CSS - Image Rollover On Active Link?
Hi everyone,
I have a menu whereby when it's active it is highlighted by two combining images. Whenever the active link is hovered over the image disappears. I'd like for the image(s) to stay put when it's active and the cursor hovers over it. This particular .css file is above my pay grade and I'm not confident I can do this and have it look good across all browsers. Just click on the header links and hover over it to see what I'm talking about. Thanks for any input, here's the site... spotabusiness dot com/new_spota1 (I apparently can't add URLs yet) Similar Tutorialsi was able to have the image button links hover and change colors using 2 different image buttons, however i came to realize that i want to have the hovered image stay active once the button is clicked. can someone assist me with this? this is what my code looks like: Code:
a:hover#index {
background: url("./images/home-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a:hover#howto {
background: url("./images/howtobuild-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a:hover#installation {
background: url("./images/installation-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a:hover#design {
background: url("./images/dande-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a:hover#dean {
background: url("./images/deansblog-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a:hover#forum {
background: url("./images/userforum-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a:hover#plan {
background: url("./images/planbike-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a:hover#search {
background: url("./images/search-red.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
a#index, a#design, a#howto, a#installation, a#dean, a#forum, a#plan, a#search {
width: 86px;
height: 27px;
float: left;
margin-top:6px;
position:relative;
left: 115px;
}
a#index {
background: url("./images/home-grey.png");
}
a#design {
background: url("./images/dande-grey.png");
}
a#howto {
background: url("./images/howtobuild-grey.png");
}
a#installation {
background: url("./images/installation-grey.png");
}
a#dean {
background: url("./images/deansblog-grey.png");
}
a#forum {
background: url("./images/userforum-grey.png");
}
a#plan {
background: url("./images/planbike-grey.png");
}
a#search {
background: url("./images/search-grey.png");
}
OK, I've made this work in the past with no problem, but for some reason, I can't figure out this simple snippet of css for a navigation rollover with an image. Here's my code: Code:
a.creative_development{
width:289px;
height:28px;
background-image:url('../images/services_titles/creative_title.gif');
}
a.creative_development:hover{
width:289px;
height:28px;
background-image:url('../images/services_titles/creative_title_on.gif');
}
I've checked the paths, folder name, and image names, but it's not working. Can someone see what I'm doing wrong? thanks Hi-- I'm sure I'm missing something incredible easy, but I'm working on no sleep so please help! I've got image buttons and for rollovers I want to have a simple color highlight on the top so I've got the image in the background of a <div> then in a nested <div> I put a 100% transparent .png inside a link tag. Using CSS, I said replace that with the semi-transparent .png. In Firefox it displays the highlight at the bottom of the button image; in IE 6, it doesn't even display the background.

Whats' wrong with this? a:active doesn't seem to work at all: Code: <style type="text/css">

I just include this menu in a PHP page. We'll that will work iff you put # on the target page but that must not be. Thanks! is there a method similar to active, so when the user clicks the link it changes style but keeps the style change (after the mouse button is released) until the link is clicked a 2nd time at which point it goes back to its initial state and so on. i hope that makes sense Hi, I need some help to design an image based menu. I have been trying it for a week now but still could not achieve and going little bit mad. (Ive rewritten the same problem clearly this time hope someone can help me out) My menu image consists of 4 sections and 3 layers which looks like this: img26.imageshack.us/img26/1268/menux.gif 1.home 2.archives 3.news 4.about - (layer 1 unvistided link) 1.home 2.archives 3.news 4.about - (layer 2 hover link: mouse over) 1.home 2.archives 3.news 4.about - (layer 3 active: shows what section the visitor on afer clicking and going to that page) and my problem is with the last layer. I created the pages via admin panel of wordpress but give the links in the header.php manually myself without using codes. so the links of each section are like this home=http://localhost/wordpress/ archives=http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=2 news=http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=35 about=http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=31 You can see my codes for CSS and PHP files below. Could you please have a look at my codes and provide the right code. The menu at the moment works ok except from the active side of it. I tried to give class id like "active" but failed to get it worked so please please change my wrong codes. PHP code: Code: <ul id="nav"> <li id="home"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/">home</a></li> <li id="archives"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=2">archives</a></li> <li id="news"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=35">news</a></li> <li id="about" class="last"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=31">about</a></li> </ul> CSS Code: Code: #nav {

The main problem i can understand from the earlier discussion is that i need to give id class for active links in header.php code but i also need to rewrite the last four lines of css code according to the codes i wrote in php file. Can someone please help? Can someone please add or rewrite the active bit (in css codes - last 4 lines from the bottom) and in php file. please. Hi, I have this in the html and so on for each page <div id="nav"> <ul> <li class="current"><a href="one.htm">one</a></li> <li><a href="two.htm">two</a></li> <li><a href="three.htm">three</a></li> </ul> </div> Then css: #nav ul li.current a{ background:#CCCCCC; color:#000000; } But I don't want the first page's link to change colour until it is clicked. Otherwise the menu comes up with first link always active before anything has been selected. It looks wrong. Is there anyway around this in css? Thanks, jdl i know that IE doesnt support the :hover being added to anything but links, is this the same with :active? was just wondering whether i could have a style change when the user clicks on a form button Hello everone, i just joined today in this community and looking forward to enjoying here for a quite long time as i want to develop myself with css.

i think the problem may be with the last 4 lines of CSS code because they are related to the active links but dont know how i can find out the problem. thank you for any single suggestions and comments. This is the new site I'm working on: http://animalemergencybloomington.com/Index2.html Link and Visited Link colors work, but I can't get Active or Hover color to work. (Doesn't work in any of the browsers I've tested it in.) Right now I have this in the <head> css Code: Original - css Code <style type="text/css"> body { color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; margin: 0px 0px; } A:link { text-decoration: none } A:visited { text-decoration: none } </style> <style type="text/css"> and this for the <body>: <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" alink="#0000FF" vlink="#1E90FF"> adding a:active and a:hover colors to the style gives a "parse error" for those lines when I try to validate and doesn't work anyway as far as getting a color change on hover. I've been trying different combinations in the body and style all afternoon but get error warnings on everything I've tried except the above combo. I'm just trying for links that are never underlined (hate how cluttered that makes things look) but turn red on hoover. Help? Thanks, Ez Thanks for taking the time to read my question. It's been a while since I last tried making a page. I've got some images as href's and want to show a border around them on the hover. It's not working, they're just showing up as purple (default visited). This makes some sense as the links are just bookmarks on the same page. But in my css I have link, visited, and active all the same color. Only hover is different, and none of them are purple. I've read this http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp and I think I've got it, but it's not working. HTML Code: <a class"NavButtons" href="AssetDataDBHelpFile.htm#AssetForm"><img src="Computer.jpg" width="133" height="84" alt="Asset Management Form"></a> <a class"NavButtons" href="AssetDataDBHelpFile.htm#PeripheralForm"><img src="Peripheralbutton.jpg" width="133" height="84" alt="Peripherals Management Form"></a> <a class"NavButtons" href="AssetDataDBHelpFile.htm#ReportCenter"><img src="Report.jpg" width="133" height="84" alt="Report Center Form"></a> CSS Code: a.NavButtons:link {

Hi there, I have an image rollover css script, but it will not understand a:active so is there a way I can use an inline a:active attribute? Many thanks! I am trying to create a horizontal navigation bar. Everything is exactly how I want it except the a:link, a:visted, a:hover, a:active are the standard default colors and not what I specified. Even the background color changes - just not the font color. Here is the css code: Code: /*top bar settings*/
#topbar {
float: top;
height: 20px;
background-color: #5094f9;
clear: both;
padding-left: 10px;
text-align: left;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFF;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#topbar a:link, #topbar a:visited {
background-color: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFF;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#topbar a:hover, #topbar a:active {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #50949;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#topbar ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
padding-top: 2px;
margin: 0;
}
#topbar li {
display: inline;
margin-right: 160px;
}
Here is the html code: Code: <div id="topbar"> <ul class="horiz"> <li><a href="/home.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about_us/about_us.html">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/other_regions.html">Other Regions</a></li> </ul> </div> or if it helps to see the whole thing click here for test.html click here for the css Thanks! I have had this bug in another web I built. I use a centered fixed layout with a relative positioned container and floated divs inside. In Firefox, when I rollover on a link in the menu the contents of some divs show over all content as if they where triggered by the rollover. I have no idea why this happens. Please check this link and rollover the links on the left column to see the bug. You'll see how the comments show again over themselves and the rest of the content. Very weird! Thank you! I have a problem I can't resolve as I'm out of my depth with this CSS positioning issue on a joomla site with a bespoke template I have customised. The problem is that the client (a graphic designer) created a menu design where the top level menu buttons overlap with a curve. I have assigned a background image on hover and it works well. You can see it he I can't post an image of the menu as it won't let me, being a new poster, which is a pain... Code: #horiz-menu a:hover {
display: block;
z-index: 100;
line-height: 22px;
left:-53px;
position: relative;
background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
padding-left:63px;
height:27px;
width:162px;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
margin-bottom:-3px;
}
To achieve the overlap, the background has to sit behind the button to its left and that is achieved by moving it a fixed amount of pixels leftward. The menu text is then put back in place with the padding. However the client now wants the hovered image to stick in the parent position when the submenu items are hovered over. I've achieved this with: Code: #horiz-menu li.parent.active a {
background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
z-index: 100;
line-height: 22px;
left:-53px;
position: relative;
padding-left:63px;
height:27px;
width:162px;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
}
The trouble is that although the background image is positioned correctly, it has a knock-on effect on all the submenu list items which are being positioned to the beginning of the background image, 53 pixels to the left... I cannot pad the submenu items over to the right as it causes all the other submenus items under the other parents to move to the right too. I suppose my question is twofold: is there any way of setting the active parent list item background image position without the children items inheriting the position change? ; is there a better way of doing what I am attempting to do? If the client had not specified overlapping buttons I would be in the clear but my client was a graphic designer who designed without any thought as to the css implications. The requirements have been signed off and I have to find a way of implementing it. Please, any thoughts? I am not a css coder and I find css to be impenetrable, arcane whilst being slow and difficult to debug. All help really appreciated. OK, I've gotten this to work a hundred times before, but today I am stumped. Basically, I am trying to create an image rollover with CSS. here is my CSS: Code: a.footer_box3{
width:222px;
height:169px;
background-image:url('images/footer/footer_test/footer_box3_off.png') no-repeat;
border:none;
display:block;
}
a.footer_box3:hover{
width:222px;
height:169px;
background-image:url('images/footer/footer_test/footer_box3_on.png') no-repeat;
border:none;
display:block;
}
the above CSS is in the header of the document. Here's the code for the rollover in the page: Code: <td background="images/footer/footer_test/footer_box3_off.png" width="222" height="169"> <a href="our_people.asp" class="footer_box3"></a> </td> You can see the site here Scroll down to the bottom of the page where there are 4 footer boxes. I am only trying to get the third box to swap images on hover. can anyone see what I am doing wrong? thanks how do i have images rollover? ie when the mouse i NOT on the image its img1 and when mouse is its img2?? i cant work that out cheers actually i have sort of done it but with some problems: Code:
a:link, a:visited {
background: url('images/offlinks/contactus.jpg');
}
a:hover {
background: url('images/onlinks/contactus.jpg');
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="whatever"> hello </a>
it works if i put any text where hello is! but thenthat background has text so it makes it unreadable? Code:
.contact a:link, .contact a:visited {
background-image: url('images/offlinks/contactus.jpg');
text-decoration:none;
color:#CED3DB;
font-size:25px;
}
.contact a:hover {
background-image: url('images/onlinks/contactus.jpg');
}
in the book doing this would make the links in contact class have that image but it doesnt work? I am currently trying to figure out how to make a webpage with a navigation bar that consists of rollover images, BUT if the site has CSS and/or images disabled for a visually impaired user, text will appear as links. I have been searching the net, but have had no success in a solution other than not using images. HTML for Navigation Code: <!--NAVIGATION--> <ul> <li id="home"><a href="index.html"></a></li> <li id="students"><a href="students.html"></a></li> <li id="faculty"><a href="faculty.html"></a></li> <li id="facilities"><a href="facilities.html"></a></li> <li id="maps"><a href="maps.html"></a></li> </ul> CSS for first Button Code:
/*--NAVIGATION--*/
ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
li#home{
background-image: url(images/nav_home.png);
width: 205px;
height: 52px;
display: block;
}
li#home a{
background-image: url(images/nav_home.png);
background-position: 0 0;
height: 52px;
width: 205px;
display: block;
}
li#home a:hover{
background-image: url(images/nav_home.png);
background-position: 204px 0;
}
I am trying to implement the below code for my own page. The issue for me is I don't know how to get the background image to overlay the link text. Unlike in the example I don't want the text links on top of the image, I would like to be behind. Is this possible? Live demo of example: http://www.tutorio.com/media/css-tutorials/rollover-example.htm Code: <div class="rollover"> <a href="#">Item 1</a> <a href="#">Item 2</a> <a href="#">Item 3</a> <a href="#">Tutorio</a> </div> Code: .rollover a {
display:block;
width: 90px;
padding:10px 10px 10px 7px;
font: bold 13px sans-serif;;
color:#333;
background: url("rollover-image.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
}
.rollover a:hover {
background-position: 0 -35px;
color: #049;
}
.rollover a:active {
background-position: 0 -70px;
color:#fff;
}
I've tried adding an image between the <a and </a> and tried to change that when hovered. Code: <a href="about.htm"><img src="images/testimage.png" alt="" class="testimage"/></a> Code: a.img.testimage:hover {
background-position: 0 -40px;
}
