CSS - Rollover Background Color Issue

I can't seem to find this solution anywhere

I want an image rollover with CSS to work in IE, but IE hates me so I can't get it.

Here is one of my buttons:

CSS:
#tab_nav #home_tab {
background: url(images/home.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 97px;
height: 33px;
cursor: pointer;
}
#tab_nav #home_tab:hover {background: url(images/home-over.jpg) no-repeat; width: 97px; height: 33px; }


Here is the HTML too in case you want it:

<div id="tab_nav">
<div id="home_tab" onClick="javascript:window.location.href='index.php';"></div>
</div>

Now, the rollover works well in Mozilla, but it doesn't work in IE.

Does anyone know how I can acheive this?

Thanks

BTW, here is the page

Hey peeps,

having trouble getting background images to display rollOvers for a <td> tag in IE (pc and mac). Works fine in firefox and safari. Heres me code:

CSS:

Code:

.house_menu_cell {
	background-image: url(../images/nav/homes/glo_house_nav_bg_0.gif); cursor:pointer;
}
.house_menu_cell:hover {
	background-image: url(../images/nav/homes/glo_house_nav_bg_1.gif); cursor:pointer;
}

HTML:

Code:

<td class="house_menu_cell">

Any help would be great. Ive spent about an hour trauling the net with no luck!

Hello,

If you visit: http://tombraiders.net/katie/jsquared/ecad_working.shtml

User: letme
Pass: in

and view it in FireFox, IE7 you'll see the intended results (a few of the ASIC slots have rollovers, this is important to see)

In IE6 when I rollover the boxes that are supposed to have popups, it doesn't work.

Now I know it's conflicting with a style in my stylesheet on this line:

.content li a { background:url(images/list_bull.gif) center left no-repeat; margin:0; padding:0 0 0 19px; color:#434343; line-height:2em;}

Also, the list_bull.gif controls the bullets, so I need this to still function. However, on the specific page with the rollover diagram you'll see they're sitting beside the boxes that have a rollover, and I will need a fix for this as well.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

I am going to heck right now trying to get this navigation to work.

Here is what it is

A horizontal list based navigation that has a unique background for each of the 6 choices. It will also have a rollover effect on the background and the text when the user is on that item. The links will be text but the background will be an image. How do I set each item's background to the correct width and height pixel wise?

Hi guys. This is my first post and I'm relatively new to CSS so I apologize if my post reeks of newcomer!

I'm currently setting up my site with an external stylesheet. Everything has been coming along fine until I decided to setup a menu with css rollover image links. For some reason I simply cannot get the image to appear whatsoever. Everything else is working (such as position and size (I have temporarily given it a border for locational purposes)) within the code but the image just does not appear.

I have looked this up for some time now and cannot come to a resolution. I have tried altering the code, changing paths, etc. etc. But I can't get it. Would really appreciate some help.

Here is the rollover portion of my css:

Code:

 #rollhome 
	{
	display:block;
	float:left;
	margin: 0 auto;
	width:122px;
	height:50px;
	text-decoration: none;
	background-image:url("images/topmenu_home.png") no-repeat 0 0;
	border:#000000 solid 2px;
	text-indent:-99999px;
	z-index:20;
}

#rollhome:link, #rollhome:visited
{
background-position: 0;
}

#rollhome:hover 
{
background-position: 0 -50px;
}

And here is the rollover portion of my html:

Code:

<div id="rollovers">
<a id="rollhome" href="#"title="rollhome">Home</a><
/div>

Any help would be most appreciated!

Disregard pot

I simply transposed li and a tag

thanks anyway...

Hey,

I have a problem with IE and my CSS.

I have a table with a background-image and I wan that to change to a certain color on rollover.

div.special {background-image: url(../images/pinkfade_bg.gif);}
div.special:hover {
background:#F8F8F8;
}
div.normal {
background:#FFFFFF;
}
div.normal:hover {
background:#F8F8F8;
}

Now this works fine in Mozilla, Safari etc. Just not IE

Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I just worked for two days to make my menu work on IE6. Now it works perfectly on IE6, but ironically it doesn't work on IE7 anymore.

Basically, I have a two line menu bar. Each line consists of 9 squares, some are images that are links and some are just decoration images. Each line ("menu1" and "menu2") is an unordered list, with a background image of one of the menus.

When one of the link squares is hovered, I want just this square to show a different place on the bottom of the background image.

So what doesn't work?
Only IE7 doesn't recognizes the link squares as links. No hover, No link. I can't navigate anywhere in IE7...

Please help me...!!

I've attached the relevant code, added comments and colored the parts that I think might cause the problem.

html:

Code:

	<div id="globalnav">
    
		<ul id="menu1">
        	<li id="nav_home"><a href="../home/" title="Home">home</a></li>
        	<li id="nav_about"><a href="../about/main.htm" title="About us">about us</a></li>
      		<li id="nav_recruit"><a href="../recruit/" title="Recruit">recruit</a></li>
		</ul>

	  	<ul id="menu2">
       	  <li id="nav_company" name="nav_company"><a href="../company/outline.htm" title="Company">company</a></li>
       	  <li id="nav_clients" name="nav_clients"><a href="../clients/clients.htm" title="Clients">clients</a></li>
   		  <li id="nav_contacts" name="nav_contacts"><a href="../contacts/" title="Contacts">recruit</a></li>
	  	</ul>
        
    </div>

css:

Code:

@charset "utf-8";

/* Box for the entire menu (two rows of ul) */

#globalnav	{

#nav_contacts a:hover {background: transparent url(../images/menu2.jpg) -600px -62px no-repeat;} 

/* Active menu items */
/* This part just makes the page we are currently in appear as hovered - works fine in all browsers */

body#home #nav_home			{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) 0 -62px no-repeat;}
body#about #nav_about		{background: transparent url(../images/menu1.jpg) -225px -62px no-repeat;}

body#contacts #nav_contacts	{background: transparent url(../images/menu2.jpg) -600px -62px no-repeat;}

By the way - before changing it, I had all the squares in a table. Worked on IE7, but not IE6.

Oh and I'm using transitional DTD. is that ok?

hey guys. wanna use an UL as navigation. my problem is I am unsure how to get this centered and get that tail of black off. here is the code.

Hi guys I am trying to place a top menu on the side of my site, I can't seem to get the rollover to work. This is what I have on my css. Thanks in advance

#topmenu ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 20px;
padding: 0;
}

#topicons {
width: 76px;
position: absolute;
left: 800px;
background: url(../images/top-icons.gif);
margin: 0px;
padding: 50px;
height: 146px;
}


#topicons li {
list-style-type:none;
margin: 0;

}

#topicons li a {
background-image:url('../images/top-icons.gif');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: block;
height: 44px;
text-indent: -9999px;
overflow: hidden;
}

#topicons li a.item1 {background-position:0px 0px;}
#topicons li a:hover.item1 {background-position:0px -49px;}

#topicons li a.item2 {background-position:0px -90px;}
#topicons li a:hover.item2 {background-position:0px -144px;}

#topicons li a.item3 {background-position:0px -188px;}
#topicons li a:hover.item3 {background-position:0px -280px;}

hi, yeah I got a rollover menu working on my comp (localhost), but when I view it from outside my LAN (MSIE v6) my rollover events are not working; the menu item text is not changing colour on rollover, and my sub menu is not coming up either. does this ring any bells?

help much appreciated!

Having an issue with the background color in a div.

The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox.

I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items.

Here is the css:

div#nav {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
background-color: #EAE9E4;
}

#nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; }

#nav li {
list-style: none;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 15%;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 20px;
white-space: nowrap;
}

Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color.

Any help appreciated.

i wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color.
is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ?
any thoughts ?

Hi there people,

I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself.

I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer".

Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question.

Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it).
So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes?

Tnx, Dwight

Hey Guys!

I'm going absolutely bonkers trying to find out how to change the color of the background of a certain element on my site. I installed Vanilla forums on my site and am trying to customize the css script.

If you look at the page, you will see an annoying white in the body. I am trying to make the background of that #F6F6F2. Could you guys possibly put me in the right direction?

Thanks!
