Webalizer GroupAgent config – round 2 »



IE7 onclick and :active state

Curiously, if you add an onclick event to an anchor in IE7, the anchor remains in the CSS :active state regardless of whether the javascript returns true or false. It’ll stay in this state untill you click on another element on the page.

e.g.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<style type="text/css">
		a:active {
			background-color:red;
		}
	</style>
</head>
<body>
	<a href="#" onclick="javascript:return true;">Click me</a>
</body>
</html>
