Active link

[trc]

I might be mistaken but if I use the following CSS then should the link to the page that is open should be a different color. This is not the case. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks in advance.

A.navLink:link {
color:#FF7D00;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;

}
A.navLink:visited {
color:#FF7D00;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
A.navLink:hover {
color:#336699;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

A.navLink:active {
color:#FF9900;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

How about posting your HTML, too? It's hard to help when you only have half the facts.

Good point.

Here is a link that I used.

<a href="about_mngmt.htm" class="navLink">Management</a>

AFAIK :active affects currently engaged link (e.g. during click), not links that point to current page.

Btw. the difference between FF7D00 and FF9900 is barely recognizable with blue :hover between.

vongrunt. Thank you. That makes it clear. Time for a javascript solution.
