CSS - Li:hover And A:hover Not Working Fully
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! Similar TutorialsHello, I'm having a problem getting my drop-down to appear in IE7. Works in IE8. Any suggestions? http://www.mo-pca.org Thanks, -Jamie why won't this work on internet explorer a:hover img { }. This is exactly what i'm using, it works on firefox but doesn't work on IE.

It works great in Firefox, but I can't for the life of me find why it isn't working in IE. I did this once with an Unordered List and it worked in IE, but now that I have used a table to structure the menu, it isn't working. here is the site: magicbeanz.blogsome.com I've attached the style sheet and html to this post. The relavent coding should be near the bottom. See #catmenu and the #books, #movies, #other, #hobbies, #games, divs. I really hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!! Oh, and I wouldn't mind some feedback on the coding and design. I'm back to working on my skills after a long break >< 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! ~Brendan Hello I'm a photographer trying to code my site myself, I'm a control freak and trying to learn css but coding is not my thing. I have two different rollover effects on my page but only one part is working. The links on the right of photo function correctly when I hover over them, but the links on top don't change as they should. a link to my css file Can anyone help me on this? I believe i have the order correct (a:hover follows link and visited) but i'm sure it's an easy fix. Sadly, not for me. Thanks for any help here is my site: chrisziebarth dot com/test My css file is located in /style.css 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. The page I am working with is at beverlyfoundation . org / library / index . html /* THE BASICS */ body { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #eaf5ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #c2d8ec; } p { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; } img { border: none; } a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #EAF5FF; } a:active, a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #E51322; } /* HEADERS */ h1, h2, h3 { font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 14px; } h1 { font-size: 220%; text-align: right; font-style: italic; } h2 { font-size: 140%; } ul { list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: square; } /* TOP COLORED LINKS */ .navcells { text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; padding: 2px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 11px; } #navlinks a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #EAF5FF; } #navlinks a:hover, a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #EAF5FF; } /* LAYOUT */ #header { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-attachment: fixed; background-image: url(../images/header_gradient01_bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: left top; } #content { padding: 10px 20px 10px 10px; background-color: #0060BE; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; font-size: 12px; } #rightcolumn { background-color: #0060BE; padding: 10px; width: 220px; font-size: 11px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #EAF5FF; border-right-color: #EAF5FF; border-bottom-color: #EAF5FF; border-left-color: #EAF5FF; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; } #splashrightcolumn { background-color: #0060BE; padding: 10px; width: 220px; font-size: 11px; } #rightcolumn img { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; } #rightcolumn p { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; } #rightcolumn h1 { font-size: 180%; text-align: center; font-style: italic; } #rightcolumn h2 { margin-top: 21px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; } #rightcolumn a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #EAF5FF; } #rightcolumn a:hover, a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #EAF5FF; } #threecolumn { padding: 10px; width: 220px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; font-size: 12px; } #threecolumn a:link, a:visited { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: none; } #threecolumn a:hover, a:active { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: underline; } #footer { color: #EAF5FF; padding: 10px; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; line-height: 14px; } #footer a { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: none; } #address { color: #EAF5FF; padding: 10px; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-color: #EAF5FF; border-right-color: #EAF5FF; border-bottom-color: #EAF5FF; border-left-color: #EAF5FF; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; } #address a { color: #EAF5FF; text-decoration: underline; } #address h2 { margin: 0px; } .threecolumns { color: #EAF5FF; padding: 10px; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; } .resourcestore p { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; } .gradientrow { background-image: url(../images/footer_bg01.jpg); } .copyright { font-size: 10px; } .resourcestore { padding: 10px; } Hi I have a horizontal menu made from a list.

I have a thumbnail image with a link below. When hovering over the link, I want the enlarged image to pop up. I've tried it 2 ways. Both are close, but neither works the way I want it. Perhaps someone can help tweak one of these options? Option 1 is he http://concrete-creative.com/temp/print/1.html **What I don't like here is that you can hover over a big, blank area below the link and the larger image pops up. I only want the linked text [JACK IT UP] to pop the larger image up. Option 1_B is he http://concrete-creative.com/temp/print/1_B.html **The problem here is the the larger image while INVISIBLE is sitting below the text [JACK IT UP] which is pushing my HTML table too wide. Can someone help me find the happy medium between these 2 solutions so it works the way I want it to? THANKS! please please somebody help me with this... i have given my links some effects with this code: Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- a img {border: none; } a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; border-bottom:3px double; color: #000000;} a.head, a.head:link { text-decoration: none; } a.head:hover { text-decoration: none; } //--> </style> it works fine on my links, but the class "head" doesn't seem to be effecting the link with that class....it still has the same hover effect as the other links. I have class="head" in the link tag of the element, but it still doesn't work. I want no effect on this link since it is an image and I don't want a double-underline on it. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the head image isnt being effected correctly because it is an include file, but I don't think that really matters. Thanks! Hi, First, I'm using the javascript/tutorial from http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ Visit http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/ . The spacing inbetween each image is fine, it's how I want it to be. However, view it in Mozilla first then in IE. Notice something? In Mozilla it does what it's supposed to correctly - have the 'main' background turn blue, and the sub-menu background turn green. However, in IE, this makes BOTH the 'main' and sub-menu background green, instead of keeping the main one blue. I have tried for the past 15 minutes trying to figure this out, but came up empty. I believe it's a problem in the javascript hover code, located in sfhover.js.... since that's what controls IE's hover and it works fine in Mozilla Could you look at the code and tell me whats wrong? http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/ http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/styles/xcage.css http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/scripts/sfhover.js Thanks. 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 have two images, A and B. When I hover over image A, B appears over A, where B is at 25% opacity. If I wanted to make B appear after A, I would use this: Code: .imageA:hover:after{ content: url("images/imageB.jpg"); } or before.. Code: .imageA:hover:before{ content: url("images/imageB.jpg"); } How do I make B appear on top of A or underneath it? Thanks, Andy Hi, I have found a nice feature on this website; click here When you mouse over grey - orange images another div comes out. What this is called? Is there any example code that I can work on? Thanks.
