What properties were you trying to select with an a:hover selector?
Netscape 4 has serious problems with certain types of rules set on
inline elements -- such as borders and margins.

A way around these types of problems is to put your a:hover rules,
which won't work in Netscape, in a separate file and then use @import.
Since Netscape 4 doesn't understand @import, it won't ever see the
a:hover rules.
