I have noticed a lot of people want it, instead reverting to a few short lines of Javascript when instead you could make a CSS and HTML pure site, with the code being a lot simpler and easy to understand too.

The :active pseudoclass is what you want.  On devices that use a
mouse, :active matches while you're clicking on the element.  On other
types of devices with different interactions, :active matches at the
appropriate time.

If someone is using js just to change some CSS while people click on
something, please tell them to just use :active.  ^_^
