This is real strange: I am trying to change the style of a link

Here the code to my example: http://www.prototype.net.au/test.html
I would love for the link to turn red when the user tabs onto it. But
Firefox doesn't do it at all and IE6 does it if I first tab onto it
and then
move the mouse over it. (?!)
Am I overestimating the abilities of the active pseudo class?
You should use the :focus pseudo-class in this case.
a:active points to the moment you click the link, or hit the return
key if you use the keyboard (activate the link).
IE win is broken here. It doesn't recognise the a:focus pseudo-class,
and treats a:active as if it were a:focus instead, and even then...
