A lot of my page’s features (text) include css hover and active.

BUT

They will only work if I first hover over a certain word that seems to trigger the others.

Why is this?

In my case #input1 has an active part that when clicked on the border changes colour.
But this will not work until i hover my cursor over the footer text.

Thanks!

<head>
<link href="cloud.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    you are expecting input1:active to work like .input1:focus

    Change:

    .input1:active {
  height: 40px;
  width: 280px;
  background: #FFFFFF;
  border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;
  border-top: 1px solid #A4A4A4;
  font: 21px HelveticaNeue-Light;
  color: #151515;
  text-align: left;
}

    to:

    .input1:focus {
  outline: none;
  height: 40px;
  width: 280px;
  background: #FFFFFF;
  border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;
  border-top: 1px solid #A4A4A4;
  font: 21px HelveticaNeue-Light;
  color: #151515;
  text-align: left;
}

    PS

    Fix your code, you need to close that form tag, and should probably do the same with your inputs. Also there should be a space between the style declarations in your code

    <div class="center1" style="margin-top: 300px;">  <!-- added space between class and style declarations -->
  <form>
    <input type="text" class="input1" autofocus="autofocus" /> <!-- close with slash -->
    <input type="text" class="input2" /> <!-- close with slash -->
  </form>  <!-- close the form -->
</div>
