First: you're "killing the child so it can no longer support its
parent", which is slightly different from what you describe but of
course has the same effect. Only, the effect is immediate, and that
makes it fail for links.
The :active pseudo-class takes effect first - while the link is
activated, and the link isn't followed until it has being released
_after_ :active, and by then the link has disappeared and can't be followed.
If Firefox you can hold a link :active for ages without anything
happening. Once you release the link it will be followed. So, :active
can be used to give visual cues - like changing background
or similar, but not for much else. Use script for the effect you're after.
