CSS - Change Background-color On A:hover

I have a button which is drawn using css background-image and it has a hover effect using css a:hover. I also need to have a click state for this button, so that each time the button is clicked it switches between two different states (4 states total). Is this possible? I'm assuming this will probably require JavaScript which I have little experience. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,

I am trying to set background color on hover for a single table of links, rather than the entire document like the below example shows.

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pseudoclasses/

I have tried various ways, I do not want to use javascript for this and I am aware of the way to apply background color to the .td field but this also applys to the normal text not just links.

So my question is how do I apply the background hover color to one table of links instead of the body. Thanks!

I am working on modifying a drupal theme style sheet. I am having trouble over riding a table row hover background color.

The style sheet has the background color defined as
Code:

.block .menu a:hover { background-color:#ecf4f8; }

I am working in the footer block trying to over ride the background color as transparent. Everything I try is not working. The theme has a bunch of these classes defined as "Power" Hover Classes.

So, back to my footer block modification. Here are the inherited classes when I inspect the element, pinpointing the background-color for hover that is not being overridden for transparent.
Code:

 div.node .field .field-label-inline, div.node .field .field-label-inline-first, .node-links ul.links:hover, .comment-links ul.links:hover, .view .grouped-admin:hover, .multistep li.active-step, .form-text:focus, .form-textarea:focus, .form-select:focus, .prose a:hover, table tr:hover td, table td.active, .block table tr.active, .block .menu a:hover { background-color: #ECF4F8; }

Can anyone help me write a css over-ride in my footer block for this?

Hi there,

I am trying to create a link which will have a bacground colour appear "around" it when on hover. I currently have a background image, but I tried adding a margin with a background color, but it is not working.

This is my code:

PHP Code:
 a.button{
background-image: url('img/button.png');
height: 22px;
width: 210px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: underline;
padding: 3px 0 0 5px;
margin: 20px;
}

a.button:hover{
background-image: url('img/button.png');
height: 22px;
width: 210px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: underline;
padding: 3px 0 0 5px;
margin: 20px;
background-color: #f6f6f6;
} 





Any ideas how I can acheive this?

Thanks

For some reason I cannot explain, IE6 is re-sizing (shrinking) a div when you mouse-over the second-to-last link in it when the a:hover css sets a background-color!?

Mouse-over the second-to-last link here (about this site):
URL

Mousing over the last link restores it, and if you go from the last link to the second last link it does not shrink it.

It's not doing it in Firefox, and it doesn't do it if the bottom link is not the last bit of text on the page.

This page has the same problem, except if you go down to the second-last link in September 2004, it does not exhibit this behavior, because the last link in the September 2004 div is not the last line of text in it.

URL

Help appreciated. I'm going crazy!

I have a table that contains a links in each cell. However, when I set a style to change the background with 'a:hover' it only changes the area around the link text. What I want is to change the background of the entire cell containing the link. TIA.

Hi All,

Anyone know of a way to change acheive this behaviour?

I want to have several links in LI and when one hovers over the LI, the background of the whole UL changes (not just the background of the list item itself).

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Cheers,

:)Ben

I am using a Wordpress template called Arthemia Premium. I want to change the background color in the headline section, but nothing "sticks" when I change the hex color codes in the style.css.

Tell me what to post here and I will.

Thanks

BTW I have very basic knowledge of CSS

hey guys, this has been bothering me for several days and really don't think theres a solution to it, but I might as well post it up to see if anyone else has a similar problem. the problem is when using CSS to change background colors on rollover, it is being slow in IE, but works perfectly fine in firefox. this, however, only happens when I have an extra div beneath the rollovers. i can't really explain it well, so I will show you what i mean. on the following page of a website I am developing you there are rollover effects on the right hand side for 'galleries' 'site statistics' and even the div below that. the link is:

http://rollinlow54.com/galleries/

now, in firefox, the background change is instant, no lag whatsoever. in IE, there is a good bit of lag, driving me crazy. so i played around with it forever, and realized that the only way to prevent IE from lagging is to remove the div with 'popular galleries'. so i did that he

http://rollinlow54.com/fixme.php

Here is the CSS for the code in the first page:

Code:

#links a 
{
margin-left: 8px;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 4px;
padding: 3px;
text-decoration: none;
width: 170px;
float: left;
background-color: #3A628A;
color: white;
font-family: arial, verdana, sans serif;
font-size: 11px;
}

#links a:hover
{
text-decoration: none;
background: #0A2F54;
}

that controls the 'galleries' 'site statistics' and other main links, and there are similar controls for the 'popular galleries' div beneath that. here is the HTML:

Code:

<div id="links">
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">galleries (18)</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">site statistics</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">download my resume (pdf)</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">contact information</a>
    <a href="http://rollinlow54.com/">visit company site</a>
</div>

there are similar HTML controls for the 'popular galleries' links as well. is there anyway around this??

I'm trying to create a hover effect that changes the background color behind a link, but instead of ending with the text, the color change extends to the width of the div.

It's hard to explain, so here's an example: checkout the sidebar at pastemagazine.com. I've tried dissecting their source code, but they have about 5 different stylesheets and it's really hard to follow.

As far as I can tell, this is what makes the hover effect and I just can't figure out how they make the background color change extend beyond the text. I have my links in a ul just as they do and they don't seem to be doing anything else special.

Code:

#sect1 ul.stories a:hover{
		background-color:#d9f7ff;
		color: #71808F;
	}

Thanks!

Hi,
I have 5 input textbox in my page.
I want to change the background color of one input textbox to red.
How to change the color of the input box to red?

Thank you

I've been using CSS for a couple of days now, and am a bit stuck on how to change the main background image in the body when I hover over a menu item on the side bar. Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style.

Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
<head>
	<title>HOTWORKS</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylz.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<body class="top" id="bdy" > 
<!-- Site navigation menu -->
<ul class="navbar" id="navlist">
	<li><a href="tools.html"><br>Tools</a>
	<li><a href="glass.html"><br>Glass <br> Artwork</a>
	<li><a href="pottery.html"><br>Ceramic<br> Artwork</a>
	<li><a href="about.html"><br>About</a>
</ul>

<!-- Main content -->
<h1>     </h1>

<p> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
TOOLS - ART - MISCELLANEA 
<br>

<address>
</address>

</body>
</html>

Code:

#navlist a:hover { 
    color: #1e5ebd;
    background:url("images/drawer4b.jpg") no-repeat;
	 background-repeat:no-repeat;
	 background-position: 0px -10px;
    color:#FF0000;
	 /* how do I do something like this 
    body.top {  background-image: url(images/tabtool.jpg) ; }
	 */
}

Just to be complete, and in case there is something in here that you might need, here is the full css file:

Code:

  body.top {
    padding-left: 11em;
    font-family: Fantasy, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    font-size:15px;
    color: #000000;
    /*background-image: url(images/tab3.jpg) ; */
    background-position: 210px 10px; 
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-color: #000000;
    margin-left:5cm;
	}

   body.top {  background-image: url(images/tab3.jpg) ; }
   
  ul.navbar {
   	color: #000000;
    list-style-type: none;
    position: absolute;
    display:block;
    float:left;
    left: 1em;
	}

  h1 {
    font-family: Helvetica, Geneva, Arial,
		SunSans-Regular, sans-serif 
	}
  ul.navbar li {
		text-align:center; 
   /* vertical-align:100px; */
   background: #000000;
   border-right: 1em solid black;
	}
  ul.navbar a {
		text-decoration: none ;
		 top:10%; 
    height:4em; 
  
	}
  a:link {
    color: white }
  a:visited {
    color: white }

#navlist {
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:.8em;
    font-weight:bold;
    list-style:none;
}
#navlist a {
    display:block;
    width:144px;
    height:137px;
    color:#fff;
    text-decoration:none;
    background:url("images/drawer4.jpg") no-repeat;
	 background-repeat:no-repeat;
	 background-position: 0px -10px;
}
#navlist a:hover { 
    color: #1e5ebd;
    background:url("images/drawer4b.jpg") no-repeat;
	 background-repeat:no-repeat;

}
#navlist a:active {

	 background-position: 0px -10px;
    color:#FFC741;
}

Hi guys,

Is it possible in CSS to change the colour / image of the page background dynamically. So that as you hovered over different links , the background of the page changed. I know you can do this in JS but how would you do it in CSS?

I was kinda thinking something like:

a.linkname:hover, a.linkname:focus body { background-color:#00FF00; }

but thats just a guess and doesnt work lol.

Many Thanks,

Alvin.

I would like to have the background-color of a complete table row changed when I move the mouse over it.

Any ideas how to realize this within a CSS file (not with javascript)

Thanks in advance
