I am trying to use Active Pseudo CSS class on text box in Firefox but seems like it is not working. Could any one suggest me a solution. below is the css code i am using :
hover is working fine. but on clicking on text box , active class should have been applied but it isnt.
.txtLogin
{
width: 100px;
float: right;
padding: 1px !important;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
height: 20px;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000;
font-family: Arial;
}
.txtLogin:hover
{
background: #ededed;
border: 1px solid #bfbfbf;
border-top: 1px solid #b5b5b5;
}
.txtLogin:active
{
background: #d9d9d9;
border: 1px solid #bfbfbf !important;
}
:active
only applies while the mouse button is held down...it is removed when the mouse button is released.
In your case, the pseudo-class is working, just, I suspect, not in the way you were thinking.
@MDN
The :active CSS pseudo-class matches when an element is being activated by the user. It allows the page to give a feedback that the activation has been detected by the browser. When interacting with a mouse, this is typically the time between the user presses the mouse button and releases it. The :active pseudo-class is also typically matched when using the keyboard tab key. It is frequently used on and HTML elements, but may not be limited to just those.
body {
background: lightblue;
}
.txtLogin {
width: 200px;
padding: 1px !important;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
height: 20px;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000;
font-family: Arial;
}
.txtLogin:hover {
background: #ededed;
border: 1px solid #bfbfbf;
border-top: 1px solid #b5b5b5;
}
.txtLogin:active {
background: #d9d9d9;
border: 1px solid #bfbfbf !important;
}
<input type="textarea" class="txtLogin">
I had raised a bug for the same and mozilla has now fixed this bug. Here is the bug id https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1168055 . They have provided a patch for the same.
I think you are looking for focus. Try it like below.
.txtLogin:focus
{
background: #ff00ff;
border: 1px solid #bfbfbf !important;
outline:none;
}
