I think you mean the active state   button active      some styling      These are all the possible pseudo states a link can have in CSS   a link  color  FF0000         unvisited link  same as regular  a     a hover  color  FF00FF        mouse over link    a focus  color  0000FF        link has focus    a active  color  0000FF       selected link    a visited  color  00FF00      visited link      See also  http   www w3 org TR selectors  the-user-action-pseudo-classes-hover-act
