Well, potentially. It says "CSS doesn't define which elements may be in the above states", and CSS3 Selectors has a similar provision. IMO, it seems slightly odd for a UA to make an element :active when it can't in any meaningful sense be "activated". > > I was thinking though, would it be possible to > > apply the same sort of things to keyboard events? > > Perhaps. Something like :key-active(c) ? For "standard" events, the existing dynamic pseudo-classes (perhaps with one or two additions, though none springs immediately to mind) should suffice. The above looks like events for arbitrary keypresses, and I can't think of a sensible use for that. (No doubt someone is now going to come up with an explanation of how it would be terribly useful to make a text input widget purple when the user enters a letter Q in it...) Tim Bagot
