Hi Michal, yeah, its a pity :active doesn’t work in a number of cases. I tried it with the off screen positioning, but couldn’t get it working. It might be useful to investigate exactly what styles :active will allow when used in IE.

You can use a:active for IE, but it doesn’t work all the time.

@ Joel : IE can indeed recognise dual class name selectors, but I believe only when you don’t use the element itself as a selector, which would make this the correct CSS:

.helper:focus, .helper.focus {...}
