:hover is not a valid jQuery selector: http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

However, querySelectorAll, which is used by jQuery on modern browsers, does support the :hover pseudo selector, and as you've seen, works there.

If :hover does not work on IE 7 jQuery is not cross browser.

jQuery doesn't and can't support every feature on every browser. Notice that jQuery doesn't try to make border-radius work on IE7 either.

How I can write :hover equivalent for IE 7?

That is a great forum question, but not appropriate for a bug tracker.

you don't need ":hover" equivalent

i think that .hover() function can does much more than your require

see here:
