the-:active-and-:hover-quirk
