Button shakes on hover - css

I'm having trouble while hovering my buttons. They seem to shake when the mouse is not entirely over the button.
I've made a JSFiddle so you can see what I mean:
http://jsfiddle.net/h93jkxck/
I've tried to give it a min-height but it's still shaking.

its because they change their position on hover, so actually the are not hovered anymore... and it looks like they were "shaking"
try this:
.btn-social{
color: #000;
margin-top:0em;
position: relative;
padding-left: .75em;
padding-right: .75em;
font-size: .85em;
}
.hover-helper:hover{
padding-top: 1em;
}
div{
float:left;
}
<div class="hover-helper"><button class='btn-social'>Facebook</button></div>
<div class="hover-helper"><button class='btn-social'>Google</button></div>

When you hover the button the give :hover style is applied
.btn-social:hover {
margin-top: 1em;
}
Also that made the mouseout event as the button goes beyond the mouse. So the style is reverted and hover fires again. See this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/h93jkxck/3/ You can remove the margin and add some other styles in the :hover section

You're applying a margin top when the mouse is hovered over the link.
This is without the margin top.
http://jsfiddle.net/h93jkxck/1/
.btn-social{
color: #000;
margin-top:0em;
position: relative;
padding-left: .75em;
padding-right: .75em;
font-size: .85em;
}
div{
float:left;
}

It's because of margins. Your buttons loses hover when got it. Here is solution:
html:
<div class="hover"><button class='btn-social'>Facebook</button></div>
<div class="hover"><button class='btn-social'>Google</button></div>
css:
.btn-social{
color: #000;
margin-top:0em;
position: relative;
padding-left: .75em;
padding-right: .75em;
font-size: .85em;
}
.hover:hover{
padding-top: 1em;
}
div{
float:left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/h93jkxck/2/

This is happening because when the button is hover the button tries to get 1em margin so it makes the button shake.
make margin-top:0em; like this
.btn-social:hover{
margin-top: 0em;
background-color: red;
}

Positioning a button and preventing movement?

As you can see from this image of my site:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/77598212#N03/33735427334/in/dateposted-public/
My button is crammed right underneath the randomly generated text. Instead, I'd like to lower it.
But additionally, I'm trying to keep it completely "anchored" to the page, because right now when I click the button, a random image generates, but that image is moving the button vertically depending on the size of the image. Not good.
Instead, I'd like that button to remain in the same position, always.
Any thoughts/help would be appreciated. I'm still quite new to all this. Thank you. -Wilson

css:
*It's pretty simple. First two elements here are controlling centering the page. The rest are self explanatory, showtext refers to the random text generator.
*{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body{
text-align:center; /*For IE6 Shenanigans*/
}
button {
color: #900;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 150%;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
h1{
margin-top:20px;
font-size: 250%;
overflow:hidden; /* older browsers */
font-family: hobeaux-rococeaux-sherman, sans-serif;
}
img {
max-width:600px;
max-height:440px;
box-shadow: 1px 5px 5px grey;
border-style: groove;
border-width: 1px;
margin-top:20px;
}
#ShowText{
overflow:hidden; /* older browsers */
word-wrap: break-word;
padding-top: 100px;
max-width: 1000px;
font-size: 25px;
font-family: vendetta, serif;
line-height: 25px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Use:
#buttonfun {
margin-top: 20px;
}
Wrap the img with a div:
<div class="image-wrapper">
<img src="images/297.jpg" />
</div>
and add the CSS:
.image-wrapper {
height: 440px;
}

CSS hovering issue

Please refer this fiddle , http://jsfiddle.net/shrikanth/79AfQ/
After hovering header(h2), div element(popup) is displayed , which is as per design.
However I can't navigate to new div.(new div gets disappear soon after moving out h2 element)
Is there any fix for this , so that user can click on headrer then can click on contact of another div element?
HTML
<h2>What is CSS?</h2>
<div id="popup">
Contact
</div>
CSS
h2 {
position:relative;
top:22px;
left:44px;
width: 170px;
height:33px;
text-align:center;
}
#popup {
width: 240px;
background: #727272;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 6px;
color: #FFF;
position: relative;
top:15px;
left:44px;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 20px;
display:none;
}
h2:hover+ #popup {
display:inline-block;
}
h2:hover {
background-color:green;
}
#popup:before {
content:"";
display: block;
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 15px 15px 15px;
border-color: transparent transparent #727272 transparent;
position: absolute;
top: -15px;
left: 92px;
}
Just change the hover pseudo-selector rule to include the #popup element, too (assuming your goal is just to be able to click the contact link in the #popup)
h2:hover+ #popup, #popup:hover{
display:inline-block;
}
If you want to use this approach, I suggest adding padding to the h2 element to allow your mouse to leave it without immediately deactivating the hover state, or wrapping it with a larger, invisible element.
Another way would be to add the #popup inside the h2 and absolutely position it.
This way, when you're hovering over the popup, you'll be hovering over the h2 as well.
One thing to note here is not to leave any spaces between h2 and the popup, like ReeceJHayward suggested.

Why is my a:hover css working differently in Firefox?

I cannot figure this out. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH so please, no comments about me doing more research. Also, I am a noob, so be nice ;)
Here's my site: http://library.skybundle.com/
Hover your mouse over the two black rectangles in the main blue nav bar (header area). The a:hover should make the color change to a gray. The ISSUE is that in Chrome, this looks perfect. But, in Firefox, the padding-right isn't long enough or something, so there is always a small black rectangle at the far right side of the "Educational Courses" button (this will only be visible when hovering your cursor over the button). In other words, the gray box doesn't go all the way to the right-side end of the button area upon mouse hover. I just don't understand why this looks and works great in Chrome, but bugs out in Firefox...
Believe me when I say I have tried everything I can to fix it using Firebug in Firefox. If you play around with it using an editor in your browser, you will see that if you try to make the padding longer for Firefox, it pops the whole button down onto a new line. So to fix THAT problem, you must make the container wider, but then the original problem comes back. It's a circle of problems and I'm sure one of you geniuses out there will see a simple solution that I am missing.
Please help. Thanks!
EDIT :
Here's my JSFiddle and code. Notice how it looks great in Chrome but not in Firefox?
http://jsfiddle.net/S4st8/
HTML:
<div id="navigation">
<div id="navigation-inner">
<div id="page-nav">
<div id="primary-nav">
<ul id="top-menu">
<li id="li-left">Product Training Videos</li>
<li id="li-right">Educational Courses</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#navigation {
background: url(http://library.skybundle.com/wp-content/themes/business-services/library/styles/colour-images/mu-nav.jpg) repeat-x;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
}
#navigation-inner {
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 0px;
height: 48px;
width: 960px;
}
#page-nav {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 40px;
width: 960px;
}
div#primary-nav {
position: relative;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul#top-menu {
margin: -5px 0.325em 0 0.325em;
position: absolute;
padding: 0;
z-index: 100;
top: 0;
left: 3em;
width: 367px;
}
ul#top-menu li {
line-height: 3em;
list-style-type: none;
height: 49px;
background-color: #2C2C2C;
float: left;
}
li#li-right {
list-style-position: inside;
border-left: 2px solid #5E5E5E;
}
ul#top-menu li a {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 11pt;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 15px 10px 16px 10px;
color: #ffffff;
}
ul#top-menu li a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
width: auto;
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #505354;
padding: 15px 10px 17px 10px;
}
its because a tags (anchor tags) have a default display property of inline
due to CSS Box Model you would need to adjust your padding and set the anchor tags display property to display:block;
the display block allows the anchor tag to fill the whole space of the LI tag
change ul#top-menu li a to this:
ul#top-menu li a{
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 11pt;
font-weight: bold;
display: block; /* add this */
padding: 0 10px; /* add this */
}
the CSS Box Model adds the content + padding + border + margin
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box_model
Take a look at this CSS rule:
li#li-right {
border-left: 2px solid #5E5E5E;
list-style-position: inside;
}
Dropping list-style-position: inside seems to fix your issue in Firefox (and still works in Chrome), but I haven't tested the implications in other browsers. The CSS rule is documented here.
The reason why : browsers apply their own css if you don't specify it. Firefox added the space for your bullet (somehow)
FF :
list-style-image none
list-style-position outside
list-style-type disc
GooChrome :
list-style-image: none;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-type: none;

I can't remove the pressed effect of buttons in Internet Explorer 9

I'm trying to remove the pressed effect from button on IE9. In all other browsers I have no problems.
Please take a look to the code
HTML
<button class="fancy">howdy!</button>
CSS
.fancy {
width: 60px;
height: 30px;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px;
display: block;
border: none;
padding: 0;
color: #FFF;
font-size: 11px;
background: green;
outline: none;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 11px;
}
.fancy:active,.fancy:focus
{
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border: none;
outline:none;
text-indent: 0;
line-height: 11px;
}
Working demo http://jsfiddle.net/MDfvE/
As you can see, when you click the button on IE9 you will see that the text is moved to the right and bottom. I want to remove that.
Any clue? Thank you!
IE only recognizes the :active pseudo class when the element is an anchor.

Try changing the button element to an anchor tag and adjust the styling to recreate the look you had for your button.
It's a browser behaviour, a simple solution is to use a link tag instead of button (if its triggering a javascript function).
<img src="myimg"/>
If you still want to use the <button>, I've found that there are some characteristics on each browser (in a simple debug):
Chrome adds outline and padding
Firefox adds a whole lot of stuff with the standart button border
IE messes with the inner text position
So to fix them, you have to manipulate the pseudo selectors for the button behaviour. And for IE, a good solution is to envolve your text on a element, and make it relative positioned. Like so:
<button type="button" class="button"><span>Buttom or Image</span></button>
<style>
button,
button:focus,
button:active{
border:1px solid black;
background:none;
outline:none;
padding:0;
}
button span{
position: relative;
}
</style>

CSS - image sprite :active not working ie

Here is my code, which works perfectly in all but ie! The active simply does not fire
a.Button span {
background: transparent url('images/form_sprite.png') no-repeat 0 0;
display: block;
height:45px;
line-height: 30px;
padding: 7px 0 5px 20px;
color: #fff;
background-position: 0 -44px;
}
a.Button {
background: transparent url('images/form_sprite.png') no-repeat top right;
display: block;
float: left;
height: 45px;
margin-right: 6px;
padding-right: 27px;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
}
a.Button:hover span {
background-position: 0 -136px;
}
a.Button:hover {
background-position: right -90px;
}
a.Button:active span {
background-position: 0 -225px;
}
a.Button:active {
background-position: right -181px;
}
This is the html:
<div class="clearbutton"> <a class="Button" href="#"><span>Button text</span></a> </div>
Any ideas please?
try changing a.Button:active to a.Button span:active in your css. That seems to be firing the :active css and still works in chrome for me.
Yep, the :active psuedo-class only fires in IE when the user is clicking directly on that object. In this case, the link. If you're clicking on a child object (the span), the link's active event won't fire.
You can, as Aninemity said, apply the style to span:active (the proper way to do this). But in IE6/7, :active fires only for links. If you need IE6/7 support, you'll have to find some way to get rid of the span.
