a:hover not working with simple anchors

[TR]

I cannot get the a:hover pseudo-class to work in IE6, although it's
working in the other browsers I've tested. The cursor changes from arrow
to the I-bar insertion cursor with hover, but the underline is not
applied.

Here's the CSS:

A:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #3333cc;
}

And here's an example of the HTML:

<A onclick='FAR(1)'>Kentucky Derby</a>

This problem appears to be caused by the fact that there is no HREF in
my anchor, but a javascript function call. Does Microsoft define the
hover pseudo-class as a feature of the HREF rather than of the ANCHOR?
If I insert an empty HREF (href='') it works.

Thanks

Hmm.. interesting.

Instead of onclick, try

<a href="javascript:FAR(1)">Kentucky Derby</a>

Also, all your HTML elements should be lowercase.
