Hello,
In Help
</chrome/en-US/locale/en-US/communicator/help/cs_nav_prefs_appearance.xhtml>
under heading "Appearance Preferences - Colors" I see: "Link Colors:
Click the colored blocks to select a color for displaying unvisited,
active, and visited links on web pages and messages."
But what is an "active" link? I expect a link to a web page (or file,
and eventually with #pagetarget) what has been visited and still is open
in Browser? But I NEVER see the selected color for an active link.
Who can help?
From
<https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#dynamic-pseudo-classes>,
describing the CSS attribute used to style "active" elements:
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.
Different colours can be specified via CSS or HTML attributes, so
"active" links might not be highlighted differently for particular
pages. Best to test using a simple HTML file with no explicit styling of
links.
In SeaMonkey, the "Active Links" colour seems to be used as described
above - a link is shown in the "active" colour while holding the mouse
button down on it, and changes to the "visited" colour after opening it.
If you click on a link and move the mouse before releasing, so that the
link doesn't get opened, it stays highlighted in the active link colour.
Using tab to select links doesn't highlight them in the "active" colour
though, which seems a bit inconsistent.
