Change bground colour of div on mouse click

[mumford1]

Hi

Could someone look at my navigation at http://www.search-engine-professionals.co.uk, at the moment the div bground changes colour to black on mouse-over.

What i want to happen is when the user clicks on one of the menu items it stays black until another item has been clicked.

does anyone have any ideas?

thanks for any help

Write a small script to pre-process the onClick function for the div.

So long as whatever you put in that function returns true the link will still operate as normal.

Very interesting - I didn't know that the :hover etc classes could be applied to DIV's.

You must be talking about the navigation bar. If somebody is on 'home' you want this field to remain black until the person goes somewhere else, right?

I am sure i've seen that before somewhere, not sure though whether it was CSS though.

However, i've seen a similar CSS where when you're stuck on one page an ever so slight border is added to the right of the link... i'll try to find that page and will post the link.

Edit:


actuallt check out the top navigation bar of www.rtl.lu, if they manage to give it 5 different colours (each related to the colour scheme of the correspondent page) you should be able to do this with the one colour only too...

havn't tried this yet but looks promising:

a.link:active {...}
