Thank you waybackmachine! Fixed link
An excellent and very elegant hack that allows you to use the :focus pseudo-element in CSS2 for any selector, in MSIE. Right now IE only supports :focus on anchors. The article shows some good examples for styling focused form fields. Also included in the hack is the whatever:hover behaviour since IE has a similar deficiency with this pseudo-element.
Someday I need to use some of these cool techniques on my site.

Ahh thanks, I’ll fix that.
The web archive link is broken, too.
