CSS - How To Position A Hover Pop Up For Links?
Hi. I created this test page and right now if you mouse over the link it will have a pop up details but that box is not on the right position.
How can I make that red box show up right below the link? Also is it possible to have the pop up box show up near the mouse pointer? Let's it the link is very long and when it's mouse over but moving to the left. Can I have that box follow the mouse pointer? Hope you know what I mean? Also if my links are at the end of the line in the browser(near the scroll-up-down bar) and my data inside the box contains multiple lines how can I make the content appearance won't change? Sorry if I didn't explain that clear but I really appreciate if anyone can help me on this. Thank you!!! Here's the link: http://yourbestproduct.com/test2.html Please view the source code on that link!!! Similar TutorialsHi Guys, Firstly, I'd like to apologise for posting this, this is my first css site that I'm working on and I've just noticed some problems that have appeared with testing with IE6 (I normally use Firefox and last time I tested in IE 6 things were working ok!) The problem is that my Block hover doesn't now seem to work and neither does my image border hover either. On top of that my positioning for 2 small boxes has suddenly gone a little awol too! Site is fine in Firefox, see here However when I check this in IE, the hovers and a couple of boxes have really messed up and I've spent hours with this, but not getting anywhere, so any assistance would be greatfully received! My style sheet is here Again, any pointers would be much appreciated Best regards Jon P.S I've been using Firebug with much success for Firefox, but not sure what to use for IE, any suggestions? I'm really tired, so this may be a dumb question. I'm having problems keeping thumbnails fixed in their position. I want them to have a 1px yellow border when I hover over them. I can get the border but when I hover over them the other images move slightly. I have the thumbnails set up inside a <ul>. Here's the pertinent CSS: Code: #thumbcontainer { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 10px 10px 0px 0px; width: 840px; background-color: #000000; } a img { border: none; margin: 4px 4px 10px 4px; } a img: link { border: 1px solid #000000; } a img: visited { border: 1px solid #000000; } a img:hover { border: 1px solid #e5cb43; } a img: active { border: 1px solid #000000; } ul.content { list-style-position: outside; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: none; background-color: #000000; width: 850px; text-align: center; } li.content { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type:none; } What are my options? Thanks in advance! Hey, Just making a site for a friend and I have run into a block with the Hover tag. It works fine in IE but for some reason other browsers aren't working properly... Any ideas? I have put my source underneath, sorry its squashed up. I have also loaded the site to the domain but won't put the link - not sure if I'm allowed.

The reason obviously being that the anchor is pushed bigger because the text content increases in size, thus pushing all following links around. I've solved this problem before for links on top of each other by defining a line height. My problem is specifically for links next to each other. I have solved this by placing each anchor inside a div and specifying a specific width for each. Although this works, it is not overly elegant. I was wondering if someone out there has a better solution to this? Thanks in advance. Good day, I am a newbie, both to CSS and to these forums. I recently undertook a job to update a website for a charity and am dealing with the previous webmasters coding, both html and css. I am trying to modernize the site a bit, it is very 1997. I am running into a bit of trouble with the hover class on one of my pages. When a link has been visited, it no longer changes color and highlights on hover. I read on multiple forums, this one included that it is because you must define hover last, after visited, active, etc. I did this, but still does not work. I am using Firefox 2. Here is the code I am working with, sorry that is is a bit lengthy, I don't know what parts are important or not because when I just change the hover, link, visted part it doesn't work.

Essentially what I want to happen is that the mouseover on the submenu changes the background color and the text color as well. I have done this using td:hover and ids and it works just fine in Firefox but not at all in IE. Why is this? I know this has been discussed loads. And I have read a tonne of articles telling people it cannot be done in pure CSS. But I wanted a little clarification. I want a hover: over a <tr>. Now Im not fussed if it doesn't work in IE5/6 even 7 (although obviously it would be nice!) its a little feature to help users. My app is internal, so as long as the CSS doesn't break the page, then IE users just wont get the hover, while others will. This is what I have: .result_lines{ background-color:#EAEAEA; } .result_lines tr:hover{ background-color:#666666; color:#FFFFFF; } Now, having not done this, I wasn't even sure if the order of my syntax was correct, so a little direction would be perfect. Note: I don't want to use JS. I don't know is it done before or not but i made it ,, i got rid of the onmouseover:crab tags but i think if you announce it as harmless I have use it again because I'll to write three times more code to get what i want with that hover thing. both functional in ie and ff css Code: .ortadiv:link {background-color:#EFEFEF;} * html .ortadiv {background-color:#EFEFEF;} /*hack*/ .ortadiv:hover {background-color:white; cursor:default} html -(my code looks like that) Code: <a class="ortadiv" href="#"><span><h5></h5></span></a> (it doesn't validates !) my main concern is about my headers , because when i use my css-hack-hover they becomes links with "#" . Is it affects search-engine things ? edit: I decided to not to use it because of my validating concerns hey there i was wondering why on hover the .indexThumbDiv dosnt display as a block in IE6 but in IE7 and firefox it does. head: PHP Code: .indexThumbDiv{display:none;} a.indexThumbA:hover .indexThumbDiv{display:block;} body: PHP Code: <a class="indexThumbA" href="link"> span class="indexThumbDiv"></span> <img src="link" width="120" height="120" border="0" style="vertical-align:bottom"/> </a> Hi there, I would like for the background of a text link to change colour when the mouse hovers over the text... no problem a:hover {background:#72b83c} However I would like to STOP the background of an image doing the same thing.... this I am having trouble with. I've tried a:hover img {background:none} a:hover img {background:none!important} But it doesn't seem to work (the background still changes behind the image (showing the colour around the left and bottom of the image). Can anyone offer any suggestions? Paul |
