Hi,
a:active is a pseudoclass, not a class, and the declaration should read:
ul#navTopSimpleUL li a:active
not a.active class name.
Browsers are tolerant of mistakes and try to correct wrong coding in a
meaningful way. However, different browsers may apply different
corrections to the error producing different results.
This is why you are getting different results in different browsers,
rather than it being a browser fault.
