thanks for your help

Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!)

Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text.

What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar. The live online link can be found at:
www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html

The CSS is as as follows:

Code:

/*
 *  Page Stylesheet 
 */
body {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  background-color: #eaeaea;
  border:0; margin:0; padding:0;
  height: 100%;
}
a:link {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
	text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
	text-decoration: none;
}
#container {
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
   	min-height: 100%;
	width: 936px;
}
* html #container {
	height: 100%;
}
#content {
	float:left;
	position: relative;
	height: 528px;
	width: 936px;
	z-index: 0;
}
.miniscreen1, .miniscreen2, .miniscreen3, .miniscreen4, .miniscreen5, .miniscreen6, .miniscreen7, .miniscreen8, .miniscreen9 {
	position: absolute;
	float: left;
	display: block;
	width: 312px;
	height: 176px;
}
.miniscreen1 {
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
}
.miniscreen2 {
	top:0;
	left: 312px;
}
.miniscreen3 {
	top: 0;
	left: 624px;
}
.miniscreen4 {
	left: 0;
	top:176px;
}
.miniscreen5 {
	left: 312px;
	top:176px;
}
.miniscreen6 {
	left: 624px;
	top:176px;
}
.miniscreen7 {
	left: 0;
	top:352px;
}
.miniscreen8 {
	left: 312px;
	top:352px;
}
.miniscreen9 {
	left: 624px;
	top:352px;
}
.info {
	height: 30px;
	top:3px;
	left: 40px;
	width: 265px;
	float: left;
	position: absolute;
}
.infobar  {
	left:0px;
	position: absolute;
	top: 140px;
	width: 312px;
	height: 36px;
	outline: none;
	color:#000;
	background: url("data/infobar.png") no-repeat 0 0;
	z-index: 650;
}
.infobar:hover  { 
	background-position: 0 -36px;
	outline: none;
	color:#fff;
}
#infobar span {
	display: none;
	outline: none;
}
.clip_title {
	outline: none;
	font-size: 85%;
	font-weight: 700;
	vertical-align: top;
	text-align: left;
}
.clip_sub {
	outline: none;
	height: 13px;
	font-size: 80%;
	line-height: 13px;
	font-weight: 700;
	vertical-align: top;
	text-align: left;
}

And the HTML is:

There must be a better (and easier?) way to do this. Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!)

Hello I'm trying to figure this out. I want different color on the text-decoration overline and underline then the text. I know it's possible but how?
It works if i change it into border but that's not the case. Here's a picture to give you the idea.
Please help

Thanks in advance

Since i can't link url here's the link for the picture

Hi, I am trying to make a link's text black with a blue underline. Is this possible?

Here is my code, which produces black text with a black underline: Code:

.link{ text-align:left; 
color:#000000; 
font-size:14.5pt; 
font-family:times new roman,serif; 
font-weight:normal; 
text-decoration:underline color:#09328a; }

Not sure if I'm missing something or if there's a hack for FF (and possibly other browsers), but on hover, text-decoration:underline doesn't seem to work in FF.

Here's the HTML:
Code:

<div class="prod_container">			
<div class="leftprods">
<div style="text-align:center; margin:auto;"><a href="#"><img src="images/prod_ta.gif" style="border:0;" alt="Time and Attendance" /><div class="prod_text">Time and Attendance</div></a></div><div>&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align:center; margin:auto;"><a href="#"><img src="images/prod_devkit.gif" style="border:0" alt="Development Kits" /><div class="prod_text">Development Kits</div></a></div>
</div>

<div class="rightprods">
<div style="text-align:center; margin:auto;"><a href="#"><img src="images/prod_access.gif" style="border:0" alt="Access Control" /><div class="prod_text">Access Control</div></a></div><div>&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align:center; margin:auto;"><a href="#"><img src="images/prod_finger.gif" style="border:0" alt="Fingerprint Readers" /><div class="prod_text">Fingerprint Readers</div></a></div>
</div>
</div>

Here's the CSS:
Code:

.leftprods { text-align:left; float:left; }
.leftprods a{ text-decoration:none; color:green; }

.rightprods { text-align:left; float:right; }
.rightprods a{ text-decoration:none; color:green; }

.prod_text { font-size:16px; color:green; font-weight:bold; padding-bottom:5px; }

.prod_container a:hover { text-decoration:underline; }

Thanks.

I have an image I am using for my submit button, it has this "Link Box" around it that I want to go away. I just want the image shown and not the border or whatever is happening here.

I assume it is because it is a link. I use an external style sheet for the rest of the page, so if there is a suggestion for me to reference a style from the style sheet, this would be a huge help.

I have read about everything I could and still cannot find my answer.

Is there a way to get rid of the box around my image using CSS?

Here is what I have:

<input name="imageField" type="image" onClick="return valLoginForm(frmLogin)" src="images/b_login.gif" width="60" height="18" >

Thank you for your help.

Hi Folks,

I've implemented a custom underline for all text links using background properties, but have found that my linked transparent PNG images are now affected with the underline as well.

I've tried correcting this by applying background-image:none; to the affected PNGs -- I even used !important;. No luck. I also saw some mention of using the display:block; property to correct a similar problem. No luck.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I was all set to post a link to a live example, but it seems new users can't post links? Hopefully the above description will suffice.

Hello,
i am new to css and i am trying to create text links on an image file using css and html
my problem is i can create one text link using the css and html code i am about to post. but i need to have 4 or 5 text links on this picture
example would be

Text Link
Text Link
Text Link
Text Link
Text Link

here is the css i am using

Code:

.imagecontainer {
    position:relative;
    float:right;
}
.imagecontainer a {
    position:absolute;
    top:200px;
    left:235px;
    color:#FFFFFF;
    font-weight: bold;
}

here is the html code

Code:

<div class="imagecontainer">
 <img alt="" src="http://durin78.squarespace.com/storage/BLUE_TILE_ROUNDED_CORNERS-2.png" />
 <a href="http://durin78.squarespace.com/blogs/category/ranting-and-raving/">Your Saint For Suicide</a>
</div>

Im looking to make it so when someone rolls over a img i have linked it makes the text (which is also a link) next to it act like it has been rolled over as well.

Basically its a list set up like this.


Code:

<dt><a href="#"><img src="blah"/></a></dt>
<dd><a href="#">Text link here</a></dd>

I've seen it done a few ways, but none of them work really for my setup. The ones I've seen set up the IMG as a background positioned.

Anyone have an answer?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a solution that I thought (hoped) would be simple. ...but of course is not.

I use sprites for rollover effects so the hover attribute just changes the background image position. Everything works cool with the rollovers. What I would like to do, is make a text link that when rolled over will change a separate background image to it's hover state. I should add, that the the rollover image has it's own div and is separate from where the text link is located.

To get a visual you can check the website (just remove the *)
*onholdmusicsource*.com

In the body section I would like to make each of the dark red section titles a link that when rolled over will change the hover state of the corresponding "more" button.

Comments would be fine
Ideas would be great
Solutions would be fantastic

Many Thanks-

Hello,

I'm trying to create an list menu like the one in attached image and I have 2 problems.

1. In IE 6,IE 7 the list is ordered verticaly and not horizontaly (in Opera and FF it is ok)

2. I need to align the text on the bottom of the list like inattached image.

Here is what I manage to do till now : http://www.sibiul.net/test/list-align.php

Anyone knows what I must do ?

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;
}

When I allow scripts and active x to run in IE I get a dotted border around each letter of hyperlinked text.

It looks fine in other browsers and also in IE if I block scripts.
Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this or if it really is a CSS problem?

Thanks

I have googled; I have read; I have read some more....

</popeye>That's all I can reads and I can't reads no more!</popeye>

a {text-decoration:none}

YEA! ....now; what if I only want to remove the underline on links in my menu and NOT the whole freakin' document????

lol..sorry I just spent the last three hours trying to fix this and no luck so far.

the DOCTYPE is XHTML STRICT.
