LoVe HAte. Link Style Ordering: What about :focus?

[Historical Forums User]

I think everyone knows the “LoVe HAte” link ordering, but where should :focus come into it? It is merely a keyboard-based version of :hover?

Should the proper version be;

a:link { }

a:visited { }

a:hover, a:focus { }

a:active { }

LoVe Fuck HAte ?
Sorry, it was easy. :D

Yeah, :focus should probably stand next to :active. Maybe after :active. First you click on the link (:active) then it becomes focused (:focus).

Ha! Nice. Sounds like my love life at the moment.

And forever more, it shall be known.

(Also yes, I also *always* combine :hover and :focus)
