CSS - Need Help With Link Hover To Display Content

Hello
I would like to make a hover effect when my mouse is over a link, as shown in my attachment.
What I want is, as shown in the attachment (at design time), when I hover on any link, two horizontal lines are added at the top and bottom of that specific link, and a slight black transparency appears as well as a highlighter (not the text of the link, and by default the background will be slightly grayed).
Anyone can help me with this?

Edit: even if the black transparency does not appear is not a problem, but how to implement the two lines? Am using only css and html here, no javascript or any other libraries.

I'm trying to have a hover effect on a link within a <td> tag. In firefox it works fine, but in IE it's not working. I wasn't sure if there's a special property in CSS to get it working. My CSS code is:

Quote:
.leftblock a{display: block;
border-top: 1px solid #ffffff;
font-weight: bold;
color: #21536A;
text-decoration:none;
background-color:#CCCCFF;
}



Quote:
.leftblock a:hover{border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color: #DDEEFF;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}



I added display:block to the a:hover class as well to try that to no avail.

http://www.sassyproducts.com/hover.php is where you can see what I'm working on. If you hover over anywhere on the first link, Fundraising, it adds the hover effect, but the other ones will only show the hover effect if you hover over the text. This is in IE. In FF, it works properly. Any ideas what I may need to add or change?... Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have links on my page that when visited, change color. Simple enough. I also have in my css a hover line that says change the color to white. This works on the unvisited links, but not the visited ones. Why?

Here is my css.

@charset "iso-8859-1";
.text {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #ffffff
}
.textCopy {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #CCCCCC;
hover: #ffffff
}
.textbigger {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #CCCCCC;
hover: #ffffff
}
a:hover {
color: #ffffff;
}
a:link {
color: #999999;
}

a:visited {
color: #747474;
}

a:active {
color: #CCCCCC;
}

body {
margin-top: 0;
background-color: #000000;

}

I have the following code, but the CSS file that I have already defines link and hover to be something else

Is there a way I can edit the div#hdr_cnt to have it's own definition of the hover and link?

Thanks for the help


Code:

div#hdr_ctr	{ width:100%; min-width:670px; background-color:#FFF; overflow:hidden; margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; color:#000000}

div#hdr_cnt { background: url('http://www.hobbyspeed.com/header/hobbyspeed.jpg') no-repeat center; width:670px; height:73px; margin:0 auto; padding:0;}	
	div#hdr_cnt ul.l { float:left; margin:15px 0 0 18px; padding:0; list-style-type:none; direction:rtl; text-align:right; color:#000000}	
	* html div#hdr_cnt ul.l { margin-left: 9px; color:#000000 }	
	div#hdr_cnt ul.r { float:right; margin:15px 0 0 20px; padding:0; list-style-type:none; direction:ltr; text-align:left;}

My layout contains a vertical navigation bar. It is split up into individual images. I have created a table to organize the sliced images. I am using CSS to create a hover effect. When you mouseover the table cell, the backgroudn changes (and changes back when the mouse is removed.) This is all peachy, but is it possible for me to change the colors of the text within that table cell along with the background.

Heres the CSS:

Code:

	.link_hover1{
	background-image: url("images/link_img_01a.jpg");
	background-repeat: repeat-n;
	cursor: pointer;
	width: 170px;
	height: 44px;
	} 
	td.link_hover1:visited{
	background-image: url("images/link_img_01a.jpg");
	background-repeat: repeat-n;
	cursor: pointer;
	width: 170px;
	height: 44px;
	} 
	td.link_hover1:hover{
	background-image: url("images/link_img_01b.jpg");
	background-repeat: repeat-n;
	cursor: pointer;
	width: 170px;
	height: 44px;
	} 
	td.link_hover1:active{
	background-image: url("images/link_img_01a.jpg");
	background-repeat: repeat-n;
	cursor: pointer;
	width: 170px;
	height: 44px;
	}

I tired implementing the font-color property. No use. does this have something to do with my 'td' selector? I have a feeling that this is the problem.

I wish to have links for the menu like this: http://www.tristarwebdesign.co.uk/templates/templates/karma/index.html

However, I wish to have MY OWN font style on each links as it can be seen on:

The only difference I want is that this guy has used "title" in order to display text on each "li" link, while I would like to use MY OWN font style instead as can be seen from my page on: http://members.lycos.co.uk/darsh25/Personal%20Website/contact.php

i.e. the font style that can be seen in links like About, Services, Owner, Template & Contact.

Code:

				
<li><a title="link six" href="index.html">link six</a></li>
<li><a title="link five" href="index.html">link five</a></li>
<li><a title="link four" href="index.html">link four</a></li>
<li><a title="link three" href="index.html">link three</a></li>
<li><a title="link two" href="index.html">link two</a></li>
<li><a title="link one" href="index.html">link one</a></li>

My links are saved as an "image" (both background & the text on it) & as far as I'm aware, I couldn't possibly "hover" EACH INDIVIDUAL image of EACH of these links using CSS, could I ???

I know that I could "hover" change the background colour, but then what about the text on it ??? Is it possible to use the same fancy font AND being able to change the background colour when hover to "grey" (just as it could be seen from the "tristar" website.

My CSS code so far is:

I am attempting to create a link on a page that will only appear when it is hovered upon. This is to direct an administrator to an admin page. Here is what I have attempted so far to no avail:

Code:

div.headleft {
    text-align: right;
    width: 100%;
}

div.headleft a:link {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:visited {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:hover {
    display: block;
    background: inherit;
    color: #ff0000;
}

div.headleft a:active {
    display: none;
}

I have tried a few variations to the above snippet of code and am at my wits end...

My gratitude ahead of time...

Is it possible to have a link where the user rolls their mouse over it, and an image appears on top of it?

I tried setting it as a background image, but it only fills the background of the text.

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm trying to make "tool-tip text" that I can position and style when a user rolls over a link.

I have an id called menuTipsAppointments that I want to keep hidden until the user rolls over my Appointments anchor. I'm starting with:

Code:

#menuTipsAppointments {
	display: none;
}

Then I do this:

Code:

a#appointments:hover {
	display:block;
	width: 30px;
	height: 61px;
	background-image: url(images/pin-over.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: top left;
	#menuTipsAppointments display: block;
}

The extra bits in this block (above the menuTipsAppointments id) are related to the link's FIR.

If my syntax is okay, I'm guessing that I can't do this with :hover, and am hoping for another way to go about it. This is my first site and is already quite messy, so whatever works is cool.

Many thanks!

Hello friends!

I have a menu item href called "underbar-tag0".
When I hover this: the background of the class changes - as you can see in the code.
Everything is fine.

But what I also want is that when I hover the href: a (another) floating div should get visible.

(First not showing, but when hover the menu href it gets visible)
(the name of the "invisible" Div is protip, the position of it is not important at the moment.)

This is what my HTML looks like.

Code:

<div class="protip"></div>

<div class="underbar"> <a href="" class="underbar-tag0">Click here.</a> 
</div>

This is what my CSS looks like.

Code:

.protip {
	height: 164px;
	width: 191px;
	z-index: 500;
	position: absolute;
	background-image: url(../../Root/recommended.png);
}
.underbar {
	height: 42px;
	width: 1100px;
}
a.underbar-tag0 {
	display: block;
	width: 90px;
	height: 32px;
	float: left;
	color:#000;
	background-image: url(../../Root/buy_blue.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: 0px 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	padding-top: 9px;
	padding-left: 40px;
	font-size: 16px;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	margin-left: 80px;
	font-weight: bold;
}
a.underbar-tag0:hover {
	color:#9C0;
	background-image: url(../../Root/buy_blue.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: 0px -45px;

I have searched the Internet very long time without answers.
Is this possible, like somehow link so when the class "underbar-tag0:hover" activates then "protip" is displayed?

Sorry if my English is bad, I am from Europe but I think you understand me.

I have my links, and a:hover does not activate when the link has been visited. Is there any special for a hover visted link or any way to fix this?

Whew, it's been a while sin'ce i've been here. Thanks in advance!

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">


 body {


 color: #000000;


 font-size: 12pt;


 font-family: Verdana;


 margin: 0px 0px;


 }


 A:link { text-decoration: none }


 A:visited { text-decoration: none }


 </style> 

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

Hi. Pleeease help!

I've created a CSS for a CMS but I'm having a problem with text color.

I wanted the links to change from black to white text when hovered over. I seem to have achived this . . . until they have been clicked, and then that function is disabled and they just stay black all the time.

I tried deleting cookies and temp internet folders. I tried using the :visited option in the CSS and putting color white in it and that didn't work.

Can anyone help?

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.
