Should the cursor property be set in a rule with or without the :hover pseudo-class?

Question

Say you, or I, have coded an HTML element...

H

...and some :hover CSS...

Answer 1

Both ways are equally good. However i would put it on the id itself as :hover does not work on ie6 or below if element is not an anchor. If you do not care about older versions of IE. Then both ways are correct.
