This persists until any This outline could be considered to be present because the elements match :focus. I think MSIE for Windows interprets :active as the same as :focus (although it doesn't implement :focus, I don't think). However, the Netscape meaning of :active (matches while the element is *being* activated) differs from :focus, and Mozilla/NS6 implements the outlines as coming from :focus (which makes sense to me, especially when tabbing through links / forms). -David L.
