How to simulate :active css pseudo class in android on non-link elements?
- by chas s.
I'd like to be able to mimic the behavior of the :active pseudo class on all elements in Android webkit. Currently, the :active syntax only works on a elements (links). Nearly all of the actionable elements in the app I'm working on are something other than a standard link tag. iOS webkit supports :active on all elements.
/* works on both android iOS webkit */
a:active {
color: blue;
}
/* works on iOS webkit, does not work on android webkit */
div:active {
color: red;
}
I've found a couple of resources [1,2] that solve similar problems, but they're both a bit heavy, and I'm wondering if there's a lighter weight solution that I'm just not able to find.
