I have a working demo of breadcrumbs here in this JSFIDDLE
Below is the code
HTML
<div id="crumbs"> <ul> <li><a href="#1">One</a></li> <li><a href="#2">Two</a></li> </ul> </div>
CSS
#crumbs ul li { display: inline; } #crumbs ul li a { display: block; float: left; height: 50px; background: #3498db; text-align: center; padding: 30px 40px 0; position: relative; margin: 0 10px 0 0; font-size: 20px; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; padding: 30px 40px 0 80px; } #crumbs ul li a:after { content: ""; border-top: 40px solid rgba(0,0,0,0); border-bottom: 40px solid rgba(0,0,0,0); border-left: 40px solid #3498DB; position: absolute; right: -40px; top: 0; z-index: 1; } #crumbs ul li a:before { content: ""; border-top: 40px solid rgba(0,0,0,0); border-bottom: 40px solid rgba(0,0,0,0); border-left: 40px solid #fff; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; } #crumbs ul li a:hover { background: #fa5ba5; } #crumbs ul li a:hover:after { border-left-color: #fa5ba5; }
Css has pink color for mouse hover but what i actually want to do is to preserve that color once any item on breadcrumbs is clicked ie: the pink color should remain after a click which can act as a signal to user as of which tab in breadcrumb is currently active.
I have tried using :active in css but it does not preserve the color on breadcrumbs after click.
Any help ?
