Simulating :active with jQuery

For hover, I do this:

$('.btn').hover(function (event) {
   $(this).toggleClass('hover');
});

Is there any similar w开发者_StackOverflow社区orkaround for :active? Need it for the damned IE6.

You can use jQuery mousedown() to simulate this.

Look at the example here:

http://api.jquery.com/mousedown/#example-0

$('.btn').mousedown(function(){
    $(this).addClass('active');
}).mouseup(function(){
    $(this).removeClass('active');
});

Theres some info on here:
