Why a:active pseudo class does not working

Am using css for some site. I noticed that the a:active style definition in my css file does not work at all. I was told by someone that I have to put the definitions in this order 

a:link {...}
a:visited {...}
a:hover {...}
a:active {...}

I have done so but it's still not working. Please could someone tell me why it is not working and a possible workaround. Thanks
