CSS - Hovering On An Adjacent Sibling
I am trying to create something similar to tooltips and having a problem. I know that the browsers support tooltips with the title attribute but I'm looking to do something different. Also, I know that IE has bugs with hovering on non-anchor tags but I'm trying to make this work in a standards-compliant browser (I'm not using IE). I've tried the code given by SantaKlauss and it worked fine.
But why doesn't this work (a simple example to illustrate the problem)? Code:
<style type="text/css">
.test:hover + div
{
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<img class='test' src='test.gif' />
<div>here is some text</div>
If I remove the :hover pseudo-class declaration like this: Code:
.test + div
{
background-color: red;
}
It correctly sets the background color on the div following the image. So why doesn't the first example work with the hover pseudo-class?? Thanks in advance, Jeremiah Similar TutorialsHi, So, there's the adjacent child selector element + element, but I was wondering if there was something that did the reverse of that selector. For example, let's say I have this: Code:
<div id="menu">
<div class="option">1</div
<div class="option">2</div>
<div class="option">3</div>
<div class="option">4</div>
</div>
I know I can use the element + element selector to quickly style every option div but the first, but is there some selector to quickly style every option element but the last. Thanks. --Surgery using the sibling selector like this Code: p, h3
{
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
p + h3
{
margin-top: 2em;
}
should produce output like this (taking mrgin collapsing into consideration) Code: first h3 at top of page paragraph h3 with 2em gap to preceding paragraph paragraph secondary paragraph with 1em gap to preceding paragraph h3 etc but alas, the sibling selector does not work in IE6! so how do i do it otherwise, whilst retaining simple markup? Hi everyone. I have a div with text and directly after that I have an image. Since a DIV is a block level element, it causes the image to wrap to the next line. Is there some way I can prevent it from doing so? Thanks for any help or suggestions. I've been getting quite confused as to why some CSS wasn't doing what I'd expected it to do. I have code like this: Code: .tBox { width: 50px; height: 50px; }
.tHeader { opacity: 1 }
.tBox:hover .tHeader { opacity: 0.5 }
I then have my DIVs like this (simplified) Code: <div class="holder"> <div class="section1"> <div class="tBox"> </div> </div> <div class="section2"> <div class="tHeader"></div> </div> </div> So what I was expecting to happen is that when someone hovered over "tBox" then "tHeader" would switch opacity. But it wasn't. And I believe this is because tBox and tHeader aren't in the same parent. I read somewhere something about using a "+" to do some special selector stuff in the CSS but didn't really understand. Can someone please help me with how I can get this to work outside of them sharing their parent. Thanks. So I'm trying to be "proper" and move from tables to divs. But one thing keeps getting me. Say I have a shadow that is to the left and right of my center content page. Easy enough w/ tables. (I'm really dumbing this all down). <table> <tr> <td background="images/shadow.gif"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></td> <td>My content here<br /><br /><br />etc.</td> <td background="images/shadow_r.gif"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></td> </tr> </table> In tables, that height of the left and right cells automatically move with the content of the right cell, so that if there's more or less text, the shadow gets longer or shorter. Now, this is how I'm seeing DIVs would work. <div style="float:left; background-image:url(../images/shadow.gif);background-position:top right; background-repeat:repeat-y;"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></div> <div style="float:left">My content here<br /><br /><br />etc.</div> <div style="float:left; background-image:url(../images/shadow_r.gif);background-position:top left; background-repeat:repeat-y;"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></div> But in this case, the divs to the left and right do not automatically adjust to be the height of the div in the center. So I just get one pixel of height for the shadow "cells". Is there a way to use CSS and still do this? Thanks, JBL Hey everyone, I have a footer with two images that link to various associations for home building. In firefox when I over over the link which has a nested image. The next element is a paragraph which is hidden unless the link is hovered over. In IE the paragraphs don't show. I don't know why since I'm using a:hover, well actually it's #link-ID.hover.

Unfortunately no matter what I do to my routers firewall, including turning it off and also trying to add the webserver host to the DMZ. Either way all the port scanners I've used said that port 80 was not responding to SYN connection requests at all. Basically the port is in stealth mode. I cannot give you a live sample of the site. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. i have two p tags one after the other.. <p>text</p> <p>text</p> and I did: Code:
#head p {
float:left;
margin-top:2%;
font-style:oblique;
font-size:150%;
color:green;
}
#head p+p {
float:right;
font-size:75%;
color:red;
}
the problem is that if i do margin-top:4% to the first p; this also changes that in the adjacent p? is this correct? Internet Explorer 7 has an odd way of dealing with adjacent left and right floats in a container without set width. Instead of leaving the parent div to its natural content width as a float, IE7 forces the right-floating div to float right until it meets an element with a fixed width, or otherwise the document margin. IE8 and other browsers float the items correctly. The example below was meant to do a menu with rounded buttons, the two rounded images floated to the left and right edges of the button containing the text. The button should only be the width of the text link plus the rounding divs. This is easily fixed by adding a fixed width to the floating container div. However this may not always be the desirable action when div content widths may vary -- especially if space is at premium. Is there any decent way to fix this without resorting to ugly hacks? An easy way to make rounded corners for buttons that are floating. Perhaps use ul/li as the menu item container elements -- would that make any difference? ul/li come with their semantic limitations however, as far as their contents are concerned. (No divs for one.)

Does anyone know how I can place two adjacent divs to fit the full width of the browser when one div is a set pixel width and the other i think has to be %? Here's my code: Code: <div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 260px;"> <a href="http://www.thencollection.com/"><img src="images/logo.jpg" width="260px" height="55px" border="0" alt="The N Collection Logo" /></a></div> <div style="margin-left: 260px; width: 100%; height: 55px; background-color: #FFDC00;"> </div> Right now the header extends the browser width. Thanks in advance! I actually am having two problems, the one I alluded to in the subject and one I posted previously but got no response. This time, I'm including a URL and a CSS link in the hopes that someone might be able to help me out. The problem I posted earlier is regarding my navigation column and footer being omitted about 80% of the time in IE5/Win. Obviously, that's a huge problem. Of the browsers I've tested, it only happens in IE5/Win. The second problem is a bizarre issue regarding list items and the copy of the website. For some reason, in both IE5/Win and IE6/Win, the copy in the main column is slightly indented when there are list items (i.e. my navigation links!). This doesn't happen in any other browser I've tested and let me tell you, it's really cramping my style, because it makes the copy look like crap. Anyway, here's the URL of a test page: I've removed the page link. And here's the CSS link: http://dev.homedecorbuyer.com/stylesheets/default.css * Note: about 8 lines of CSS are on a different stylesheet, but only have to do with color and the header graphic. Please help. Whenever I can lend a helping hand on this forum, I post; it's my way of paying it forward. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Hi All, A seemingly simple problem which has me pulling my (already thinning) hair out: I'm working on a simple page header: a 100px-wide image floated to the left, a 150px wide div filled with text floated to the right. I need the header to stretch to fit the whole page, which is easy enough: float the image to the left, float the div to the right. Now, if a user shrinks the browser to, lets say 200px wide, it's forcing the div to stack below the image. I would like for it get closer and closer to the image as the browser is narrowed, until it's sitting just beside it. I can do this with a min-width on a container div, but of course, that doesn't work on IE--and I'd rather not use the "expression" min-width hack. I could do it with a table, but I'm trying to go table-free if I can. It seems like something that should be easy as pie, but I'm finding that it's more akin to baking a souffle. Thanks, all. rjgfx I'm a bit baffled on this issue. Please visit this page - www.atrachapter.com Focus on the main image in the body of the page and mouse over the left hand navigation. The image jumps to the left. I have tried looking at all the css to see what is causing this but am baffled. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks.

Why do the margin-bottom of the table and the margin-top of the p not collapse (only tested in Firefox2)? Why is there 20px between them? I don't understand the world of margins anymore... Is this an exception or a bug or what? Thanks for help, Josh I have the navigation set so that the background turns green on the current page. When you hover over the other links they turn green. However, I do not want the active link to change colors when it is hovered over. How do I stop this from happening? http://brittanyrubinstein . com/fulcrum/index.html We recently decided to alphabetize the Specialties on our web pages (using the .php files from the Includes folder). I have re-alphabetized them in both the .php file as well as the default.css file including making the first image coincide with the alphabetized list. However, when I do, the original image (for Hospitality) remains as the default image and only changes when you finally hover over Hospitality or anything below it. Here's the way part of the original file is set up: /* Images */ div#specialties ul li a.hospitality span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/hospitality.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } div#specialties ul li a.hospitality:hover span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/hospitality.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } And here's what I changed it to: /* Images */ div#specialties ul li a.apartments span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/apartments.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } div#specialties ul li a.apts:hover span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/apartments.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } Help! You can check out the current look at Connell Insurance dot com. . A thousand apologies -- this is a very poorly worded and general question, because I've learned through scavenging and don't know the jargon, and the answer might not even lie in CSS... but the problem is really driving me to distraction. Is it possible in CSS to define a hover effect such that upon hovering over one element, a different element is affected? For example, I know you can add something like this: #example a:hover{ color: #000000; } in order to change the color of any links in the example div upon hovering. But can you change properties of links in any other divs? If so, then how? And if not, then is there a different language which can effect this change? Again, a thousand apologies for the amateurishness and outsider-wording of this question. I will be happy to clarify on request to the extent of my ability. I just changed my website layout from just tables to CSS but theres a few problems, nested tables dont stop at the border of the containing table they hover over them, and one of the tables that was meant to be another column moved out of the table altogether heres the site before and after i edited it: Before After I was told to divide it up like this Code: <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="body"> <div id="nav">Nav</div> <div id="content">Content</div> </div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </body> Can anyone see what the problem is? When hovering over a link, how can I make the underline thicker? Check out this site. link Hi all, I am having an issue with IE7. www[dot]novakwebsales[dot]com/help/index6.html When you hover over the top category tabs, it shifts the footer up. Then if you hover over the subcategory tabs on the left it drops down again??? It works fine in Firefox... Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Tbone I'm not sure if this is an HTML problem or a CSS problem, but since it seems to be a display issue, I'll start here. I have an annoying minor display issue on my site , the solution to which has alluded me for some time. The pop up menues are created using CSS specificity but I'm thinking that has no bearing on the issue because the menues aren't the only place the problem occurs. In a number of places, I have implemented mouseover effects using the :hover pseudo-(class/element). In instances where the hovered content requires more screen space (to add a border or text decoration, etc) the whole page gets shifted a pixel or two (however much it takes to add the effect). I've tried adding transparent borders around the static images and increasing line height around text, but to no avail. Any suggestions? |
