Why hover does not work with class atribute

Question

See more:

I have created a style as following

.box
{
  height:300px;
  width:500px;
  font-size:1em;

}
.box:hover
{
  font-weight:bold;
}

I applied it to a span as follows

Hello to world

it works fine but the hover property does not work.
Else if, I use #box instead of .box in my css style and then Apply it as below

<span id="box">Hello to world </span>

Then the hover property works fine.

I could not understand why hover property does not work with class attribute. Can some one solve it?

Hi,
this is works fine for me. i have tested it with (IE: 8.0, FF: 6.0)

HTML

Hello to world

You may use following:

XML

<style type="text/css">
        a .box
        {
            height: 300px;
            width: 500px;
            font-size: 1em;
        }
        a .box:hover
        {
            font-weight: bold;
        }
    </style>

 <a>Hello to world </a>

Thanks,
Imdadhusen
