Hi there,

I have an image rollover css script, but it will not understand a:active so is there a way I can use an inline a:active attribute?

Many thanks!

Can I Shrink Wrap A Text Link With Sliding Bg Images & Still Display The Link Inline?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

PROBLEM: I create a nice button using the sliding doors technique for rounded corners. But the button displays with 100% width unless I float it. My layout requires that the buttons be inline with the text, so floating won't work. Anyone know an alternative?

I wouldn't mind floating but I want the button to show inline with the text. When I use float:left, it removes it from the inline flow.

Basically, I want a very modular button that can be used in several different places on a page. In many cases, floating is fine because the mockup has it out of the inline text, but I want to use it there, too.

Here's the HTML:

<a class="button" href="#"><span>Update Profile</span></a>

Here's the css:

a.button:link, a.button:visited {
background:url(button_right.gif) no-repeat right top;
}
a.button span:hover, a.button span:active {
background:url(button_left_hover.gif) no-repeat right top;
}
a.button span {
background:url(button_left.gif) no-repeat left top;
color:#fff;
cursorointer;
display:block;
height:20px;
line-height:20px;
margin:0 2px 0 0;
padding:0 10px;
position:relative;
white-space:nowrap;
}

Whats' wrong with this? a:active doesn't seem to work at all:
Code:

<style type="text/css">
#navcontainer
{
	margin: 5px 0 0 5px;
	padding: 0;
	height: 20px;
}
#navcontainer ul
{
	border: 0;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	list-style-type: none;
	text-align: center;
}
#navcontainer ul li
{
	display: block;
	float: left;
	text-align: center;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
}
#navcontainer ul li a
{
	background: #000000;
	width: 80px;
	height: 18px;
	border-top: none;
	border-left: 1px solid #9B9B9B;
	border-bottom: none;
	border-right: none;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0 0 5px 0;
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #26DC18;
	font-weight:bold;
	text-decoration: none;
	display: block;
	text-align: center;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover
{
color: #930;
background: #f5d7b4;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:active
{
	background: #000000;
	color: #fff0000;
}
</style>

HTML
[CODE<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="inventory.php">Item two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item four</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item five</a></li>
</ul>
</div> [/CODE]

P.S. I just include this menu in a PHP page. We'll that will work iff you put # on the target page but that must not be.

Thanks!

Display: Inline Javascript Causing Bg-color To Show Through In Ie6

good day,

long title, i know

this problem is very tricky and i have spent much too long on it, so i decided to ask it here.

i have a site that is currently live, and in need of a great css artist to check out a bug for me.

i have tested in firefox, ie 7 and safari, and all work fine, but in IE 6, when i use jscript to hide and show a <div></div>, for some reason, half a DIFFERENT <div></div> disappears, and turns into the bg-color.

it's very peculiar since the <div></div> tag which gets messed up is seemingly unrelated

if anyone has any quick recommendations, then i'd appreciate it, otherwise let me know and i can pm the login and pass to someone to check it out (i dont wanna post it on here since it im trying to keep the project under wraps right now)

Active Link

is there a method similar to active, so when the user clicks the link it changes style but keeps the style change (after the mouse button is released) until the link is clicked a 2nd time at which point it goes back to its initial state and so on.

Active Link On Menu

Hi,

I have this in the html and so on for each page

<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li class="current"><a href="one.htm">one</a></li>
<li><a href="two.htm">two</a></li>
<li><a href="three.htm">three</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Then css:

#nav ul li.current a{
background:#CCCCCC;
color:#000000;
}

But I don't want the first page's link to change colour until it is
clicked. Otherwise the menu comes up with first link always
active before anything has been selected. It looks wrong.

Is there anyway around this in css?

Thanks,

Need Help To Fix Active Link Problem

Hi, I need some help to design an image based menu. I have been trying it for a week now but still could not achieve and going little bit mad.

(Ive rewritten the same problem clearly this time hope someone can help me out)

My menu image consists of 4 sections and 3 layers which looks like this: img26.imageshack.us/img26/1268/menux.gif

1.home 2.archives 3.news 4.about - (layer 1 unvistided link)
1.home 2.archives 3.news 4.about - (layer 2 hover link: mouse over)
1.home 2.archives 3.news 4.about - (layer 3 active: shows what section the visitor on afer clicking and going to that page) and my problem is with the last layer.

I created the pages via admin panel of wordpress but give the links in the header.php manually myself without using codes.

so the links of each section are like this

home=http://localhost/wordpress/
archives=http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=2
news=http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=35
about=http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=31

You can see my codes for CSS and PHP files below. Could you please have a look at my codes and provide the right code. The menu at the moment works ok except from the active side of it. I tried to give class id like "active" but failed to get it worked so please please change my wrong codes.

PHP code:

Code:

<ul id="nav">
   <li id="home"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/">home</a></li>
   <li id="archives"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=2">archives</a></li>
   <li id="news"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=35">news</a></li>
   <li id="about" class="last"><a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=31">about</a></li>
		</ul>

CSS Code:

Code:

#nav {
     list-style: none;
     padding: 0;
     margin: -105px 25px;
     width: 332px;

			.about ul#nav li#about a, .about ul#nav li#about a:visited, .about ul#nav li#about a:hover { background-position: -252px -60px; cursor: default; }

The main problem i can understand from the earlier discussion
is that i need to give id class for active links in header.php code but i also need to rewrite the last four lines of css code according to the codes i wrote in php file. Can someone please help? Can someone please add or rewrite the active bit (in css codes - last 4 lines from the bottom) and in php file. please.

Image Rollover On Active Link?

Hi everyone,

I have a menu whereby when it's active it is highlighted by two combining images. Whenever the active link is hovered over the image disappears.

I'd like for the image(s) to stay put when it's active and the cursor hovers over it. This particular .css file is above my pay grade and I'm not confident I can do this and have it look good across all browsers.

Just click on the header links and hover over it to see what I'm talking about. Thanks for any input, here's the site...

			.contact ul#menu li#contact a, .contact ul#menu li#contact a:visited, .contact ul#menu li#contact a:hover { background-position: -252px -60px; cursor: default; }

i think the problem may be with the last 4 lines of CSS code because they are related to the active links but dont know how i can find out the problem.

thank you for any single suggestions and comments.

Link, Visited, Hover, Active

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.

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?

I am trying to create a horizontal navigation bar.

Everything is exactly how I want it except the a:link, a:visted, a:hover, a:active are the standard default colors and not what I specified. Even the background color changes - just not the font color.

Here is the css code: Code:

/*top bar settings*/

#topbar {
	float: top;
	height: 20px;
	background-color: #5094f9;
	clear: both;
	padding-left: 10px;

	font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #FFFFF;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-weight: bold;
}

#topbar a:link, #topbar a:visited {
	background-color: inherit;
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #FFFFF;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-weight: bold;

#topbar a:hover, #topbar a:active {

	text-decoration: none;
	color: #50949;
	font-size: 14px;

#topbar ul {

	padding: 0;
	padding-top: 2px;
	margin: 0;
}

#topbar li {
	display: inline;
	margin-right: 160px;
}

Here is the html code: Code:

  <div id="topbar">
  	<ul class="horiz">
		<li><a href="/home.html">Home</a></li>
		<li><a href="/about_us/about_us.html">About Us</a></li>

Inline A:link (etc) Styles

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I need to create signature files for (Outlook) for my group. Until 2 days ago I knew nothing about css but I am learning. Coz Outlook only picks up the body from an html file I cannot use external css sheets, so all coding must be done inline. Only thing I can't figure out is the style for a weblink.

Here's s snip of the relevant line:
<a href="http://www.blabla.com.au" style="font: bold 8pt arial,sans-serif">
<span style="color:#ef812a; font-decoration: underline">www.blabla.com.au</span></a>

The code (probably shabby) renders fine in Dreamweaver, but the sig in Outlook the underline shows blue - I want the underline for any link (visited, not visited) to show as #ef812a which is sort of orange. I can't figure out how to insert the a:link etc stuff.

Defining Link Attributes With Inline Styles?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hello. I'm trying to figure out a way to define link states (link, active, hover, visited) using an inline style or in a manner other than specifying via an imported or embedded style sheet. The project I'm working on involves designing an HTML email (template) with links that have formatting specified. Some webmail providers (particulalrly gmail and hotmail) seem to strip the away all code from the BODY tag on up (I assume to avoid conflicts with their own formatting), making formatting a very creative endeavor. Anyhow, without specifying these attributes in the header, is there any other way of doing this? The best I can figure out is specifying a link color, but without allowing for changes on visited, active, or hovered links. I've been googling for hours, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I know the prevailing attitudes on plain text vs html formatted emails and how it ties into spam, etc. I assure you this isn't being done in the context of spam, but rather, an opt-in newsletter for a client interested in sending fully formatted newsletters. :-)

Markup on .html page is as follows:

Code:

<div class="prioritycontainer">
<div class="prioritybutton"><a href="one.htm">One</a></div>
<div class="prioritybutton"><a href="two.htm">Two</a></div>
<div class="prioritybutton"><a href="three.htm">Three</a></div>
</div>

Any help would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Brian
