Help in :hover CSS

Question

Does :hover in css only works on <a> tags? Or it can work on any HTML tags? Thank you.

It applies to any element, but IE6 and earlier have a bug which only lets it work on links (<a> elements with an href attribute).

The summary: IE6 only supports :hover on links. Everyone else supports them everywhere.
