In CSS the pseudo class :active is supposed to make the object active and apply the given style for a split second. This works in every browser except Internet Explorer, in Internet Explorer it keeps it active until you click away (kind of how :focus works in other browsers). Also in Internet Explorer if the :active is on a link and when you click on it takes you to a new page and then if you go back it is still active. Is there a fix to this to make it act how it acts in Firefox? Preferably a CSS or HTML fix but a JavaScript one is fine. Below is an example of what I mean. Run the script I Firefox and see how it is supposed to work and then run it in Internet Explorer and see what the problem is. Attached is a web page with and example I put together. It is in text so just change it to an HTML file and see it.

Thank You
