IE6 is not firing a mouseover event in the bottom padding or border areas when a DIV width is not defined, or set to width:auto.
As a workaround, setting a width brings the expected mouseover behavior back.

This is a hasLayout bug, so using the Microsoft proprietary "zoom" property will fix it without forcing a width (or other setting that triggers hasLayout=true):
zoom: 1;
