CSS - Desperately Need Css Help Asap (hover - Image Question)
I'm taking a condensed class at the community college here and my final is due tomorrow night. My teacher has a very thick Russian accent and is very difficult to understand, and does not make himself particularly available away from class hours...so...I'm sort of stuck. I understand that this is an embarrassingly basic CSS I've got rigged up here, so I need no critiquing on it, though if you feel you must, go ahead. Anyway, I was finishing the thing up tonight and realized that I missed one of the requirements for this final project (sloppy handwriting =( ). My main question is this: On each page I have a series of thumbnails, and one larger image at left. I would like to (either with addition to the CSS, or with not too much extra addition to each of the thirty some pages) create a hover effect wherein ONLY the larger image at left will load a larger version of the image on mouseover. I found a few examples on CSS tutorial websites but have been unable to correctly apply it. I am really in a jam and would appreciate any help anyone could give me on this. Additionally, (I know this one is really pushing it) I was not able to resize images, as I am on a new machine and a tight budget, so couldn't afford a copy of photoshop. Most of the images are already resized to 600 x 800 (downloaded from my photobucket account onto the new machine after the old died) but a few of them are larger sizes...so on the mouseover, is there a way to constrain all images to their correct proportions, regardless of filesize? I think this might be an impossibility but I thought it was worth the time to ask anyway (e.g. 600 x 800 images that are constrained to a smaller size, will pop over on mouseover to full 600 x 800, while images that may exceed those dimensions would still on mouseover pop over at a maximum of 600 or 800, whichever side is the largest, and the smaller size whatever it should be proportionally)?
I know this is really convoluted and probably sounds incredibly dumb, but most of us in the class have essentially self-taught ourselves, given how difficult our instructor is to follow in the classroom, so I've done everything on this project by trying to find examples in a pretty terrible text book. Any help would be hugely appreciated. I am pasting in the CSS sheet, as well as the code for an example page, so that someone might possibly be able to help me correct/add this. If you are able to help, please be as explicit and obvious as possible, because I am having a hard time working this out on my own.

Again, I'm desperate, and would be super super grateful for any help/pity any of you might toss my way. Thanks.

Having trouble with using CSS for email link. The problem is that mouse hover produces a black background - this is the intention. However, after clicking on link to open email client, the link (on that page) doesn't have the balck background effect. Other pages in the site are OK - until I click them once. Am I missing a section from the css file below that would give me the same hover effect even after the action of clicking the mailto: link has been done? Many thanks a:link.link1 { color: #CDBC75; text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent } a:visited.link1 { color: #CDBC75; text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent } a:hover.link1 { color: #CDBC75; text-decoration: none; background-color: #000000 } a:active.link1 { color: #CDBC75; text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent Hey there! I have a question: is it possible to change the properties of OTHER elements, IDs, et cetera when hovering over something else? For example, let's say I have a fieldset, and inside are some fields, and a <legend>. Is it possible to make the legend change color when I move my mouse over the fieldset, and not the legend? This could make for some nice CSS effects. Thanks! Hi Guys, I am having trouble working out how to line up the hover background image with the background image for a mouseover effect. It is currently putting the hover BG image ''x.gif' over the text instead of in the same position as 'bullet.gif' HTML ---------- <div id="vertmenu"> <ul> <li><a href="#" tabindex="1">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="2">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="3">Computing</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="4">Web Sites</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="5">Games</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="6">Links</a></li> </ul> </div> CSS ---------- PHP Code: #navcontainer ul { list-style-type: none; text-align: left; } #navcontainer ul li a { background: transparent url(images/bullet.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left: 15px; text-align: left; font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px; color:#33CC00; font-weight:bold; text-decoration: none; color: #999; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FF9933; } #navcontainer ul li a:hover { background: transparent url(images/x.gif) left center no-repeat; color: black; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FF9933; } #navcontainer ul li a#current { background: transparent url(images/x.gif) left center no-repeat; color: #666; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FF9933; } I am wanting to add an hover option to my pictures and can not get it to work. I have each picture in a box div and was wondering how to add an hover to it. The link to the website is:-brushing with greatness. I just want the whole box to light up when you hover over the image.

When I mouse-over nothing happens... Hi there, I am looking for a way to display a 'translucent' layer on top of an image when hovered on. Is this possible? I guess I can do it with a PNG, but this onl;y works in IE right? Any ideas? Hi, I have a menu of made of images, each one is a link to a certain page. I want to replace the current image with a new slightly different image when the user hovers on it. I have 5 menu items so 10 images. My question is, can I do this in CSS without having to make a CSS rule for each image? Thanks in advance Hello, I am trying to get two image links (that look like tabs) to get to work on my web page. What I want to have is a tab that when a user hovers over it, the background image appears (just a different version of the original image). So my HTML is: Code: <table> <tr> <td><a class="flights"><img src="/images/buttons/f.gif"></a></td> <td><a class="vacations"><img src="/images/buttons/v.gif"></a></td> </tr> <table /> and my CSS is: Code: .flights { background:url(/images/buttons/f_h.gif) center top no-repeat; width: 78px; height: 41px; /* background-image: url(/images/buttons/f_h.gif); */ margin-right: 1px; } .flights:hover img { visibility: hidden; } .vacations { /* background:url(/images/buttons/v_h.gif) top left no-repeat; */ background-image: url(/images/buttons/v_h.gif); } For some reason in FF (have not tested in IE) the background image sticks out a little at the bottom even though both images used are exactly the same size. Then when I hover over the tab, its background image appears but it is about halfway down from the foreground image. Any insights as to why this might be happening? I'd better admit right off the bat that I'm a total moron at this stuff. Here's the site I'm working on (I apologize for the geocities ads - I don't want to buy hosting until I'm ready to roll with the page). http://www.geocities.com/dbot69/page1.html It does pretty much exactly what I want it to do through firefox, but it's all messed up on internet explorer. Is there any way I can get it to be compatible? I got the css code from this website (it's down but here's the google cache link): http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:na1aQDyoijkJ:www.frankmanno.com/ideas/css-imagemap/+CSS+Image+Maps+-+Flickr-like+Technique&hl=en&client=firefox-a then I tailored the code to do what I'm trying to do. But I'm probobly just doing it stupidly seeing as I have no clue what I'm doing. I got the following error when i tried to validate my code: "Line: 21 Parse error - Unrecognized " (it said other stuff, but it wouldn't let me make the post with that other stuff included) I don't really know what that error means though or how to fix it Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Rob I have seen it once but cannot find it. What I am looking for is a script or stylesheet code that when the mouse is over an image that is a link, a large size of that image will appear as a popup and disappear when mouse is removed, how do I do it or when can I find it. Thanks Tim That's what a friend of mine is trying to do to her blog. She's been trying for the longest time to get the hover command to change some link text color into a gif image, but all she can manage is the background behind the text. If you don't get what I'm trying to say, this is a screen cap of what she has right now: img801.imageshack.us/i/screencap.png/ Basically, she want's to know if there's a way so that, rather than having the gif around her text, it would display inside of her text only so that the words would look like static. If anyone knows if this is even possible, please help me out. Thanks in advance. i know this is probably a really simple question but i cant think straight and why i cant work it out. when the person hovers over this image i want it to display a border or a certain colour. Code: #buildings { height:195px; width:280px; float:left; margin-left:155px; margin-top:45px; } thats my css i have for this image: Code: <div id="buildings"> <a href="Buildings.php"> <img src="Menu_Images/Buildings.png" width="280" height="195" alt="Buildings" /></a> </div> what would i need to do do ive tried a hover: but that didnt seem to work I'm still relatively new to this whole homepage thing. I was wondering if its possible using only CSS to make this happen: i have a bunch of headings along the top of a page that a person can click on. Below is a box with an image. I would like a different image to appear in that box when a differnt heading above is hovered over. Is this javascript stuff ?:S (havnt started learning that yet) tanks, matt. I want a background image on an element that is a specific size where the background changes when hovered and the element functions as a link. I don't want text for the link to be visible. I tried doing this as an a tag but the background is only visible for the height of the text unless I make the text huge and then make it transparent and that doesn't work in IE as the text is still visible I want it to be a specific width and height. It is on the opposite side of a nav bar from my main nav that is a horizontal list so I want is to retail the size of my nav. I don't want the background to be two different images for plain and hover so I was using background placement and moving the bg image on hover. I thought I could then do this as a single li but I have not had success. What is the simplest way to achieve this? I would like to keep the text somehow for accessibility but not have it visible. I have an image gallery, that when the thumbnail is hovered over a larger image appears. This works fine in Firefox and IE but not in Safari. I have validated my code and css. The gallery is at http://www.briandobson.com.au/sthaust.html Code: <tr> <td valign="top">Boat Harbour, Goolwa<br /> 75 x 35cm <br /> $720</td> <td valign="top"> </td> <td> <a class="thumbnail" href="#"><img src="SthAust/thumbs/Boat-Harbour---Goolwa.jpg" alt="Boat Harbour, Goolwa" width="200" height="46" /> <span> <img src="SthAust/Boat-Harbour---Goolwa.jpg" alt="Boat Harbour, Goolwa" width="775" height="248" /> </span> </a> </td> </tr> CSS is in the head and separate styles.css Code: .thumbnail img { border: 1px solid white; } .thumbnail:hover { background-color: transparent; float: left; } .thumbnail:hover img { border: 1px solid white; } .thumbnail span { position: absolute; background-color: white; padding: 1px; left: -1000px; border: 1px solid black; visibility: hidden; color: black; text-decoration: none; display: block; } .thumbnail span img { border-width: 1px; } .thumbnail:hover span { visibility: visible; background: top; left: 0px; z-index: 50; } With thanks Angela I am using a CSS hover image enlarge which when you hover over a thumbnail, it then shows the large version. It works fine in IE7 onwards, but in IE6 the enlarged image is now showing at all when you hover over the thumbnail. Can anyone help? here is the HTML Code: <div id="side-b"> <div class="news-box-container"> <div class="sidebar"><img src="includes/side2barsmall.jpg" alt="" /></div> <div class="news-box"> <div class="staffpics"> <a class="p1" href="#" title=""><img src="includes/staffone.jpg" title="" alt="" /> <img class="large" src="includes/staffonelarge.jpg" title="" alt="" /></a> </div><!-- end staffpics --> </div><!-- end news-box --> <div class="sidebar"><img src="includes/side2barsmall.jpg" alt="" /></div> </div><!-- end news-box-container --> </div><!-- end side b --> here is the CSS Code: .staffpics { width:96px; } .staffpics a.p1, a.p1:visited { width:96px; height:78px; border:0px none; } .staffpics a img { border:0px none; } .staffpics a.p1:hover { color:#000; } .staffpics a .large { position:absolute; width:0; height:0; border:0px none; top:0; left:0; padding:0px } .staffpics a.p1:hover .large { position:absolute; top:125px; left:400px; width:300px; height:243px; border:10px solid #FABA32; padding:0px; } Am trying to solve an annoying IE problem: I have a menu which I has a background image which should appear when rolled over. Unfortunatly this works on Firefox but not IE. In internet explorer, nothing changes when the menu item is rolled over ( hovered ) .. any ideas?
