CSS - Css Problem With Rollover Images

Good day all,

I have set up my index page for my site with css rollovers instead of javascript rollovers, and I really like the loading time, the problem that I am having is that when I click on the image rollover link there appears a white box around the image. how can this be avoided?

Please see the link below for what I am trying to explain...

thanks in advance...

i have a basic html page which includes a number of hyperlinks using jpeg images... essentially <img> tags wrappped in <a> tags.

i want to create a rollover effect with these links so that when a link is highlighted (mouseover) the jpeg image changes to another seperate jpeg impage.

is it possible to do this with html/css and if so how can i do this?

i have read about a method of doing this which combines both the original image (before mouseover) and the mouseover image into one single jpeg and changing the image's x-coordinate using css so that there is no preload/image flicker issues when the link is clicked on, but i'm not sure exactly how to code this.

any help is appreciated.

So, I'm pretty new to all this, and any help is really key.

So, on my site, I have a lot of rollover images. I may be breaking usability rules! The site has a lot of hand drawn elements that are supposed to act as nav. So, we implemented hand drawn nav that changes color when you rollover it.

The problem is that when you click on those rollovers, a big dotted box appears around the selected one... it looks especially tacky if you don't go over to the next page. All of these elements have this box.

Is there a way to tell the browser not to show that selection box??

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask, how to place a text over a rollover image. Most ppl recommend to set the image as background in table or div tag, but that would prevent to make the image a rollover. To put it simply, I want to create an effect, I have seen e.g. at ehow.com When you place your cursor on a button in the menu, the text gets underlined. When you place your cursor on a button in the submenu ("Browse How Tos"), the text gets ubderlined AND the image changes. Is this somehow a combination of rollover text and image? My question basically is: HOW DO YOU CREATE SUCH AN EFFECT?

Thank you for your replies,

I am trying to create a Horizontal Multilevel Drop Down Navigation Menu, but instead of the css creating text i would like them to be images and when you hover over the links they rollover into a new image.

I would really like your help on this been trying to do it for weeks now!!

Cheers

i have a problem with my rollovers. they work fine in ff and safari, and shockingly do not work in ie6. i've been at it for a couple of days now, and can't seem to make headway on it.

i'm also new to this forum, so im hoping i do this right:

free happy thoughts from me for whoever can help me out!

i have set up my navigation menu like so:
PHP Code:
<style type='text/css'>
   div#nav {
      border:1px solid #000000;
      background-color:#F2F2F2;
      height:auto;
   }
   div#nav a {
      display:block;
      color:black;
      border:1px solid #FFFFFF;
   }
   div#nav a:hover {
      color:red;
      border:1px solid #000000;
      background-color:white;
   }
</style>

<div class='nav'>
   <a href='page1.html'>Page 1</a>
   <a href='page2.html'>Page 2</a>
   <a href='page3.html'>Page 3</a>
   <a href='page4.html'>Page 4</a>
</div> 




the above works perfectly in Firefox, but doesnt in IE.
IE seems to keep around the fact that the <a> tag only encapsulates the text: Page 1, so the rollover effect only works in IE when the user hovers over the text and not anywhere in the row.
Does IE not understand the display:block? as i think this is whats causing it...

Hi there, well as i said i need some help from any CSS gurus.

I've been using the Trifecta rollever code ever since i found it in almost every page i've done. Just this week i found out that for some reason in IE when i use the vertical version of it, there's a 3px margin above the menu. I've tried changing every setting and resetting most elements margins, padding, and borders to 0 to no avail. I keep getting that ugly 3px margin.

Here's the latest example:

Example

You'll see the problem in the left and right hand menus, under Bussiness and under Client Zone, in both, the distance between the image and the first menu item should be zero. But IE shows an ugly 3 px margin ( btw, in the Bussiness side there's a bigger margin because i set it like that, but still there's an extra 3px..).

Here's the code used which is the exact code i took from the web and i just adapt it whenever.
This is from the menu on the right ( CLient Zone ), if you check it under IE, be it version 6 or 7 you'll see a 3 px margin on top of the menu...


Code:

#menu2{
			margin-bottom:6px;
			padding:0;
			border:0;
		}
		
		
		/* NAVIGATION BUTTONS 2*/
			.cssnav2	{
						position:relative;
						font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
						background-image:  url(../images/menus/menu2_on_1.gif);
						background-repeat: no-repeat;
						white-space: nowrap;
						display: block;
						width: 165px;
						height: 28px;
						margin: 0; 
						padding: 0; 
			}
			.cssnav2 a {
						display: block;
						color: #000000;
						font-size: 11px;
						width: 165px;
						height: 28px;
						display: block;
						float: left;
						color: black; 
						text-decoration: none;
			}

			.cssnav2 img {width: 165px; height: 28px; border: 0; }
			* html a:hover {visibility:visible}
			.cssnav2 a:hover img{visibility:hidden}

			.cssnav2 span {
						position: absolute;
						left: 40px;
						top: 0;
						line-height:28px;
						margin: 0px;
						padding: 0px;
						cursor: pointer;
						width: 118px;
						height: 28px;
						text-align: left;
						color:#646565;
						font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
			}

Thanks for any help.

Edit: I found something about a 3px bug with IE and floats, but i dont know if it applies in this case because first im not using floats and secondly that bug is supposed to be gone in IE 7.

Does anyone have have an idea of why the problem I am about to describe is happening?

View this link in IE 6:
paintingshiva.com / 2006rd / www / template / gallery.html

can't post url.. take out spaces between slashes
URL


This site is a prototype for my website that I am redesigning. The page above will be one of the gallery pages. Right now, I ma using colored circles as placeholder content.

Rollover the right side ART navigational elements (colored circles).

The weird circumstance:
When I rollover, two different nav elements one after another (except for the first one), the div where the title elements are, fold up into the main content area (where the large colored circle is). But if you rollover the first one after this happens, everything goes back to normal.

I can not figure out why this is happening.

I built the ART navigational elements by adding a background image to the style of the anchor tags. There is also a JavaScript at the top of the page that is changing the style of each element to make the rollover effect.

I have a menu with several links each of which has a span tag connected, when you hover over the link the span tag is revealed as a roll over text.

However I have also made the whole page (the page size is controlled by JavaScript) an anchor tag and placed a span for that, so there is a default text which is replaced by the other roll over text. This works fine in Firefox.

However, I'm having problems getting this to work properly in IE6. It doesn't reveal the span for the whole page, although the other links are ok, it also reveals the text if I hover over where the rollover text appears. I have validated the CSS and XHTML.

Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to go back to JavaScript?

I'm having problems with a navigation system I'm trying to build, it is fairly simple,

Mouse over, menu drops down.
right side of drop down there are several categories.
hover over them and 4 options show up on the left side, and image updates to the correct image.

works great, problem is when you try to roll back over to another option on the right, it stays where it was, there is no update for your mouse actions.
Does anyone have an idea how this could be fixed?

How do I get the menu there to center on the screen? Ive tried a number of things and nothings worked as of yet.

Or better yet, is there an easy way to make the menu on the left side going downward rather than left to right?

Either would be great.

thanks for the help.

I am developing a site that requires the navigation menu to have one rounded corner at the end on the home button. The default button state is created using a background image but I need it to also have a rollover effect on hover and also on focus (for the home page item only). I have tried to use CSS and curvy corners Javascript code to create the effect as I don't want to use images. However, I don't think the curvy corners script is picking up the div item that I want to apply the corner to.

The trouble is I have a number of div boxes on the site that also have rounded corners (3 rounded and 1 square). The CSS is working fine for these in all browsers apart from Opera but when it comes to the navigation it doesn't work properly in IE.

Here's the HTML for the menu:

Code:

<div id="menu">
	<ul>
	<li><a href="index.htm" class="home">Home</a></li><li><a href="#">Mortgages</a></li><li><a href="#">Life Assurance</a></li><li><a href="#">General Insurance</a></li><li><a href="#">Partnership Services</a></li><li><a href="#">About Us</a></li><li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>
<br class="clearfloat" /> 

and here's the CSS:

Code:

#menu {
	background-image:url(images/menubg.png);
	height:24px;
	width: 100%;
	overflow: hidden;
	position:relative;
	float:left;
	}
	
#menu ul {font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; list-style:none;}
#menu li{ display: inline; margin: 0;}
#menu ul li a {float: left;
	display: block;
	text-decoration: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 6px 15px 5px 15px; /*padding inside each tab*/
	border-right: 1px solid white; /*right divider between tabs*/
	color: white;
}
#menu li a:hover, #menu li a.focus {display: block; text-decoration:none; color:#445671; background-color:#d9e021;} /*background of tabs for hover state, plus tab with "focus" class assigned */

#menu li a.home:hover, #menu li a.homefocus { width:auto; text-decoration:none; color:#445671; background-color:#d9e021; border-right: 1px solid white;
/* Do rounding (native in Firefox and Safari) */
     -moz-border-radius-topleft:12px;
   	-moz-border-radius-topright:0px;
  	-moz-border-radius-bottomleft:0;
  	-moz-border-radius-bottomright:0px;
  	-webkit-border-top-left-radius:12px;
  	-webkit-border-top-right-radius:0px;
  	-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:0px;
  	-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:0px;
}

The CSS is in an external stylesheet, although I have also added the CSS for the rounded corner items to the header code.

The class 'homefocus' seems to work when applied to the a tag on the home page but the other class 'home' which should work on hover won't work in IE.

I'm sure it's something to do with the hover. Any ideas how I can make it work?

Hi all,
I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I can't get it.
I have a javascript rollover image swap, and can only get it to validate if I don't use the border="0" attribute.
The site is to be pure css, but the course requires me to use some javascript to show understanding.
So it works fine, but showing a blue border in ie, and a red border in mozilla.
My question is, if you can help, how to hide/get rid of the border, and have validate at the same time. Cheers Solar.
