I believe that most browsers have ':active' implemented in a way that it
can be applied to every element, as in:
p:active{
color:#000;
background:#ddd;
}
In Bugzilla a bug was reported[1] about a CSS3 test case[2], which
indicates that ':active' is probably only meant for form and hyperlink
elements, as in INPUT, A, LINK, AREA, BUTTON and probably more.
The CSS3 selector specification however, doesn't mention this explicitly[3]:
# The :active pseudo-class applies while an element is being activated
# by the user. For example, between the times the user presses the mouse
# button and releases it.
Can someone clarify this issue perhaps?
