Using the :active Selector
Description
The :active selector matches elements when the mouse is pressed on them.
Example
The following code shows how to use the :active Selector.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
:active {<!--from w w w .j a v a 2 s.c om-->
border: thin black solid;
padding: 4px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://java2s.com">Visit the website</a>
