<p><span class="seoSummary"><strong><code>:active</code></strong> <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS">CSS</a> <a href="/en-US/docs/CSS/Pseudo-classes" title="Pseudo-classes">pseudo-class'ı</a> kullanıcı tarafından o an kullanılan (buton gibi) elementleri temsil eder.</span> Bu seçicinin etkinliği, fare ile gezinirken, sol tuşa bastığınızda aktifleşir ve bıraktığınızda son bulur.  <code>:active</code> seçicisi genellikle {{HTMLElement("a")}} ve {{HTMLElement("button")}} buton elementleri için kullanılmaktadır ancak diğer elementler için de tercih edilebilir.</p>

<pre class="brush: css no-line-numbers">/* Aktif edilmiş bir &lt;a&gt; elementinin seçicisidir. */
a:active {
  color: red;
}</pre>

<p><code>:active</code> pseudo-class'ı ({{cssxref(":link")}}, {{cssxref(":hover")}}, veya {{cssxref(":visited")}}) değerleri tanımlı ise aktif olmayacaktır. Linkleri uygun bir şekilde stillendirebilmek için,  <code>:active</code> kuralını linklerle alakalı tüm kurallar arasında LVHA order olarak bilinen sırada, en sonda kullanın.<br>
 <br>
 <em>LVHA-order</em>: <code>:link</code> — <code>:visited</code> — <code>:hover</code> — <code>:active</code>.</p>

<div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> On systems with multi-button mice, CSS3 specifies that the <code>:active</code> pseudo-class must only apply to the primary button; on right-handed mice, this is typically the leftmost button.</div>
