CSS - Larger Image On Hover Over A Link - 2 Ways, Both Not Working!

Hi,
I have a link and an image next to each other. I want to make the link hovered when I do mouseover on image. How do I do that ?

Here is the code I have now.
<a href="javascript:undefined" id="imageLinkId">GMNA</a>&nbsp;

<script language="javascript">
if( ... ) {
document.write('<img src="/graphics/channel/plus.png" id="div18Img" alt="Maximize this section" onMouseOver= >'); }
else {
document.write('<img src="/graphics/channel/minus.png" id="div18Img" alt="Minimize this section" onMouseOver= >'); }
</script>

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a solution that I thought (hoped) would be simple. ...but of course is not.

I use sprites for rollover effects so the hover attribute just changes the background image position. Everything works cool with the rollovers. What I would like to do, is make a text link that when rolled over will change a separate background image to it's hover state. I should add, that the the rollover image has it's own div and is separate from where the text link is located.

To get a visual you can check the website (just remove the *)
*onholdmusicsource*.com

In the body section I would like to make each of the dark red section titles a link that when rolled over will change the hover state of the corresponding "more" button.

Comments would be fine
Ideas would be great
Solutions would be fantastic

Many Thanks-

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?

The code is:

Code:

#item, #item2, #item3, #item4 {
height:24px;
width:147px;
border:1px solid #dddddd;
padding-top:14px;
padding-left:15px;
}
#item:hover, #item2:hover, #item3:hover, #item4:hover { color:white; }
#item:hover { background-image:url(homeRollover.png); }
#item2:hover { background-image:url(aboutusRollover.png); }
#item3:hover { background-image:url(servicesRoll.png); }
#item4:hover { background-image:url(contactusRoll.png); }

Ok im not sure if this is possible the way i want to do it however, is it feasible to have a <div> of say 200x200 and and image of say 100x300 inside the division but overlapping the edges where it is too tall?

i will attempt to demonstrate

I have a drop down menu located at http://www.fieldspianos.com/new/index.php

If you hover over the menu items they turn black and white when you are right on the text but not if you are in the area surrounding it which is what I also need to occur. You can view the source on the page for the html but I will include the css below.

This is the basic layout of the menu:
Code:

<ul>
<li>About Us</li>
     <ul>
         <li><a href="#">Locations</a></li>

etc..etc..etc..


Here is the css:
Code:

/*Begin Content of drop down menu*/
a {
	outline:none;
}

* html div#dropdownmenu ul {
	float: left;
}

* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

div#dropdownmenu {
	float: left;
	background-color: #C8C6C6;
		font-size:11px;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li {
	list-style-type: none;
	float: left;
	background-color: #000000;
	position: relative;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover {
	list-style-type: none;
	background-color: #000000;
}


/*Hides drop downs when not overed over and reveals them when they are hovered over.*/
body div#dropdownmenu ul li ul {
	display: none;
}

body div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover ul {
	display: block;
}



div#dropdownmenu ul li ul {
	margin: 0;
	width: 13em;
	position: absolute;
	left: -1px;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li {
	width: 100%;
	background-color:#bdb35e;
	color: #660000;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
	border-left: 1px solid #000;
	border-right: 1px solid #000;
	padding: 3px;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li:first-child {
	border-top: 1px solid #000;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li:hover {
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color: #000000;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li a {
	color: #660000;
	text-decoration:none;
	outline: none;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li a:hover {
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color: #000000;
	text-decoration:none;
	outline: none;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover ul, div#dropdownmenu ul li ul:hover {
	display: block;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated, this seems like it would be a simple fix but I can't figure it out. Maybe I am overlooking some small detail. Thanks!

Not sure what this is referred to. I checked my dhtml book but its from 2000! I want to apply link, visited, hover, active to below code:

Code:

#print_category {
     position: absolute;
     left: 35%;
     top: 30%;
     font-size: 13px;
     text-align: left;
     line-height: 2 ;
     margin-right: 5em;
		}

Properties I want to apply:

A:link {color: #000099;
text-decoration: underline;
}

A:visited {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

A:hover {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

A:active {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

How can this be done, Ive tried but to no avail:

- A#print_category:active {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks!

Hello,

The hover link looks good on IE7 and FF but not on IE6

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.

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;}

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 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...

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;

}

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.

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!

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.
