Mouseover effect

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 27.2004

Hi there.

I got this code:

<span style=”text-align: center; color: #ffffff; font-size: 12px; background-color: #0065cd; width: 158px; height: 22px;”>home</span>

I want to make it that way so when the mouse is over the SPAN the background color and the font color are different. How can I do it?

Thanks!

@FangAug 27.2004 — A true css [I]hover[/I] can only be achieved on a link element, see [URL=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42910]thread[/URL]

The alternative is to use JavaScript [I]mouseover/mouseout[/I].
&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;
&lt;html lang="en"&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Basic rollover&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
&lt;!--
.out {
text-align: center;
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 12px;
background: #0065cd;
width: 158px;
height: 22px;
}
.over {
background:#f00;
}
--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;p class="out" onmouseover="this.className='over';" onmouseout="this.className='out';"&gt;home&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

CSS :hover pseudo-class can be applied to any element (that is displayed). The problem is with IE implementing the :hover for links only. And for that there is a much simpler fix: www.vladdy.net/Demos/iepseudoclassesfix.html

Success!
