I  am building an intranet site for a client. They are using frames for 
navigation (top, left-side, and main frame areas). In the top nav 
when you select a link it highlights and opens a frameset in the 
lower two frames that contain sub-links in the left-nav and the main 
area information to the right of it.

I would like to know if there is a way (and how to do it) of making 
the link in the top nav frame and left nav bar frame remain active or 
colored rather than disappearing when the mouse moves off them? 
The intranet is using IE 5+ browsers. I am currently using style 
sheets to control the link info. Here is what I have so far:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff }
a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #e3e3e3 }
a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #ffff00 }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #ffff00 }
-->
</style>

I think it should have to deal with the hover coding, but I can't find 
anything stating such. Any help would be appreciated.
