CSS hovering issue - css

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

<div id="popup">

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;

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.

Custom underline effect, other than creating a background image for it

is there a better way to create this style of "underline" through CSS, other than creating a background image for it?
To be clear, I'm only interested in the "duplicated line" effect, a thicker and shorter line sitting directly atop a thinner and longer line of a different color. Thanks!
You can use pseudo elements here, i.e. :before and :after. Here, what am doing is, using an h1 element which am displaying it as inline-block. Later, we need to use CSS positioning to set both the bottom borders in place, as the borders are smaller than your element.
Later, again by using CSS positioning, we position the small border on top of the bigger one. Note that am using left: 50%; and transform: translateX(-50%) to position the border in horizontally center.
Make sure you don't miss out the z-index as it is important to use here, else the other border will render on top of the smaller one.
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round');

}
h1:after {
width: 80%;

}
<h1>Our <span>Services</span></h1>
Edit: Refactored my code and making the demo more precisee.
Try this
HTML
<div class="text">

Services
</div>
CSS
.text{
font-weight:600;
font-size:25px;
color:red;
position: relative;
display:inline-block;
}
.text::after,
.text::before{
content:"";
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: -5px;
margin:auto;
border-radius:5px;
height:0px;
}
.text::before{
width:100%;
border:1px solid #ccc;
}
.text::after{
width:50%;
border:2px solid red;
bottom:-6px;
}
.text span{
color:#000000;

hope this helps..
I always create "divider", like:
<div class='divider'>
<div class='divi-1'></div>
<div class='divi-2'></div>
<div class='divi-3'></div>
</div>
CSS:
.divider{
padding-top:15px; //or other
text-align:center;
display:block; // or column in bootstrap like col-md-12
}
.divider .divi-1{
display:inline-block;
height:2px; //or other
width:50px; // or other
background:#e5e5e5;
.
.divider .divi-2{
display:inline-block;
height:2px;
width:50px;
background:#000000;
}
.divider .divi-1{
display:inline-block;
height:2px; //or other
width:50px; // or other
background:#e5e5e5;
}
And that's it. You can also use vertical-align for inline-block so You have some more options to move lines verticaly ... and also it's in the flow so You know what size it have and can be sure that other elements won't overlap it.

Button shakes on hover

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;
}

spacing between thumbnails disappeared after using another lightbox

I used to have no problem with the css code i have been using. But, after I have changed from using "Lightbox2" to "fancybox", the spacing between the thumbnails and the thumbnail border (when mouse hovering above) disappeared. What has gone wrong?
Compare the problem page after switching to using fancybox (www.lixiao-art.com/test.html ) with the page using Lightbox2 ( www.lixiao-art.com/latest.html )
This is the code I use:
body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: black;
margin: 0px;
background-color: RGB(181,170,128);}
*{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:normal
}
#nav {float: left;
position: fixed;
background-color: RGB(233,231,197);
text-align: left;
font-size: 11px;
color: #645630;
width: 90px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 100px 20px 100px 30px;
border: none;
min-height: 100%;
}
#content {float: left;
margin-left: 150px;
padding: 15px 20px 10px 80px;
width: 900px;
margin-top: 0px;
border: none;
font: black;
font-size: 11px;
}
#content a {text-decoration:underline}
h2 {height: 2em;}
.footer {
text-align:center;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 1em;
font-size: 11px;
}
a{text-decoration: none;
color: #645630;}
a:hover {color: red;}
* {margin: 0;}
html, body, wrapper {height: 100%;}
.ImgBorder img { border:2px solid transparent;
height:100px;
}
.ImgBorder:hover img{ border-color: white}
.ImgBorder {display: block;
float: left;
margin: 30px 20px; }
h5{
clear:both
}
img { border: none; }
Thank you!
In your previous Lightbox2, each image is wrapped in an anchor
<a class="ImgBorder">
and the class ImgBorder has the value margin: 30px 20px
In your current Fancybox, you can just add this missing margin margin: 30px 20px to the class fancybox as each image is now wrapped in an anchor
<a class="fancybox"/>
As I just noticed that there doesn't seem to be any class fancybox already defined, you just have to add
.fancybox
{
margin: 30px 20px;
}
e.g. in your global.css
Update: In case you also want to display the border for the fancybox-images, there are two ways of achieving this: Currently you have both lightbox versions on your test page. For the first image the border is still displayed for hover. Following CSS is taking care about that:
.ImgBorder img {
border: 2px solid transparent;
height: 100px;
}
.ImgBorder:hover img {
border-color:white;
}
for an image markup as follows for your first image:
<a class="ImgBorder" rel="lightbox[gaze]"
href="http://www.lixiao-art.com/work/2014/52.jpg">
<img src="work/2014/52_t.jpg">
</a>
Your current fancybox-markup is like this for your second image:
<a href="work/2014/52.jpg" rel="group" class="fancybox">
<img src="work/2014/52_t.jpg">
</a>
So all you have to add is the border and hover for the fancybox-class:
.fancybox img {
border: 2px solid transparent;
height: 100px;
}
.fancybox:hover img {
border-color:white;
}
It's possible that there are some additional adjustments because of the CSS that fancybox uses, but it's easier if you just check this on your site as I just noticed that you're currently working on it.
At the moment your fancybox images "jump" because you added the CSS
.fancybox:hover
{
border-color:white;
margin:30px 20px;
}
which results in setting this margin on hover (therefore jumping then). I suggest you just try the CSS I posted above, that should work.
Update 2 for the comments follow-up questions:
The attributes class and rel stands for the following:
rel (='related') is an attribute containing information for you previous lightbox. The lightbox script will just fetch the information for e.g. a big image or a link from there.
class: as you noticed, almost all in your css-file starts with a dot (.) followed by a name. This name is the name of the class to which the style information will apply. So .test {color:red;} results in displaying a text red in case it's wrapped in an element with the class test, e.g. a <div>: <div class="test">This is red text</div>.
Update for the margins:
To keep the margins to your images when you remove it for the :hover - the correct way to have the margins is just like that:
.fancybox img
{
margin:30px 20px;
}
As you already have one .fancybox img in your CSS, just add this margin to it, though you can also have these selectors multiple times in a CSS file, it's better to keep the styles applying to an element together.
Thank you very much! You've pointed out the problem with my multiple classes, and I've fixed it accordingly like this:
<a class="fancybox ImgBorder" rel="group" href="work/2014/52.jpg"">
<img src="work/2014/52_t.jpg">
</a>
(instead of making new definitions in my global.css)
But, a small problem shows up: this line shows in red colour in the editor at the backoffice. Is there a problem with this line? but I guess I will open a new thread for this.
Thanks again!

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">

<li id="li-left">Product Training Videos</li>
<li id="li-right">Educational Courses</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#navigation {

margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;

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;

}
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;

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.
