The :focus selector is allowed on elements that accept keyboard events or other user inputs.

input:focus { background-color: yellow; }

Well you need to focus on your work. HAHA

It's working for me. You click on the link? What browser you using? image: http://postimg.org/image/3p5qtvtc1/

Chris, you need to use the TAB button on your keyboard to jump to each link on the page. focus rules will then work.

So the Focus psedo-class works fine with Chrome. What would be the reason why it does not work with Safari? When I hit the tab key it selects some browser options up top including search bar.
