I want my application's buttons to be green only when I hover over them. Currently, they are green after I click one of them, until I click something else.
For instance, this button is green after clicking on it and before clicking somewhere else.
What's the name of this effect?
I am now looking over my css files, trying to find this effect and replace it with hover so that the buttons are green only when I hover over them.
My guess is that it is applying the style to the :focus pseudo-class.
The :focus CSS pseudo-class is applied when an element has received
focus, either from the user selecting it with the use of a keyboard or
by activating with the mouse (e.g. a form input).
Alternately, the style might be applied by JavaScript in response to click/focus events, either directly to the element, or by adding a class to the element.
As mentioned in the comments by #AdrianoRepetti, use dev tools to help identify how the style is being applied.

I want to style a GtkToggleButton differently in the active and non-active states. As supplied, GtkToggleButton "sticks" active or not active after the click is finished -- i.e., the "toggle" part. I tried styling GtkToggleButton:active, but that doesn't "stick". That is, the GtkToggleButton:active CSS style elements do apply when the GtkToggleButton is clicked down, but when I release the mouse button, the widget's style reverts to the default (i.e., non-"active") style. Isn't the whole point of GtkToggleButton:active that the "active" state stays on when the button's state toggles to active after clicking, and then only goes off when when the button toggles back to not active after the clicking a second time? So why doesn't CSS applied to GtkToggleButton:active also stick?
Am I the only one who works on a problem for 3 hours, gives up, comes here begging for help, then tries that one.... last... thing..., and it works?
FYI, contrary to any documentation I could find, the style I was looking for is "checked", not "active" (yes, even for GtkToggleButtons that aren't checkboxes).
when I click on a Bootstrap button, a csss is applied while the mouse button is clicked. This is also visible when the mouse button is hold pressed over a bootstrap button.
I need to change that style, but I can't find it using inspect element. How can I find what style is applied and how can I change it?
I had this problem the other week. If you're using chrome, open inspect element, code highlight the button, right click, select Force Element State, select :focus. This will show you the CSS code that you need to alter.
Having an issue with this myself until I applied the style to .btn-default:active:focus
JSFiddle (The *:focus rule is to illustrate which element is marked as having focus.)
What I'm wondering is why, when I click a menu item, it gets the focus... but clicking a menu item does not give it focus.
What's wrong with the CSS to make it behave this way?
focus is generally only for elements that can receive keyboard or other input, so by this heuristic lis don't qualify. This question has more about it..
In the specs, CSS doesn't explicitly define what elements can be in those states, so it's hard to come up with a set rule for what can and can't be set to focus.
What might work for your purposes is active, which you can view here.
There is a small trick - if you want an item which not have focus anabled by default you should make it tabbable by seting its tabindex="N" - N is a number. As simple as that. if you add tabindex to your clickable items they will get focus when you click. If a tag can be tabbed it have to be able to get focus. Adding tabindex attribute to all nodes of the menu is very simple if you have jQuery loaded:
$(function() {
$('#navbar *').attr('tabindex', '1');
});
end everithing comes in place. You can do it using pure JavaScript of course.
I may be trying to get too fancy on this one.
I have a pair of radio-like buttons in a row with a divider between them with background images. When one of the 'buttons' is clicked, I change its class. The CSS for the divider is keyed to the classes of the buttons on either side to select a background image. I am doing this with CSS 'sibling' selectors.
I have jQuery .click events tied to the 'buttons'. the first thing they do is clear the 'selected' class from the other button and set it on the button that was clicked.
For example, if the LEFT button class='selected' and the RIGHT button is not, the divider between them will get a blue background. Click on the RIGHT button and it gets class='selected' while the LEFT button's class is cleared. The divider turns red.
This works in IE, FF, Safari, etc. But IE is odd (IE7) - it will only reflect the divider background change when I mouse OFF the button I clicked! That is, in the example, the RIGHT button gets class='selected' and changes immediately on the click. But the divider stays blue until I mouse off the button, then it turns red.
The class itself IS changing and the button's appearance changes as a result. It's only the neighboring stuff that doesn't!?
It reminds me of my old VB6 days when you had to periodically call 'DoEvents' to get Windows to make UI changes. Could there be something similar here for IE?
I have no idea why this helps, but adding .hide().show() to a selector that includes the stuff that changed class seems to make it update.
I've read that using setAttribute to change the class will force IE7 to re-render the styles. Try that, and if it still fails, I've solved a similar IE7 problem by rewriting the html, which forced IE7 to re-render (using jquery):
if ($("html").hasClass("ie7")){
var tempHolder = $("#ajaxresults").html();
$("#ajaxresults").html(tempHolder);
}
As for giving the html or body tag the ie7 class, I recommend taking a look at html5boilerplate.com. If for some reason you can't use their solution, the jquery for it is:
if ($.browser.msie){
if ($.browser.version < 8){
$("html").addClass("ie ie7");
}
else {
$("html").addClass("ie");
}
}
This is a CSS-Question.
In this fiddle you can see a button.
It has got two span-elements inside. One with float:left; the other with float:right;.
The style is a normal button-style.
When clicking that button on the iPhone or hover it in a Browser the style gets lost.
This is because I changed the background-color.
Is there a way to change the background-color without losing the whole button-style?
EDIT:
Here are the two images: The first button is a normal button-element. The second button is a button where I changed the background-color ... this is what it looks like when I'm hovering over a button.
I think I understand what you mean. It looks like the rounded corner is gone when hovering, while a border is added. I'm afraid there's not a easy way to get what exactly you want, as the behavior & appearance of Button is controled by system.
Maybe you can try to replace it with a div, which you have full control of the style (chaning the style via JS when hovering).
All's working fine for me. However floating-right elements should always be placed before floating-left elements. Don't know if it will change anything.
