CSS - Img Replacement With Onmouseover

I'm using the following method for replacing the h1's with images. The problem is that in IE7 the margins above and below the header image seems to be ignored. It works fine in Firefox and Safari. I can't figure this one out. Any ideas? Thank you so much for your help!

CSS:

Code:

.titleHome   {
background-image: url("../images/home_title.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-indent: -9999px;
margin-top: 16px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
width: 429px;
height: 42px }

HTML:

Code:

<h1 class="titleHome">Title Here</h1>

So I'm a student working on my first real project. I've done Suckerfish drop-downs before, but I'm having trouble doing them with graphic text instead of system text. The image replacement works fine on the first level, but the nested li's just repeat the image of the main li.

For example, the main nav item with the drop-down is "Our Coffee". In the drop-down menu instead of having the different images for the corresponding links, "Our Coffee" is repeated.

Here's a selection of my code where I think the problem is happening:

Code:

<div id="nav">
   	<ul id="dd">
       	<li id="hm"><a href="menu.html">Menu</a></li>
        <li id="au"><a href="about_us.html">About Us</a></li>
        <li id="oc"><a href="#">Our Coffee</a>
        	<ul>
            	<li id="oc_dd_ko"><a href="oc_kona.html">Kona</a></li>
            	<li id="oc_dd_ma"><a href="oc_maui.html">Maui</a></li>
            	<li id="oc_dd_ka"><a href="oc_kauai.html">Kauai</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li id="os"><a href="os_hy.html">Our Stores</a></li>
        <li id="ols"><a href="online_store.html">Online Store</a></li>
        <li id="oct"><a href="our_culture.html">Our Culture</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>  

Code:

#nav ul li ul li a {
	display: block;
	height: 0px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

#dd li#oc a {
	display: block;
	width: 95px;
}

#dd li#oc {
	float: left;
	width: 95px;
}

#dd li#oc ul {
	position: absolute;
	width: 95px;
	left: -9999px;
}

#dd li#oc:hover ul {
	left: auto;
}


#dd li#oc:hover ul, #dd li.sfhover ul {
	left: auto;
}

li#oc ul li a {
	height: 0px;
	display: block;
	overflow: hidden;
}

#oc_dd_ko a {
	background: url(../images/oc_ddnav-01_lo.gif) no-repeat;
	padding-top: 13px;
	width: 58px;
}

#oc_dd_ko a:hover {
	background: url(../images/oc_ddnav-01_hi.gif) no-repeat;
	padding-top: 13px;
	width: 58px;
}

#oc_dd_ma a {
	background: url(../images/oc_ddnav-02_lo.gif) no-repeat;
	padding-top: 15px;
	width: 58px;
}

#oc_dd_ma a:hover {
	background: url(../images/oc_ddnav-02_hi.gif) no-repeat;
	padding-top: 15px;
	width: 58px;
}

#oc_dd_ka a {
	background: url(../images/oc_ddnav-03_lo.gif) no-repeat;
	padding-top: 16px;
	width: 58px;
}

#oc_dd_ka a:hover {
	background: url(../images/oc_ddnav-03_hi.gif) no-repeat;
	padding-top: 16px;
	width: 58px;
}

#dd, #dd ul {
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
	list-style: none;
}

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to convert a jscript rollover setup to using CSS sprites.

I have setup the following sprite:

[IMG]eagleonedims.com/images/navmap.jpg[/IMG]

I cannot figure out how to have the <li> sections replace the entire ba6nner with a shifted-down sprite upon rollover. The shifted sprite just appears within the boundaries of the respective<li> section. The reason for needing this is to include the cloud effect which overlap the other li sections. Basically, upon rollover I need the ENTIRE navmap.jpg image to be shifted by 88px down. The image is 1000px wide and each sprite is 88px tall.

Thanks for any help!

CSS:
Code:

#navmap {
	width: 1000px;
	height: 88px;
	background: url("images/navmap.jpg");
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	position: relative;
}

#navmap li {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	list-style: none;
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
}

#navmap li, #navmap a {
	height: 88px;
	display: block;
}

#home {left: 141px; width: 110px;}
#about {left: 251px; width: 120px;}
#pricing {left: 371px; width: 120px;}
#quote {left: 491px; width: 120px;}
#contact {left: 611px; width: 120px;}
#login {left: 731px; width: 128px;}

#home a:hover {background: url("images/navmap.jpg") 0px -88px no-repeat;}
#about a:hover {background: url("images/navmap.jpg") 0 -176px no-repeat;}

HTML:
Code:

<ul id="navmap">
  <li id="home"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
  <li id="about"><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
  <li id="pricing"><a href="pricing.php">Pricing</a></li>
  <li id="quote"><a href="quote.php">Quote</a></li>
  <li id="contact"><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
  <li id="login"><a href="login.php">Login</a></li>
</ul>    

ok, so it's not exactly image swapping, but i'm trying to get this thing to work in Firefox (works in IE). My xhtml is as follows: Code:

<div class="foot">
	<img src="images/menubase.jpg" alt="see | hear | speak" />
		<a href="#" id="menu_see"> </a>
		<a href="#" id="menu_speak"> </a>
		<a href="#" id="menu_hear"> </a>

And the CSS: Code:

a#menu_see {
	position: absolute;
	left: 50%;
	top: 0px;
	width: 66px;
	height: 44px;
	margin-left: -105px;
	background: url(../images/holderMenuSee.gif) no-repeat fixed right top;
}
a#menu_see:hover {
	background: url(../images/menuSee.jpg) no-repeat fixed right top;
}
a#menu_speak {
	position: absolute;
	left: 50%;
	top: 0px;
	width: 74px;
	height: 44px;
	margin-left: -37px;
	background: url(../images/holderMenuSpeak.gif) no-repeat fixed right top;
}
a#menu_speak:hover {
	background: url(../images/menuSpeak.jpg) no-repeat fixed right top;
}
a#menu_hear {
	position: absolute;
	left: 50%;
	top:0px;
	width:61px;
	height: 44px;
	margin-left: 40px;
	background: url(../images/holderMenuHear.gif) no-repeat fixed right top;
}
a#menu_hear:hover {
	background: url(../images/menuHear.jpg) no-repeat fixed right top;
}

I'm trying to change text-color of a <h1> tag when the mouse hovers over it. I don't want to use the :hover css comand because I need this page to work in IE5. So I was thinking of using JavaScript and onMouseOver, but then I don't know how to change the color.
Maybe if I somehow could change the style-sheet that the h1 uses, but I don't know how I would do that...
So how do I change the color of a <h1> tag using onMouseOver?

I am trying to find a script so that when you mouseover any element in a standard table the entire column background color will change. Doing this with individual cells and even row bg changes is easy, though I am having problems with entire column changes. Any help?

hello,

I did search the forum for this but it may be unique, I am using css onmouseover effect to change the background image of my menu from one image to the other to ceate the lighted effect. I am also using text display over these images. The text also "lights-up" with the hover effect. the problem i have though is I would like the text part to "light-up" with the image when the cursor is over the image.... not like it is now with the image lighting up before the text.

see URL for details.

I realize I could just use an image entirly, but since my menu is generated by php, this is not an option.

Edit I did find one source for getByID, but i cannot seem to make it work.... help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

This could be argued that it belongs in a JavaScript forum but I think the core of the problem lies in where the information should go so I shall post it here.

What I have is a set of links that when hovered will change the contents of the rotating div to reflect information about that particular link. As the code stands now, whenever any other item is moused over, the div will reset to the default div.

What I would like to happen is whenever the top_content div is mousedoff (new word?), the content resets to the default.

Thus I should be able to hover over a link, change the content of the rotating div, and move from that link directly to the content and mouse around over there all I want without changing back to the default div.

To me, what I have should work in that I am thinking of nested divs as a parent/child relationship but that is obviously not how the browser is interpreting it. Any ideas on how I can achieve this? The JavaScript portion has been tested and works correctly.

Edited: This code also pushes the side menu into the border in Opera. This problem was addressed and fixed in a previous thread but I broke it again.

Hey all,

I am having a little trouble with some stylesheet/javascript. I am trying to change the style on mouse over of another element.

I have a DL with one DT & and one DD.

I would like to be able to change the style of the DD on mouse over the entire DL. I'd like to change the class 'background' to 'backgroundOver'.

The code:

Code:

<dl>
  <dt>
    <p>Text</p>
  </dt>
  <dd class="background">
    <p>Text</p>
  </dd>					
</dl>

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Cheers in advance.

I am about to go insane.. I am a total newbie to DHTML and Javascript and I am trying to do a onmouseover event to make an image display normally as a grayscale version of itself (with filter:gray) and when the mouse moves over it I want it to switch to the full RGB color version.

I tried to do a rollover with two seperate versions of the image and it worked, but for some reason IE 6 wants to load the image from the server again everytime I onmouseover or onmouseout. This is very slow, especially on my server.

I just want to change the image with DHTML filters..

General pseudocode:
<img src="blah.jpg" style="filter:gray" onMouseOver="style='filter:none'" onMouseOut="style='filter:gray'">

Can anybody help me? PLEASE???!?!?

Hi,

I've been running into a specific issue in projects for months now, and it's beginning to drive me nuts. I'm sure there must be a way to do what I'm trying to do.

The situation will usually be something like this:

I'll have a vertical menu in list form. All of the menu items are to be 150 pixels wide with a background image, and that background image will change when the link is hovered over. The links themselves, though, are not all the same text and therefore not the same width. I cannot get CSS to implement a width to links, and when using CSS like the below, that's a necessity to get the same width background hover image on each link.

CSS/HTML:
css Code:
Original - css Code <style type="text/css"> ul{} ul li{ background: url(someimage.gif) no-repeat #FFF; width: 150px; } ul li a:hover, ul li.active a:hover { background: url(someimage_over.gif) } </style> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link One</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link Number Two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link Three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link Number Four (4)</a></li> </ul>

  

  


 <style type="text/css">


 ul{}


  


 ul li{


 background: url(someimage.gif) no-repeat #FFF;


 width: 150px;


 }


  


 ul li a:hover, ul li.active a:hover  {


 background: url(someimage_over.gif)


 }


 </style>


  


 <ul>


 <li><a href="#">Link One</a></li>


 <li><a href="#">Link Number Two</a></li>


 <li><a href="#">Link Three</a></li>


 <li><a href="#">Link Number Four (4)</a></li>


 </ul> 

I hope that illustrates what I'm trying to get across, but maybe not. Basically, I need a way to use CSS to change the background of multiple areas of the same width within which the <a> sizes may not be the same.

I'm having trouble explaining this. Let me know if you need it further explained.. otherwise, I'd greatly appreciate any input. Thanks in advance!

hi all.

is there a way to change the css border-color attribute of a table with onmouseover? so the table, where the mouse is on, is highlighted in a new color?

thanks.
