@SEO_LandNov 29.2013 — Strider64 is right, by adding a HighlightLink.php file you can get highlighted the link text till visitor is on the page.

.current a { ..... }

This does not make sense to me. How can you still be on the same page if you have clicked a link???

@auntniniDec 04.2013 — At http://auntnini.com/sites/index.html my style sheet gives me focus color as long as pop-up window is active:

<i>
</i>a { font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; color: black; } /* #cc0033 #fc0 */
a:link { text-decoration: none; background: none; }
a:visited { color: #5d5d5d; /* #f30 firebrick*/ }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #F09; /*orange F90 red 39F pink F3C red cc0033; */ }
a:focus { color: orange; }
a:active { text-decoration:none; color: lime;/*blueGrey8899aa*/ }
