CSS - Showing <span> On :hover, Why Isn't This Working?

Hi,

I have this style for font size. I then use span class to use it, but it only works in IE and not FF. Any ideas why? Have i got something wrong with it?

PHP Code:
 .11px {
font-family: verdana, arial, tahoma;
font-size: 11px; } 

a div works with this style, but a span does not. i want part to be left (defalut by the css file style applied), and then the inline span style to be to the right. not working:
Code:

echo "<a title='".$link['desc']."' href='".$linkurl."' class='cmenulink'>".$link['title']."</a>";
	 echo "<span style='text-align: right; padding: 1px;'>In: ".$link['in']."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Out: ".$link['out']."</span><br />";

if you don't know php...

Code:

<a title='abc' href='abc.com' class='cmenulink'>ABC</a>

<span style='text-align: right; padding: 1px;'>In: 999&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Out: 999</span><br />

Hi

I'm struggeling with the following:

I have some span elements inside a td.

If I apply padding to a span then the padding is flowing outside the td (above and below the borders of the td).

Why does that happen and is there a way to make the td to autogrow to fit all the span's inside?

Se example code below

Code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:300px; margin-top:50px;">
<tr>
<td style="background-color:gray; text-align:center; border:1px solid black;">
<span style="margin-right:20px;">First</span>
<span style="margin-right:20px;">1</span>
<span style="margin-right:20px;">2</span>
<span style="margin-right:20px; background-color:orange; padding:10px;">3</span>
<span style="margin-right:20px;">4</span>
<span style="margin-right:20px;">5</span>
<span style="">Last</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

******* UPDATE *******
I found this link today:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FormattingContexts

which says (among other things):
*************************
Only one thing impacts the vertical space between inline elements: the line height. Normally, the line height is based upon the line height for the text in that line, or the height/padding/border/margin of any replaced items. The element on a line with the largest line height or replaced height is the one to define the vertical space that line takes up.

Height, padding, border or margins on text do not impact the line height or the container height. Instead, borders, padding and margins overlap from line to line. If you want to give an inline text element some padding and border, make sure you give it some extra line height, too, or else it will overlap with whatever else is above or below it.
*************************

So does that rule mean that I have no way to make my TD autogrow in relation to the padding applied to the SPAN in the example above?
Is there any working workarounds for this...?

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.

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; }

I have my links, and a:hover does not activate when the link has been visited. Is there any special for a hover visted link or any way to fix this?

Whew, it's been a while sin'ce i've been here. Thanks in advance!

Am trying to solve an annoying IE problem:

I have a menu which I has a background image which should appear when rolled over. Unfortunatly this works on Firefox but not IE. In internet explorer, nothing changes when the menu item is rolled over ( hovered ) .. any ideas?

The code is:

Code:

#item, #item2, #item3, #item4 {
height:24px;
width:147px;
border:1px solid #dddddd;
padding-top:14px;
padding-left:15px;
}
#item:hover, #item2:hover, #item3:hover, #item4:hover { color:white; }
#item:hover { background-image:url(homeRollover.png); }
#item2:hover { background-image:url(aboutusRollover.png); }
#item3:hover { background-image:url(servicesRoll.png); }
#item4:hover { background-image:url(contactusRoll.png); }

Hi,

Hello I'm a photographer trying to code my site myself, I'm a control freak and trying to learn css but coding is not my thing.
I have two different rollover effects on my page but only one part is working.
The links on the right of photo function correctly when I hover over them, but the links on top don't change as they should. a link to my css file
Can anyone help me on this? I believe i have the order correct (a:hover follows link and visited) but i'm sure it's an easy fix. Sadly, not for me. Thanks for any help

Good day,

I am a newbie, both to CSS and to these forums.

I recently undertook a job to update a website for a charity and am dealing with the previous webmasters coding, both html and css. I am trying to modernize the site a bit, it is very 1997.

I am running into a bit of trouble with the hover class on one of my pages. When a link has been visited, it no longer changes color and highlights on hover. I read on multiple forums, this one included that it is because you must define hover last, after visited, active, etc. I did this, but still does not work. I am using Firefox 2.

Here is the code I am working with, sorry that is is a bit lengthy, I don't know what parts are important or not because when I just change the hover, link, visted part it doesn't work.

The page I am working with is at beverlyfoundation . org / library / index . html

I have a thumbnail image with a link below. When hovering over the link, I want the enlarged image to pop up. I've tried it 2 ways. Both are close, but neither works the way I want it. Perhaps someone can help tweak one of these options?

Option 1 is he
http://concrete-creative.com/temp/print/1.html
**What I don't like here is that you can hover over a big, blank area below the link and the larger image pops up. I only want the linked text [JACK IT UP] to pop the larger image up.

Option 1_B is he
http://concrete-creative.com/temp/print/1_B.html
**The problem here is the the larger image while INVISIBLE is sitting below the text [JACK IT UP] which is pushing my HTML table too wide.

Can someone help me find the happy medium between these 2 solutions so it works the way I want it to?

THANKS!
