When you click a link it becomes active for a millisecond, if you go to google and perform a search, go to the bottom to view the second page, pay close attention when you click a link, you will notice foir a brief second the link turns red.


• The :hover selector is not secluded to links, the hover selector can be used on other elements

Note some browsers will have compatibility issues with the :hover selector and some additional settings within the browser may be required to be altered to allow the use of javascript.
