Question

I have the following:

> li {
   float:left;
}
> li:active, 
> li.current {
   background-color:#888888;
}
> li:hover {
   background-color:#e9e9e9;

When I am using Mindscape web workbench it tells me that the line “> li: active” has invalid syntax. If I remove the following line it’s okay. If I remove that line it’s okay. So is my syntax really wrong?

Answer 1

I’m not sure that the active property works with the “li” you should use instead something like:

li a:active
