CSS - Change Foreground & Background Color

hey guys, this has been bothering me for several days and really don't think theres a solution to it, but I might as well post it up to see if anyone else has a similar problem. the problem is when using CSS to change background colors on rollover, it is being slow in IE, but works perfectly fine in firefox. this, however, only happens when I have an extra div beneath the rollovers. i can't really explain it well, so I will show you what i mean. on the following page of a website I am developing you there are rollover effects on the right hand side for 'galleries' 'site statistics' and even the div below that. the link is:

http://rollinlow54.com/galleries/

now, in firefox, the background change is instant, no lag whatsoever. in IE, there is a good bit of lag, driving me crazy. so i played around with it forever, and realized that the only way to prevent IE from lagging is to remove the div with 'popular galleries'. so i did that he

http://rollinlow54.com/fixme.php

Here is the CSS for the code in the first page:

Code:

#links a 
{
margin-left: 8px;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 4px;
padding: 3px;
text-decoration: none;
width: 170px;
float: left;
background-color: #3A628A;
color: white;
font-family: arial, verdana, sans serif;
font-size: 11px;
}

#links a:hover
{
text-decoration: none;
background: #0A2F54;
}

that controls the 'galleries' 'site statistics' and other main links, and there are similar controls for the 'popular galleries' div beneath that. here is the HTML:

Code:

<div id="links">
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">galleries (18)</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">site statistics</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">download my resume (pdf)</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">contact information</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">visit company site</a>
</div>

there are similar HTML controls for the 'popular galleries' links as well. is there anyway around this??

Nevermind, fixed. Changed Pixels into Percentages.

I would like to have the background-color of a complete table row changed when I move the mouse over it.

Any ideas how to realize this within a CSS file (not with javascript)

Thanks in advance

Hello all,

Working on this page:
http://gatehouse.graffetto.com/rollover.html

When you roll over a story, the background color changes with javascript and CSS. However, in IE 6 and 7, you have to rollover the text in order for the background color to change. Mac FF, Mac Safari, and PC FF change background color when mousing over the containing div.

Any ideas how to rig this up for IE? Here's the simple version of the code:

Code:

<div class="story" onmouseover="this.style.background = '#E8E4D7'; style.cursor = 'pointer'" onmouseout="this.style.background = '#ffffff'; style.cursor = 'default';">
	<div class="storyTitle"><a href="VAR_LINK_TO_STORY">Seniors lose a friend</a></div>
	<div class="storyByline">1/7/07 - By Max Bowen</div>
	<div class="storyTeaser">Flags at town hall were flown at half-staff to mark the passing of Beverly Borges, the town's council on aging director, who often went above and beyond in her work with Rockland's seniors.</div>
</div>

any help would be great, thanks!

How do create text that has a background AND foreground image? The effect I am after is looking through one image (I already have a transparent one that should work) to see text which is on top of a background image.

I figure that these would come into play...but I have not been able to make the right combination of divs, etc., to make this happen.

.back {
background: url(backsrc.gif) bottom left repeat-x;
}

.fore {
background: url(foregrdsrc.png) bottom left no-repeat;
}


I don't think this detail will matter, but just in case... I want this appearance for the text of every <td> in a particular table.

Thanks,

I have a button which is drawn using css background-image and it has a hover effect using css a:hover. I also need to have a click state for this button, so that each time the button is clicked it switches between two different states (4 states total). Is this possible? I'm assuming this will probably require JavaScript which I have little experience. Thanks in advance for any help!

the code here works fine, except that the displayed text changes from white to black. It would be nice if each new text would start as FFFFCC and then fade to 3E3D11. Here is the script that I'm manipulating from Java Script Source:

<!-- Paste this code into the CSS section of your HTML document -->

#tic {
/* enter any styles for the ticker below */
border: .05em #CEC3AD solid;
font-size:0.85em;
padding:10px;
width:400px;
line-height:20px;
}
#tic * {
/* this will hide all children tags */
font-size: 1em;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
display:none;
}
#tic a {
/* add more tags to this list if you wish to display them inside the children */
display:inline;
}

var list; // global list variable cache
var tickerObj; // global tickerObj cache
var hex = 255;

function fadeText(divId) {
if(tickerObj)
{
if(hex>0) {
hex-=5; // increase color darkness
tickerObj.style.color="rgb("+hex+","+hex+","+hex+")";
setTimeout("fadeText('" + divId + "')", fadeSpeed);
} else
hex=255; //reset hex value
}
}

function initialiseList(divId) {
tickerObj = document.getElementById(divId);
if(!tickerObj)
reportError("Could not find a div element with id \"" + divId + "\"");
list = tickerObj.childNodes;
if(list.length <= 0)
reportError("The div element \"" + divId + "\" does not have any children");
for (var i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
var node = list[i];
if (node.nodeType == 3 && !/\S/.test(node.nodeValue))
tickerObj.removeChild(node);
}
run(divId, 0);
}

function run(divId, count) {
fadeText(divId);
list[count].style.display = "block";
if(count > 0)
list[count-1].style.display = "none";
else
list[list.length-1].style.display = "none";
count++;
if(count == list.length)
count = 0;
window.setTimeout("run('" + divId + "', " + count+ ")", interval*1000);
}
function reportError(error) {
alert("The script could not run because you have errors:\n\n" + error);
return false;
}

var interval = 7; // interval in seconds
var fadeSpeed = 40; // fade speed, the lower the speed the faster the fade. 40 is normal.

Hi,

I'm just learning css and need some help. I am attaching an html page that has a navigation bar that changes the background color of the table cell when you mouse over the text link. It works OK but I would like to have the bg color change when you mouse over the td cell. I am currently making it look like it changes the td background by adding Code:

display: block;
line-height: 32px;

to the "td.navbar a:hover" class.
Is it possible to change the td background when mousing over it using only css?

Here's the code that I have now:
Code:

I know how to make the background of a link change but how do you do it if it isnt a link? in css...

Hello, and thanks in advance for anyone who helps me with this.

I want to know if it's possible to choose one color on a page and change it to another.

This is the page I want to change: http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=bubbapyque

The menu on the left is uneditable by me because it's on Neopet's server. But I'd like to change the yellow color of the menu to something else.

Possible?

Thanks.

Hello, a bit of a .css n00b and needs your help.

After changing a .css sytle sheet to suit my a needed color shceme the links become underlined when the color is changed. Anyone willing to to tell why.

Ok so I've got a dropdown menu (what you use to select size/font/color when posting a thread) for a search form i'm doing, but the thing is nothing i seem to do in css seems to be able to get rid of the ugly grey outline and grey dropdown button, but as i'm seeing here on the forums the same ugly grey outline appears, is this a problem that is only resolved with like the latest version of i.e., is it possible or not?

Thank you,

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have a container in which I have a link. I would like to change the color of the container when the user hovers over the link.

Can I do that? I can make the background of the text change, but the container is wider than the text.

HTML:
Code:

<div id="LinkBox" class="LB1"><a class="LinkBoxLink" href="#">Link #1</a></div>

CSS:
Code:

#LinkBox {
float: right;
height: 20px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
border-color: gainsboro;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
text-align: center;
}


.LB1 {
width: 241px;
}


a.LinkBoxLink:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
}

a.LinkBoxLink:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
}

a.LinkBoxLink:hover {
background-color: red;
color: yellow;
}

a.LinkBoxLink:active {
text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks again for your help.
