The following is the CCS Styles code I am using for links on my site:

a { color: #006363; font-size: 70%; text-decoration: none; line-height: 150%;}
a:hover { color: #000000; font-size: 70%; text-decoration: underline; }
a:active { color: #000000; font-size: 70%; text-decoration: underline; }

Everything works except a:active. It has no effect whatsoever. Can anyone tell me why?

Many thanks!

Try and use relative numbers (aka pixels) when it comes to font size. Percentages don't work half the time -- it depends on the default font size in the browser.

Thanks for your suggestion rockergrrl. I probably should change to relative numbers.

But that doesn't explain why a:active doesn't work. The other two lines of code work. When I mean when I say "a:active" doesn't work, I mean that the color of the visited links do not change after they are click on.

Can you explain why?

active!=visited

Oh yeah, try here:

Google-ing for CSS link color brings up a few hundred relavant pages as well as the above link.

Active = selcted using the tab-key or click and hold with the mouse. You have both hover and active as the same style, so there is no differens. Change the style for active to color:red and see what happens.

Just to let you know, It's CSS not CCS :)
