CSS - Background Color Of Links
Hi,
I have a simple table <table id="sometable"> <tr> <td> <a href="link1">link1</a> <td> <a href="link2">link2</a> </table> with a style sheet table#sometable {width: 100%;} table#sometable a:hover{background-color: #A9A9A9;} What I want is on a hover the whole cell changes color, not just the link. How can I do this? Also should I be using a table in the first place? Thanks Colin Similar TutorialsHi all, I am having difficulty with the background for an image link. I have the following: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test page</title>
<style type="text/css">
a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; background: #0000ff; text-decoration: none; }
a:hover img { background: none; }
.box { background: #00ff00; padding: 1em; }
.box img { border: 0; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="box">
<p><a href="#"><img src="images/a1a8aa6a43.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><a href="#">Text link</a></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I have a global style for links that change the background color and the color of the text. However, this also changes the background color of an image link which makes it look odd. I attempted to fix this with Code: a:hover img { background: none; }
But this does not fix the issue. Any thoughts? I am using XHTML strict because the CMS I am using forces me to an XHTML stylesheet. Also, this is just a snippet of the code of the actual page but the bug is present in this snippet. Does anyone know if/how I can get a CSS script for link classes that would only change the colour of the underline like the one at the top of Altavista's translate page?? I have tried viewing the source but can't seem to put my finger on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheerz, sheermonkey. Is there a way to tell the browser not to change the color of a visited link? I have an anchor around some text, but I don't know the color setting of the text. When I visit the link, I just want the text to retain its color based on the other CSS declarations in effect for the text. So, is there a way to specify a:visited { color: do-not-change; }? I've got two questions of which one is to gather some opinions to help me decide what's best. 1) color notation in CSS: Any recommendations as to what notation I should use? examples: color: rgb(255,234,0) color: slateblue color: #FF99CC color: #F9C Is there some recommendation here? I'm quite used to the long hex notation e.g. #FF99CC. Is the short notation also very much accepted? And should I be using those at all or should I prepare myself with a new site to switch to rgb(). 2) text-decoration yes or no? I was thinking the following: A) when it's absolutely clear that some text presents a link, like e.g. in a menu or some newscolumn with a brief description and a bold title, then it's "okay" to set text-decoration: none. Maybe an underline or colorchange when hovering. B) When it's not absolutely clear what's a link, like some word in a paragraph text, use underline or at least some other colour which is consistent over the website for being a link. Also, with point B I was thinking of choosing: A new link: text-decoration with color and text-decoration gone with hover, for a nice effect. With a visited link: I) text-decoration but normal paragraph color and again text-decoration gone when hovering OR... II) no text-decoration, but still with that color and text-decoration when hovering. It troubles me coz I can't make up my mind. Something keeps telling me that I should try to keep those text-decorations like with B-I and simply remove the colour, instead of relying on colour to indicate a link. So forget about B-II?! Ah, it was this site which works on my conscious not to rely on color for links: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Mar/att-0002/01-part#colorunits Anybody got some comments or tips? And yes also some tip on the CSS I want things to be "user-friendly" enough, but this also means that I don't want text to be broken up too much. Some people even suggested that I should take ALL links out of the paragraph and simply mention them below the paragraph. All good points, but which way to go Hi Guys! Most of the links in my document are set to #ffffff, because they have a dark background. I have 'content' section that I want to show blue links. I tried adding the following code into my style sheet: PHP Code: a.content:link { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline; } a.content:visited { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline; } a.content:hover { background-color: #6666FF; text-decoration: underline; } And nothing!? (apart from the layout crapped up!!!!) Could someone point me in a better direction? Full CSS below! Thanks Charlie PHP Code: html {height:100%;} body { margin:0; padding:0; height:100%; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-position:top right; background-repeat:repeat-y; background-color:#ffffff; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: .7em; } #wrap { background-image:url(images/newback150px.jpg); background-position:top left; background-repeat:repeat-y; min-height:100%; } * html #wrap {height:100%} div#navbar {padding: 0%; text-align: center; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; background-color: #000044; color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1px} div#formbox { color: #000000; padding: 2%; border: #000044 solid 1px; } div#userbar {padding: 0%; text-align: center; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; background-color: #000044; color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1px} #header { background-color: #000044; background-image:url(images/wel.jpg); width 100%; background-repeat: repeat; border-bottom: 2px #000000 solid; color: #ffffff; margin:0; padding:0; height:100px; } } #left { float:left; width:149px; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; color: #ffffff; text-align:center; background-color: #000044; border-right: 1px #000000 solid; } #main { position:relative; margin-left:200px; } #content { text-align:center; padding:4px; margin-right:200px; margin-bottom:150px; text-align:left; } #clearfooter { clear:both; height:80px; overflow:hidden; } #footer { height:40px; background-color: #000044; border-top: 2px #000000 solid; margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; margin-top:-0px; color: #ffffff; text-align:center; } div#newsbar {padding: 0%; text-align: center; height:140px; background-image:url(images/newback.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; background-color: #000044; color: #ffffff; margin-left: +150px; margin-right: +10px; margin-top: -180px; border: 2px #000000 solid; width: auto;} code { font-size:0.8em; border:1px solid navy; background-color:white; color:#333333; padding:10px; display:block; width:80%; margin:10px auto; overflow:auto; } h1 {font-size: 1.4em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h2 {font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h3 {font-size: 1.2em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h4 {font-size: 1.1em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h5 {font-size: 1em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} a:link {color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline;} a:visited { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline;} a:hover {color: #dedbcb; background-color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline;} Hey i got some cells in a table which hold links. How can i make only the links inside these cells a different color? This is the class i use on the table cells: css Code: Original - css Code .selectedContactRow{ background-color: white; color: black; }
I only know how to change the link colors in general. css Code: Original - css Code a:link{color: red;} a:hover{color: red;} etc.
thanks in advance. 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 ? hanks Hi, I have made a page using <div> tags. <div id="page"> <div id="leftmenu"> </div> <div id="mainarea"> </div> </div> My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). I want them both to be of the same height. (3) How can I do this? Plz Help! I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below. (1) (2) (3) #mainarea { background-color:#FFFFFF; float:left; position:relative; right:0pt; width:630px; } #leftmenu { background-color:#EEEEEE; float:left; left:0pt; position:relative; width:140px; } #page { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:770px; } 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!

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 Hi, I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? I have a horizontal ul: Code: <ul> <li>blah</li> <li>loooooooooooooooooooooong blah blah blah</li> </ul> If I set the background color: Code:
li { background-color: yellow; }
It works fine, but If the long line gets wrapped, the height of the background of that li is higher, and it looks very funny. I want the background to be equally height, independent on the other li:s height. Is that possible? I don't want to have a fixed value for the height 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 Hello all, When viewing in IE my background is dark red like it's suppose to be. When viewing the same site in Firefox the background is white. Firefox is not seeing that portion of code within my CSS file. Can someone shine some light for me? Thanks in advance!! Please help I need Please send me a message for URL. For some odd reason Dev won't allow me to post a link to my site for you. I want to display text when I hover over certain areas of an image, so I am using an image map, no href, and assigning the text using ALT=. As a result, the text shows up as a tooltip. It works great except that the background color in the tooltip box is a very dated yellow color that looks inconsistent with the rest of my page. Is there any way to change the background color? (I am trying to avoid scripts because I've never used them and don't really have time to learn how, at this point) Thanks, Beth Howdy, Okay, this is driving me nuts...i have the background-color set the same for the header and the footer, only the header is displaying darker than the footer. I've been going over it with a fine-toothed comb, but can't find the problem. here's the site and here's the css; Code:

Any help is greatly appreciated! I have three "buttons" that are essentially <div> elements on a page made to look like a button. I would like to make the background color change for the button on the "hover" state, but for some reason the only part of the background that changes on the hover state is the area only behind the text. Here's my code. I'd like the whole background area to change, anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Code:
.prioritycontainer {
width: auto;
float: left;
display: inline;
margin: 0px 0px;
padding: 10px 0px;
}
.prioritybutton {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: auto;
display: inline;
margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px;
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
background-color: #978047;
border: solid 1px #CCBC77;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.prioritybutton a:link {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.prioritybutton a:visited {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.prioritybutton a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #A19058;
text-decoration: none;
}
.prioritybutton a:active {
color: #fff;
background-color: #A19058;
text-decoration: none;
}
Markup on .html page is as follows: Code: <div class="prioritycontainer"> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="one.htm">One</a></div> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="two.htm">Two</a></div> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="three.htm">Three</a></div> </div> Any help would be very helpful. Thanks, Brian I'm using Wordpress 3.0.4 with the WP Remix theme 3.0 for my website. URL: joelwyant.com I want to be able to add a page to the site during the Christmas season. To make it standout more, I'd like that specific page to always have a different background color in the navbar than the other "normal" pages. I have the CSS for the navbar style, but I don't know where to begin to make it specific to just that one page. In other words, how do I create CSS that overides the normal navbar background color for just that one specific page? Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance is much appreciated! Joel What is wrong with this? I can't seem to see any of the background colors in Firefox or Camino? I have tried setting the background color in the body, and by enlosing the rest of the elements within a containing "main" div... but neither seem to work. Any ideas? What is wrong with this?
