The A:hover pseudo element is not officially defined, so is open to
interpretation by different browsers (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1#anchor-pseudo-classes)

My solution, wrapping the links in a <div> and amending the style *** as
described below, should resolve the problem on *this page, on other pages a
<span> might be more appropriate.

I generally bookmark borderless images or use empty bookmarks, example: <a
name="ex"></a> which are not recommended since they allegedly fail in some
browsers (I have yet to find a browser they fail in - though I have not
tested any Apple-Macs.) These bookmarks do not display any hover
characteristics at all.
