- :hover – State of the control when a user points to the control or rests the pointer on the control.
- :focus – State of the control when the field is in focus, for example, the state of a text field when it is ready to accept inputs.
- :active – State of the control when the field is ready to be activated, for example, when a user has clicked the control but has not yet released the mouse button.
