CSS - A:hover, But Not For Images
if i want style changes for text links, but not image links, how would it work?
a:hover { mystyle } img a:hover { otherstyle } a img:hover { otherstyle } ..neither of these work Similar TutorialsHi, currently the css is set up to display a grey box behind whatever is rolled over...i would like to make it so that doesn't apply to images, kinda looks wonky. Here's the site, you'll see what i'm talking about, and the css code follows; Code: .borders { border: 1px solid #666666; } .footer { border: 1px solid #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color: #333333; } .prodborders { border: 1px dotted #999999; } .text { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #333333; } .headtext { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #333333; font-weight: bold; } table.menu { border:1px solid #666666; background:#FFFFFF; } table.menu a, table.menu a:link, table.menu a:visited { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#333333; text-decoration:none; } table.menu a:active, table.menu a:hover { color:#333333; background:#CCCCCC; } .noborder { border:0px; margin-top:0px; } ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; width: 92px; border-bottom: 1px solid #666666; backgound-image: url(images/no-pic.gif); } ul li { position: relative; } li ul { position: absolute; left: 91px; top: 0; display: none; } ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #CCCCCC; background: #FFFFCC; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #666666; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/ * html ul li { float: left; height: 1%; } * html ul li a { height: 1%; } /* End */ li:hover ul, li.over ul { display: block; } Thanks! 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. You can see it in action here. Code: a:hover img { border: 2px solid #fff; } A few people seem to have had the problem of the a:hover not working right in ie when applied to images. Mine is just applied to a standard bit of text. In my menu (CSS only, no javascript) the descriptions are "display:none" in the initial "a" state and then "display:block" in the a:hover state. Works in Firefox, but not ie. Any ideas? My page is at www.prioritypie.f2s.com/KSA/about.htm You can see the CSS by clicking on the first link on the left hand side of the page. Thanks to anyone who can take away the pain and swearing of the last couple of hours. what on hover effects for images CSS alows? for example can i make the image to turn in black and white on hover? or add a border? Hi, I'm trying to set up my (very basic, horizontal, no dropdown) CSS menu so that when a user hovers over the menu link items, the formatting changes and they basically get an image on mouseover (nothing more than changing the text colour and adding a curve on the left hand side, so it just looks like a selected tab). It kind of works but instead of the whole image showing it only shows in the area where the menu link text is, so instead of covering the height of the menu bar and a length I specify, it's just covering the actual word e.g "Home" in each case on the menu. I can't seem to get it so that on rollover the whole image shows. I've tried setting it so that the links have a background image (just a plain block from the nav bar) but that doesn't work. My CSS is: /* this is the bar where the menu is located */ .menuholder { width:1001px; height:2.19em; background-color:#0f2763; } /*holder for the menu */ div.navigation { margin-left:30px; padding-top:10px; } .navigation ul { list-style-type: none; position: relative; float: left; } .navigation ul li { display: block; padding: 0px 20px 0px 10px; display: inline; height:2.19em; } .navigation ul li a { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFF; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; line-height:18px; width:100px; height:2.19em; text-decoration:none; } .navigation ul li a:hover { color:#0f2763; background-image:url(/images/menutab.gif); width:100px; height:2.19em; } I've tried setting display:block; and float:left; on the .navigation ul li, but this makes the menu become vertical and throws the whole page out of sync. I tried this altrnative code, to no avail: .menuholder { width:1001px; height:2.19em; background-color:#0f2763; } div.navigation { margin-left:30px; padding-top:10px; height:2.19em; } .navigation ul { list-style-type: none; position: relative; float: left; } .navigation ul li { padding: 0px 20px 0px 10px; display: block; float:left; height:2.19em; } .navigation ul li:hover { color:#0f2763; background-image:url(/images/menutab.gif); width:100px; height:2.19em; background-repeat:no-repeat; } .navigation ul li a { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFF; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; line-height:18px; width:100px; height:2.19em; text-decoration:none; display: inline; } Any ideas or pointers gratefully received! Hi all, Erm, when you load a site, and then mouseover something, (css hover) the image, depending on the size, will not load straightaway, but perhaps after a .5 second flash, which makes it look a bit ugly. Does anyone know how to make the page load all the images, without having to mouseover first? Thanks! Robin So the typical reason that I see people's images disappearing on hover has something to do with repositioning and substituting new images, etc. My case is that my hover code changes the opacity, that's it, and only to about .4 at the very very most. My solution works when slowly mousing over the image, however rapidly hovering/leaving the image causes the image do disappear for a period of time, as though the browser is re-requesting the image. Maybe that's the case? I'm not an expert on CSS. I can't seem to include a link due to some "akismetspam" phrase not being found? 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! 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 know that td:hover isn't supported by all browsers but it is displaying some quirky behavior: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>My site</title> <style type="text/css"> #level0 table { border-spacing: 0; border-collapse: collapse; } /* end #level0 table */ #level0 table td { padding: 0; } #level0 #links_table { text-align: right; border-top: 1px solid #f1f1f1; border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f1f1; height: 242px; width: 265px; } /* end #level0 #links_table */ #level0 #links_table td { border-top: 1px solid #f1f1f1; border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f1f1; } /* end #level0 #links_table td */ #level0 #links_table td:hover { border: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 0; } /* end #level0 #links_table td:hover */ #level0 #links_table a { padding-right: 1em; } #level0 #rotating_image img { vertical-align: top; border: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 0; } /* end #level0 #rotating_image */ </style> </head> <body> <div id="level0"> <table id="main_table"> <tr> <td> <table id="links_table"> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 1</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 2</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 3</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 4</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 5</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 6</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 7</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="#">Link 8</a></td></tr> </table> </td> <td id="rotating_image"><img src="my_image.gif" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html> When I hover over the first cell, the top and bottom borders turns black but not the left, and all the right borders disappear. When I hover over the other cells, only the bottom border turns black. What I am trying to accomplish is when a table cell is moused over, the top, bottom, and left border of that cell turns from gray to black and the right border which is currently black turns white. Hi there, I would like for the background of a text link to change colour when the mouse hovers over the text... no problem a:hover {background:#72b83c} However I would like to STOP the background of an image doing the same thing.... this I am having trouble with. I've tried a:hover img {background:none} a:hover img {background:none!important} But it doesn't seem to work (the background still changes behind the image (showing the colour around the left and bottom of the image). Can anyone offer any suggestions? Paul 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. I have the following css Code: #navigation li { display: inline; background: url(Images/greenbg.gif) repeat-x center top; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin-right: 4px; float: left; } for the following html Code: <div id="navigation"> <ul> <li><a href=""><span>Menu1</span></a></li> <li><a href=""><span>Menu2</span></a></li> <li><a href=""><span>Menu3</span></a></li> <li><a href=""><span>Menu4</span></a></li> <li><a href=""><span>Menu5</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <br style="clear: both" /> and I can't figure out how to get the background to change when I hover. Anyone have any ideas? I tried this to no avail Code: #navigation a:hover li { display: inline; background: url(Images/greenbghover.gif) repeat-x center top; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin-right: 4px; float: left; } Thanks for taking the time to read my question. This works in FF but not IE6. What do I need to change to make it work I have borders around my images which are links and I want the border color to change on hover HTML Code: <a href="LisaClarkDesigns_About.htm"><img class="ImgNav" src="images/AboutNav.gif" alt="Click here to navigate to the About Lisa Clark Designs page." /></a> CSS for container Code: img.ImgNav { border: 1px solid #999999; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px; width: 52px; } CSS for hover Code: <a href="LisaClarkDesigns_About.htm"><img class="ImgNav" src="images/AboutNav.gif" alt="Click here to navigate to the About Lisa Clark Designs page." /></a> <a href="LisaClarkDesigns_Portfolio.htm"><img class="ImgNav" src="images/PortfolioNav.gif" alt="Click here to navigate to the Lisa Clark Designs Portfolio page." /></a> <a href="LisaClarkDesigns_Fees.htm"><img class="ImgNav" src="images/FeesNav.gif" alt="Click here to navigate to the Lisa Clark Designs Fees page." /></a> <a href="LisaClarkDesigns_Contact.htm"><img class="ImgNav" src="images/AboutNav.gif" alt="Click here to navigate to the Lisa Clark Designs Contact page." /></a> Thanks, Brad i have 2 divs div1 and div2 there is an image in div2 and there is a link in div1, by default the image in div2 is hidden and i have used #div2 img{ visibility: hidden; // also i tried display: none; } when i move the mouse over the link in div1 i want the image in div2 to appear following is my code #div1 a:hover #div2 img1{ visibility: hidden; or display: none; } the image in div2 is not appearing without using javascript or jquery can this simple effect be done by using css code can someone tell me the correct syntax to show the image please advice. thanks Hello: I would like to have a big font size of title on my web site for search engine optimuzation purpose, I wrap the title with a H1, then I define H1 in css as FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 34px; COLOR: #000000; in other place I also have A:hover {COLOR: #6460AD; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; the title I put in is a hyper link, so when the mouse hovers on the title, the title shown as underlined, I want it to be TEXT-DECORATION: none I don't know the syntax in H1 definetion to disable the underline 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 I want to change the color of an <a> when a list element is hovered over, using CSS. Is this possible? Or do I need to resort to Javascript? Code: <style> a { color: red; } #menu ul li:hover { background: red; color: white; } </style> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="home.html">Home</li> </ul> I can do a change to: #menu ul li:hover, #menu ul a:hover { background: red; color: white; } but the anchor won't change color on the li:hover, so it looks red on red. Hi guys, Was wondering if you could tell me where I'm going wrong with this. Basically I have used the class "WhiteBoldLinks" on some text BUT when the mouse goes over the link I cant get the underline and text colour to work which is assigned to the class "#WhiteBoldLinks a:hover" . How do I use this? Or have I coded it wrong? PHP Code: .WhiteBoldLinks { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } #WhiteBoldLinks a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #FF0000; } hey there i was wondering why on hover the .indexThumbDiv dosnt display as a block in IE6 but in IE7 and firefox it does. head: PHP Code: .indexThumbDiv{display:none;} a.indexThumbA:hover .indexThumbDiv{display:block;} body: PHP Code: <a class="indexThumbA" href="link"> span class="indexThumbDiv"></span> <img src="link" width="120" height="120" border="0" style="vertical-align:bottom"/> </a> |
