Comment:
:active should match the labeled control of a label element that is currently
matching :active (like :hover)

    <thetext>Browsers are already interoperable about this, as this works on Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE (tested IE11).

Presto does not, but it shouldn&apos;t matter.</thetext>

    <thetext>This seems like it would lead to really bad UI (e.g. making it look like buttons are being pressed even though they aren&apos;t), with no way to work around it (there&apos;s no :active-no-really-not-someone-else pseudo-class). But since it&apos;s interoperably implemented... :-(</thetext>

    <thetext>Checked in as WHATWG revision r8873.
Check-in comment: Match reality better for :active, even though this is suboptimal UI-wise.

    <thetext>You wouldn&apos;t have a label for a button. For radio buttons and checkboxes it seems to me it is good UI.</thetext>
