Yes in the internet explorer 6 you must use javascript or at least a CSS hack.
Facebook no longer supports ie6 so it doesn't use any javascript or CSS hacks to position it's 'presence' bar as they call it.

It will work in IE7 if you use a Strict doctype. Also another point is that if you use the Strict doctype then the :hover css will work on table rows and other elements. It doesn't work on Transitional doctypes (you'll have to use javascript again to simulate the hover events).
