I used this on a div and it seems to work. Unfortunately the effects are only retained while the mouse button is down. They go away when it is released. I found this in the CSS "Selectors Level 3" Recommendation: "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. On systems with more than one mouse button, :active applies only to the primary or primary activation button (typically the "left" mouse button), and any aliases thereof." I suppose if I want changes to be retained after the mouse button is released then I need to write some JavaScript. -- R.
