}

i am using this IE7 hack for rounded corners: http://code.google.com/p/box-shadow/downloads/detail?name=ie-css3.htc&can=2&q=

but when i am using this htc file hover stop working. Anyone have similar problems that :hover stop working?

Try switching to CSS3 PIE.

It's an actively maintained project that, amongst other things, provides border-radius for older versions of IE.

In my experience it supports :hover properly.
