a:active{ problem...

[vbkris]

hi,
i have a css like this:

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
<!--
a:hover{color: #333399; text-decoration: bolder}
a:click{color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none}
a:active{color: #333399; text-decoration: none}
-->
</style>

it works fine if the page is one HTML file, ie the colors switch correctly.

but when i use frames(two frames top one holds this link page, bottom some other file) and if i click on a link in the bottom frame this link's highlight vanishes (i guess beacause its no more active). how can i overcome that. i dont want to use gifs...

make sure you put
<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;stylesheet.css&quot;>
in every html page not just the frames page.

Define your CSS in the order [tt]a:link, a:active, a:visited, a:hover[/tt]. There's no such pseudo-class as [tt]:click[/tt]

Still about hierarchy. Isn`t that right that a &quot;a:visited&quot; is last instead of hover.

Hmmm, to my knowledge, the proper order is:

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