Hi,

There are many ways this can be done.

1. JavaScript - You can use a onmouseclick event
2. CSS - This will work as a hover rather than a click event

Hope this helps.

CSS can do this if you make it visible using a:visited and making the href reference itself but you can't make it invisible and going off page can make it reset.

I could be wrong, but I've heard that hover is not supported by IE????

Hover is supported for a link and is supported for other elements too in IE7 Strict mode.
