CSS - Link Hover Classes

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have links on my page that when visited, change color. Simple enough. I also have in my css a hover line that says change the color to white. This works on the unvisited links, but not the visited ones. Why?

Here is my css.

@charset "iso-8859-1";
.text {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #ffffff
}
.textCopy {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #CCCCCC;
hover: #ffffff
}
.textbigger {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #CCCCCC;
hover: #ffffff
}
a:hover {
color: #ffffff;
}
a:link {
color: #999999;
}

a:visited {
color: #747474;
}

a:active {
color: #CCCCCC;
}

body {
margin-top: 0;
background-color: #000000;

}

I wish to have links for the menu like this: http://www.tristarwebdesign.co.uk/templates/templates/karma/index.html

However, I wish to have MY OWN font style on each links as it can be seen on:

The only difference I want is that this guy has used "title" in order to display text on each "li" link, while I would like to use MY OWN font style instead as can be seen from my page on: http://members.lycos.co.uk/darsh25/Personal%20Website/contact.php

i.e. the font style that can be seen in links like About, Services, Owner, Template & Contact.

Code:

				
<li><a title="link six" href="index.html">link six</a></li>
<li><a title="link five" href="index.html">link five</a></li>
<li><a title="link four" href="index.html">link four</a></li>
<li><a title="link three" href="index.html">link three</a></li>
<li><a title="link two" href="index.html">link two</a></li>
<li><a title="link one" href="index.html">link one</a></li>

My links are saved as an "image" (both background & the text on it) & as far as I'm aware, I couldn't possibly "hover" EACH INDIVIDUAL image of EACH of these links using CSS, could I ???

I know that I could "hover" change the background colour, but then what about the text on it ??? Is it possible to use the same fancy font AND being able to change the background colour when hover to "grey" (just as it could be seen from the "tristar" website.

My CSS code so far is:

Code:

I'm trying to have a hover effect on a link within a <td> tag. In firefox it works fine, but in IE it's not working. I wasn't sure if there's a special property in CSS to get it working. My CSS code is:

Quote:
.leftblock a{display: block;
border-top: 1px solid #ffffff;
font-weight: bold;
color: #21536A;
text-decoration:none;
background-color:#CCCCFF;
}



Quote:
.leftblock a:hover{border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color: #DDEEFF;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}



I added display:block to the a:hover class as well to try that to no avail.

http://www.sassyproducts.com/hover.php is where you can see what I'm working on. If you hover over anywhere on the first link, Fundraising, it adds the hover effect, but the other ones will only show the hover effect if you hover over the text. This is in IE. In FF, it works properly. Any ideas what I may need to add or change?... Thanks.

Is it possible to have a link where the user rolls their mouse over it, and an image appears on top of it?

I tried setting it as a background image, but it only fills the background of the text.

Thanks!

I have the following code, but the CSS file that I have already defines link and hover to be something else

Is there a way I can edit the div#hdr_cnt to have it's own definition of the hover and link?

Thanks for the help


Code:

div#hdr_ctr	{ width:100%; min-width:670px; background-color:#FFF; overflow:hidden; margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; color:#000000}

div#hdr_cnt { background: url('http://www.hobbyspeed.com/header/hobbyspeed.jpg') no-repeat center; width:670px; height:73px; margin:0 auto; padding:0;}	
	div#hdr_cnt ul.l { float:left; margin:15px 0 0 18px; padding:0; list-style-type:none; direction:rtl; text-align:right; color:#000000}	
	* html div#hdr_cnt ul.l { margin-left: 9px; color:#000000 }	
	div#hdr_cnt ul.r { float:right; margin:15px 0 0 20px; padding:0; list-style-type:none; direction:ltr; text-align:left;}

I am attempting to create a link on a page that will only appear when it is hovered upon. This is to direct an administrator to an admin page. Here is what I have attempted so far to no avail:

Code:

div.headleft {
    text-align: right;
    width: 100%;
}

div.headleft a:link {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:visited {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:hover {
    display: block;
    background: inherit;
    color: #ff0000;
}

div.headleft a:active {
    display: none;
}

I have tried a few variations to the above snippet of code and am at my wits end...

My gratitude ahead of time...

Hello
I would like to make a hover effect when my mouse is over a link, as shown in my attachment.
What I want is, as shown in the attachment (at design time), when I hover on any link, two horizontal lines are added at the top and bottom of that specific link, and a slight black transparency appears as well as a highlighter (not the text of the link, and by default the background will be slightly grayed).
Anyone can help me with this?

Edit: even if the black transparency does not appear is not a problem, but how to implement the two lines? Am using only css and html here, no javascript or any other libraries.

This is the new site I'm working on:
http://animalemergencybloomington.com/Index2.html

Link and Visited Link colors work, but I can't get Active or Hover color to work. (Doesn't work in any of the browsers I've tested it in.)

Right now I have this in the <head>

css Code:
Original - css Code <style type="text/css"> body { color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; margin: 0px 0px; } A:link { text-decoration: none } A:visited { text-decoration: none } </style>

  

 <style type="text/css">


 body {


 color: #000000;


 font-size: 12pt;


 font-family: Verdana;


 margin: 0px 0px;


 }


 A:link { text-decoration: none }


 A:visited { text-decoration: none }


 </style> 

and this for the <body>:

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" alink="#0000FF" vlink="#1E90FF">

adding a:active and a:hover colors to the style gives a "parse error" for those lines when I try to validate and doesn't work anyway as far as getting a color change on hover.

I've been trying different combinations in the body and style all afternoon but get error warnings on everything I've tried except the above combo.

I'm just trying for links that are never underlined (hate how cluttered that makes things look) but turn red on hoover.

Help?
Thanks,
Ez

I have a block that im trying to change the colour of when a user moves their mouse over it, but it isnt a link. At the moment its a div and the css for the block is simply:

.postbitleft { background-color: #0B198C; }

(aside from the size attributions which are already defined. What do i need to add to that CSS for it to change colour when someone hovers over it? Can i actually use CSS for that or will i have to use javascript?

Regards,

James

Long title I know...

My problem is that I want a particular style for a link BUT it seems that Firefox has a glitch with it.

The css code is:

Code:

a, a:link, a:visited {
	color: #000;
	text-decoration: none;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
}
		
a:hover {
	color: #28f;
	border-bottom: 0;
}

Basically Firefox starts "flashing" the cursor simply just by hovering over the link. It only does this if you hover over the "line" part of the link. Here's an image of what it looks like:


You can view this yourself on the page http://www.jasonashdown.co.uk/css_glitch.html

I did however find a way around it with css code:

Code:

a:hover {
	color: #28f;
	border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;
}

http://www.jasonashdown.co.uk/css_glitch_solution.html

This works fine in Firefox and Opera without displaying the glitch. BUT now IE won't accept it (putting a Doctype in the file seems to make the bottom-border disappear).

Can anybody explain to me why Firefox has this glitch?
I couldn't find anything about this problem on this forum or through google. It has been bothering me for months.
Many Thanks in advance

Hi there,

I have a script that displays content when a link is hovered on which then hides when the mouse is hovered off it. Is there a way to make it so the content stays there until one of the other links is hovered on?

This is my CSS:

PHP Code:
 div#links a span {display: none;}


div#links a:hover span {display: block;
   position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 0; width: 125px;
   padding: 5px; margin: 10px; z-index: 100;
   color: #AAA; background: black;
   font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;}


div#links a:hover {color: #411; background: #AAA;
   border-right: 5px double white;
   } 





and this is the HTMl
PHP Code:
<div id="links">
<a href="http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/">Link 1<span>1</span></a>
<a href="http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/">Link 2<span>2</span></a>
<a href="http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/">Link 3<span>3</span></a>
</div> 





Any ideas?

I am trying to learn CSS and am currently trying to mirror a website to practice. I would post the website I am mirroring but due to the forum rules, I cannot.

I am trying to replicate the black background with opacity for the a:link and the white background with opacity for the a: hover. My browser is IE and I have tried the filter:alpha(opacity=1-100) but to no avail.

Here is the HTML I am using for this particular container:

<div id="fivels">

<div id="classone">
<a class="home" href="#">Home</a>
<a class="gallery" href="#">Gallery</a>
<a class="about" href="#">About</a>
<a class="help" href="#">Help</a>
<a class="partner" href="#">Partner</a>

</div>

</div>

And here is my CSS:

#fivels {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: 150px;
width: 800px;
background-image: /* the forum will not let me post URLs, gut a jpg of grass goes here */
}



#classone {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 800px;
text-align: center;
}

#classone a:link {
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: black;
filter: alpha(opacity=20);
}

#classone a:visited {
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
background color: black;
filter: alpha(opacity=20);
}

#classone a:hover {
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: white;
filter: alpha(opacity=20);
}

.home {
padding: 3.2em;
}
.gallery {
padding: 3.2em;
}
.about {
padding: 3.2em;
}
.help {
padding: 3.2em;
}
.partner {
padding: 3.2em;
}

Also, on a side note, is using the padding attribute the most efficient way of seperating the links?

I want a background image on an element that is a specific size where the background changes when hovered and the element functions as a link. I don't want text for the link to be visible.

I tried doing this as an a tag but the background is only visible for the height of the text unless I make the text huge and then make it transparent and that doesn't work in IE as the text is still visible

I want it to be a specific width and height. It is on the opposite side of a nav bar from my main nav that is a horizontal list so I want is to retail the size of my nav.

I don't want the background to be two different images for plain and hover so I was using background placement and moving the bg image on hover.

I thought I could then do this as a single li but I have not had success.

What is the simplest way to achieve this? I would like to keep the text somehow for accessibility but not have it visible.
