Code:

a:active

Why wouldn't it work in Mozilla/FF on PC and IE and Safari for a Mac?

(It's some rubbish framed site that we're helping with - don't ask, too depressing.)

smallbeer · 16-08-2004, 10:09

have you got them in the right order?

Code:

a:link
a:visited
a:hover
a:active

sleepingfish · 16-08-2004, 10:13

Yes, incidentally does it matter whether you use

Code:

instead of

Code:

a:link

?
I've tried using the

Code:

!important

hack, but it hasn't changed anything.

Brown · 16-08-2004, 10:14

hmm, try the SFWM hack:

Code:

!stopFuckingWithMe

sleepingfish · 16-08-2004, 10:21

No that didn't work either, I even tried

Code:

!thanksAFuckingLotBrownThatsReallyHelpful

but not even that works.

You might need to use the double * hack on that. kids about an' all that.

smallbeer · 16-08-2004, 10:29

post up the styles you're using.

sleepingfish · 16-08-2004, 10:30

The double * hack only works in IE unless you add

Code:

;_youCunt

Anyway having just played my part in taking this thread wildly off course, does anyone know why

Code:

a:active

only seems to work in IE for PC?

sleepingfish · 16-08-2004, 10:32

Code:

a:link {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #666666;
	
}
a:visited
{
	color: #666666;
}
a:hover{
	text-decoration: underline;
}

a:active{
	text-decoration: underline!important;
	color: #FF3333!important;
}

active might not be supported. i don't think i've ever noticed it's effect on any site with mozilla.

beuller?

Brown · 16-08-2004, 10:33

oh, just re-read. frames.

Brown · 16-08-2004, 10:34

mozilla might take the focus off it b'cos the action is calling the other frame into focus making the other frame 'active'?

dunnow.,

Maybe, but IE on a Mac and Safari are doing the same thing.

Bloody Mondays.,

That works in frames too.

Stickman · 16-08-2004, 11:06

You might need:

Code:

:link:active, :visited:active { blah }

and so on.

Explained here: http://dbaron.org/css/1999/09/links

sleepingfish · 17-08-2004, 11:27

Forgot to say, cheers people, we were only supposed to be having a quick look and cleaning up their HTML so in the end we just told them it wouldn't work due to frames.

A strange one to be sure, tried out those techniques you linked to Sticky and the links still weren't playing ball.
