CSS - Changing H2 Color On Ul Li A:hover

Hi, I just want to change the color when I mouseover an href without a style sheet. This does not work:

<a href="test.html" style="a:hover { color: #DA8525; }">Test</a>

Is that suppose to work?

I have these two areas.

Code:

.MenuItem {
	color:#FFFFFF;
	font-size:12px;
	background-color:#CC0000;
	font-weight:bold;
	height:18px;
	padding-top:5px;
	padding-bottom:5px;
	border-top:0px solid #FF0000;
	border-left:2px solid #FF0000;
	border-bottom:2px solid #FF0000;
	border-right:2px solid #FF0000;
}

.MenuItemTop {
	color:#FFFFFF;
	font-size:12px;
	background-color:#CC0000;
	font-weight:bold;
	height:18px;
	padding-top:5px;
	padding-bottom:5px;
	border-top:2px solid #FF0000;
	border-left:2px solid #FF0000;
	border-bottom:2px solid #FF0000;
	border-right:2px solid #FF0000;
}

which refer to the left nav.

My code only changes the color behind the text, not the entire area (box) behind the text.

Code:

.MenuItemTop a:hover, .MenuItem a:hover {
	color:#FFFFFF;
	text-decoration:underline;
	font-size:12px;
	background-color:#000000;
}

Any ideas why?

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.

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.

Hi. I am having dificulty getting a menu item to change colour and background colour when mouse over

http://www.des-otoole.co.uk/HC2010/holidayclub.php

any reason as it is at the end of the style sheet code

Code:

#tabnav a:hover
{
	background: #bfbfbf; 
	color: #f05320;
}

Hi there,

I am trying to create a link which will have a bacground colour appear "around" it when on hover. I currently have a background image, but I tried adding a margin with a background color, but it is not working.

This is my code:

PHP Code:
 a.button{
background-image: url('img/button.png');
height: 22px;
width: 210px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: underline;
padding: 3px 0 0 5px;
margin: 20px;
}

a.button:hover{
background-image: url('img/button.png');
height: 22px;
width: 210px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: underline;
padding: 3px 0 0 5px;
margin: 20px;
background-color: #f6f6f6;
} 





Any ideas how I can acheive this?

Thanks

For some reason I cannot explain, IE6 is re-sizing (shrinking) a div when you mouse-over the second-to-last link in it when the a:hover css sets a background-color!?

Mouse-over the second-to-last link here (about this site):
URL

Mousing over the last link restores it, and if you go from the last link to the second last link it does not shrink it.

It's not doing it in Firefox, and it doesn't do it if the bottom link is not the last bit of text on the page.

This page has the same problem, except if you go down to the second-last link in September 2004, it does not exhibit this behavior, because the last link in the September 2004 div is not the last line of text in it.

URL

Help appreciated. I'm going crazy!

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!

Is it possible to change the mouse cursor to a "hand" when hovering over a <input type="submit" /> ?

Thank you

hello, Im running a website that uses the hover css style to change the button from a darker colored text to a lighter colored text (two different images) but when I go to the web page and hover over it it disappears, only for a second but its still annoying, and then replaces it with the new image. is there any way to get rid of this brief disappearance?

Ok I simply cannot figure this one out. All I'm trying to do is change the font color so that the text like "Choose a Username" is not black but white.

Here is the link to the page
http://www.technicalhypnotherapy.com/wordpress/?page_id=128

This is my CSS. I think the more relevant tags are the last ones.

hi,
iam having a div tag in that div i have table..

<div style="width:658;height:265px; overflow:auto;" >
<table>
</table>
</div>

now i need to change the color of scroll bar of this div tag.

i tried with this the css
.myScrollBar {
scrollbar-face-color: #FF0000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #0000FF;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #00FF00;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FF00FF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #00FFFF;
scrollbar-track-color: #FFFF00;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;}

<div style="width:658;height:265px; overflow:auto;" id='myScrollBar'>

but its not working..
Regards,

hover color for an individual piece of link on a page full of links.
So not like this in the header:
Code:

<STYLE>
a:hover {color:#FF0000}
</STYLE>

but something like this, but then it has to work :
Code:

<a href="page.html" style="hover-color:#FF0000;">
Link text</a>

I noticed that 'text-decoration: none' works in the second way, but i dont know how this hover color has to be done in that way.

Alright - so I just changed my Java Script based navigation menu over to a CSS based menu for better search engine crawling and easy of use.

Here's what I want, and can't seem to do: The original font color of a the links is "white". Easy enough. When you mouse over the link it turns light grey. Looks great! This part works wonders.

Here's the problem...When you visit a page in the navigation, the "hover: change color to grey" doesn't work anymore. Instead of remains solid white.

Is there a fix/trick to making it work so that always always when you hover over these links they change to grey. Whether the link is active, or already visited, it turns grey during hover.

Thank for your help! To see this in action visit Window Film and More.com and take a look at the left navigation.
