Details

When you mousedown on a link, the link should become "active" see sample html:

<style type="text/css">
A { color: blue; }
A:ACTIVE { color: orange; }
</style>
<body>
<a href="http://www.netscape.com/">Netscape Netcenter</a>
</body>

Not sure if this is events (joki) stuff or style (peterl) stuff.

Well the color it changes is style stuff but that actual changing is mine so I
own this one.

An additional related comment (partly since I want all CSS1 failings to be in
Bugzilla):  although I wouldn't expect the NGLayout viewer to support A:visited
(because it doesn't keep a history), the facility should be there for when the
viewer is incorporated into the regular browser.&#137;
One last comment... support for the CSS2 pseudo-classes :hover and :focus would
be nice.&#137;
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.
per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according
to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser

QA contact re-assigned according to the product areas we're currently working
on.

Actually, this is mostly fixed now.  I've noticed at least one bug, though, if
a link spans multiple lines, only the first is made active.  That and it
doesn't become inactive but I'll have the fix in for that shortly.  Peter, can
you take a look at the rest and see if you need to do more with the style
update?

The multiple line issue is fixed (among others). Back to you Tom. :Active still
never turns off BTW (style never gets notified).

Yeah I have the fix for the deactivating stuff in my tree, probably going in
this weekend.  I have another bug for it though (3437) so I'm closing this one.
