Hi,
Is my understanding of active component correct? I have always equated active with enabled and inactive with disabled.

Thanks.

Jim

Hi,
The other ting I was thinking was that in the case of links, you can use :active in CSS but the link is not disabled. In this case active means that you are showing that this link is the one that leads to the page you are viewing now.

Thanks.

Jim

No, that CSS :active pseudo-class has nothing to do with the way
active/inactive are used/meant in 1.4.3 and 1.4.11.
