I'm having an issue with the code below that is supposed to keep the selected link highlighted, but it only flashes the green color on click. Can someone help me figure out what's going wrong here?
#sidebarContent a:active{
background-color: green;
}
<div id="sidebarContent">
<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><a style="outline:none" href="#">Manage</a></li>
<li style="margin-bottom:10px"><a style="outline:none" href="#">Links</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
