Please, am trying out my little knowledge on css. Please, how do I make the active links to remain the same color with the hover? I don't seem to get it here. Am almost giving up on this but am eager to learn more. Please help.


.mattblacktabs{
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
border-bottom: 2px solid black; /*bottom horizontal line that runs beneath tabs*/
}

.mattblacktabs ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
padding-left: 0px; /*offset of tabs relative to browser left edge*/
font: bold 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
list-style-type: none;
}

.mattblacktabs li{
display: inline;
margin: 0;
}

.mattblacktabs li a{
float: left;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 5px 15px; /*padding inside each tab*/
border-right: 1px solid white; /*right divider between tabs*/
color: #000040;
background: #ccc; /*background of tabs (default state)*/
}

.mattblacktabs li a:hover, .mattblacktabs li.selected a{
color: #fff;
background: #000040; /*background of tabs for hover state, plus tab with "selected" class assigned to its LI */
}
