But it's not about what you want; it's what about what your visitor
wants. It's unlikely he/she/it wants a popup, and likely that their
browser or other software will block popups. Or they could have
Javascript disabled, in which case nothing will happen at all (at least
with a popup blocker, they may get a message telling them it's been
blocked).
> The problem is that the second link will not honor the A:hover style
No, the problem is that you are trying to force a popup on your
visitors.

IE doesn't support :hover on anything except links.

That's because without a href attribute it's not a link. It's just an
anchor.
