I have all links on my site underlined when hovered using the following css:
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
How can I make a class which will override this?
.footer {
text-decoration: none;
}
Your second selector is less accurate than the first one, therefore it's the first one that is applied.
Plus, you shouldn't target such a wide selector (.footer) in order to only style your links. What you should do is:
.footer a:hover{ text-decoration: none; }
(As I assume that default a state doesn't have a text-decoration: underline;)
This code seemed to fix it although it wasn't working earlier:
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
.footer a{
text-decoration:none;
}

So in my CSS file, I have:
a {
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold
}
But I don't want all links to be of that certain color/weight. So how would I create a specific "instance" of it, so that I could define the CSS for all HTML tags within a specific div (say nav), but won't affect the links outside of that div?
Assuming your div has id nav and you want all links inside it to have these styles...
#nav a {
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold
}
Alternatively, you could assign a class to specific links...
Link1
Link2
using this css:
a.my-link-class {
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold
}
Just make the rule specific to all anchors within div#nav tag:
#nav a {
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold
}
You can select particular links within a block with the basic CSS syntax and the nav HTML5 tag:
nav a { /* every "a" tag in nav blocks */
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold
}
You can specify which div if you have many with a class or an ID:
div#nav a { /* every "a" tag in nav block id="nav" */
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold
}
You can make your "a" tag, selector, id or class specific. Like so..
nav a{
color:#f00;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:20px;
}
#menu a{
color:blue;
text-decoration:underline;
font-size:16px;
}
.menu a{
color:green;
text-decoration:underline;
font-size:14px;
}
Within the div id="nav" all the "a" elements will have the same style, as you set it through CSS (like the first div you see below). You can also create a second div to manage the styling when the mouse is over the "a" element.
#nav a {
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold;}
#nav a:hover{
color:grey;
text-decoration: underline;
font-weight:bold;}
#a1 {
color:#00adef;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight:bold
}
<a href="..." >Link</a>
Link1
<a href="..." >Link2</a>
Hi I'm trying to make a joomla site here, only one problem I can't seem to figure out. The color of my active link doesn't change, it has an image and a color, the image is in place as it should be, but the color doesn't change. Anyone an idea? here's the css:
a {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:link, a:visited {color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;}
a:focus, a:hover {
color: #e2231a;
text-decoration: none;
}
#links li.active {
color: #e2231a;
text-decoration: none;
background: url("../images/hover.png") bottom center no-repeat;
padding-bottom: 17px;
}
I know the active statement looks different then the rest, but this was the only way to get my image to show. Really stuck on this..
Used to this for a tag
#links li.active a {
// here style for your anchor link
}
If you want just the list elements within Links to change when active use this.
#links li:active a {color:#000;}
If you want all lists to be effected by this change use
li:active a {color:#000;}
If you want more than just the li elements to change ie ever single link on the site that is active to obey these rules then use the following
a:active {color:#000;}
Hope this helps you out.
I'm having an issue on my site http://noahsdad.com; if you look at the widget I installed at the very bottom, you can't see the links unless you hover over them. This doesn't just happen with this widget, almost any I put in have a 'haze' over them, if that makes sense.
I'm wondering if someone could help me figure out what's going on, and how to correct it.
Thanks.
The links are visible, they are just set to a light grey colour. You have these rules defined in your default.css file:
a:link, a:visited {
color: #EEEEEE;
}
a:hover {
color: #999999;
}
You could change the value of the standard link colour, or you create a new rule with a higher specitivity, so that only links in that widget are affected.
#dsq-combo-widget a {
color: #999;
}
Update
You haven't specified the color for your new style:
.widget ul li a:link, .widget ul li a:visited {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #999; <-- Add this
}
Only because of color you can't see it but it's visible. You have a predefined color (#EEE) for all of your "a:link, a:visited" at "http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/ProPhoto_10/style.css" at line 3 and all links are inheriting that color so if you want to change the color for your widgets then add another color like
.widget ul li a:link, .widget ul li a:visited {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #333; /*or whatever you want*/
}
It's at line 345 in the same file.
I've a button and I wanted to know if it is possible to make the css bellow shorter.
.button a:link, .button a:visited, .button a:hover, .button a:active {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
I mean maybe:
.button a:* {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
Maybe there isn't any shorter way, but I just wanted to know.
I found something like this out:
.button a:link:visited:hover:active {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
But it wasn't working, don't know why..
For information - I've general css for a in the top of the file:
a:link {
color: #DA5632;
}
a:visited {
color: #CE3408;
}
a:hover {
color: #289BF8;
}
a:active {
color: #CE3408;
}
So the button class a should overwrite the main a css.
.button a is all you need
I always set a default style on a, and target pseudo classes only when I need to have a different effect.
Edit to include fix from comments:
Because a default style for the a element is declared like:
a:link {
color: #DA5632;
}
a:visited {
color: #CE3408;
}
a:hover {
color: #289BF8;
}
a:active {
color: #CE3408;
}
at the top of the stylesheet, we need to make it body .button a by increasing selectivity we increase the importance of the styles applied.
Here are some things to try
make sure that your stylesheet has a rule for ".button a" - also make sure this stylesheet is included after the global one defining rules for "a".
If that doesn't work, try being more specific, as in: ".button > a", only selecting direct descendants.
If THAT doesn't work, while it's bad practice, you could always mark your styles as important, like so:
color: #fff !important;
this will demand that they are parsed last.
I have the following HTML:
Bioshock 2<span> - Xbox 360 review</span>
I'd like to style the first part of the link in one way and the span in another, like this:
I've managed to do this, using the following CSS:
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
a span {
color: #c8c8c8;
}
a:link,
a:visited {
color: #787878;
}
a:hover,
a:active {
color: #fff;
background-color: #a10000;
}
However, it doesn't work as expected when I hover over it:
I'd like the entire link to have the same hover effect and not have the span keep its colour. I'd also like this to happen whether you're hovering over the span or the rest of the link. The desired effect would look like this:
Any ideas how I could do this?
Try:
a:hover, a:active, a:hover span {
// ...
}
instead of:
a:hover, a:active {
// ...
}
Add this css code to it:
a span:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #a10000;
}
And here is the demonstration. :)
