Input [type = "submit"] - change the background when clicked

Question

I have a simple submit button <input type="submit" value="Search"> . In CSS, I stylized it with input[type="submit"] and input[type="submit"]:hover so that it changes its default background and freezes. Is there a way to change the background when clicked?

Answer 1

You can use input[type=submit]:active , just like you created links.

Please note that this will not work correctly in IE6 (not sure if 7 and 8)

Answer 2

 input[type="submit"]:active { color: green; }
