I am using bootstrap's dropdown from a navigation div, and I'd like to change the color of the the sub-menu links on hover. Nothing I'm attempting works, and I can't make sense of it. It's not having any effect even when trying to run things from the chrome console.
I have created a css file where I override the defaults. The background change for normal a tags work, but the hover doesn't. Why is that? I also tried affecting the li and using !important, but none of that is having any effect.
I'm using Bootstrap 3.1.1. Here's my css:
.dropdown-menu > li > a {
color: white; /* This has an effect */
}
.dropdown-menu > li > a:hover {
background-color: red; /* This doesn't... why? */
}
And check out this jsfiddle too for a demonstration (for some reason you need to drag the result panel a whole lot to the left before you see the button). Any ideas?
edit
Note I am trying to change the background color for the links in the dropdown, not for the main button which is MyProfile.
Bootstrap defines a background image for the elements to override some clashes in their media queries. Remove the image to use a simple fill color.
You can redefine your hover as follows:
.dropdown-menu > li > a:hover {
background-image: none;
background-color: red;
}

There's a collapsed navbar on this website
The background color of the tabs is white, and I want to change it. I tried this code in CSS:
#media (max-width: 767px) {
.nav-collapse
{
background-color: red;
}
}
And it sort of works, it adds red lines under each tab, but it does not change the background color.
You can see what it does if you visit the site on mobile and click the navbar to collapse it.
I'm trying to change this only for MOBILE.
I'm sure there's an easy solution to this, but I can't figure it out.
Can someone help?
it is because your grey background is set on anchors and not on NAV it self
if you do this:
.header ul.nav li a {
background: red;
}
it will work..
I just checked again and you have background added to 3 elements you have red on your outer wrapper, you have white added to list element and grey on your anchors
Basically in your html there is inline style either remove that or change there the color or if you wanted that to change through css use following code:
.nav-collapse ul li { backgroud-color: red !important; }

I cant for the life of me figure out how to style the bootstrap dropdown menus using CSS.
I can manage to get the background color to change but that's it. The links don't have an underline and the Hover background colour does not change. I haven't even started with the down arrows yet either!! Any advice?
Heres the code im trying:
#NAV .dropdown-menu { background-color:#273961; border-bottom: 5px solid #CCC;}
#NAV .dropdown-menu>li>a:link { background-color:#273961;}
#NAV .dropdown-menu>li>a:hover{ text-decoration: underline;}
Hopefully this helps.
ul.dropdown-menu {
border-bottom: 5px solid #CCC;
}
.dropdown-menu li:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
I was a little confused what you wanted to do with the background-color of the list items in your dropdown menu. Here's an example of one way to change the background color when hovering over each link. Using !important after a CSS attribute might help in some circumstances when you want to override any subsequent rules (but it might not be the BEST way to do this).
I recommend opening up your Chrome dev tools and playing around a bit until you get the desired results. I'm assuming you want to change the background-color of your list items when hovering to a different color than what you specified (#273961) since it is already that color to begin with?
.dropdown-menu li a:hover {
background-color: red !important;
}
The Inspinia AngularJS framework has a demo here for those who don't use it.
For the life of me, I cannot see how to change the background colour of the navigation menu on the left. It should be simple, but I just can't find it, even using the Chrome developer console.
[Update] I want to change the color programmatically from AngularJS, what's the best way to do that? Maybe add an Id to the background div?
Make some changes, according to the images below:
I hope to have helped in some way
i guess this will help u
body{
background-color: #F44336;
}
.nav-header{
background-color: #F44336;
background-image: none;
}
.nav > li.active{
background: #c7635b;
}
.navbar-default .nav > li > a:hover, .navbar-default .nav > li > a:focus{
background-color: red;
}
.nav-header and other elements in your sidebar use background-image and those images are opaque, not showing the background color. You need to check (and reset) background-image property of items in your sidebar for this.
Example:
.nav-header {
background-image: unset;
}
#side-menu {
background-color: #933;
}
.nav > li.active {
background-color: #833;
}
Keep inspecting your elements until you find what rule sets the backgorund-image, background-color or background (shorthand) for the element, copy the selector of the currently applying rule and place it in your own stylesheet, changing the value of the property. Make sure you load it after the rest of your stylesheets.
There is no background-color defined in sidebar, its the background-color of body, and the middle content section has light grey bg color, so change the body-color and sidebar color will be changed.

I've been racking my brain for awhile with some css for this wordpress website On the navigation menu (Campus, National, World,...) I'm trying to do some custom css where when you hover your mouse over the menu items and they change color. Right now they only turn black except for the Campus menu item which changes to what I want for a moment then changes to black.
My attempt was to try this short css in the stylesheet, but it didn't work. I suspect I might have to adjust the upper-nested classes.
.menu-item-28 a:hover{
background:#1f61c4;
}
This is probably an easy question but my css-fu is pretty bad. Any help help is much appreciated!
Try changing your selector to
#menu-main-navigation li a:hover{
background-color:#1f61c4;
}
This will target any anchor (a) inside your main navigation (instead of only the one found under .menu-item-28 - ie. campus)
There is this CSS rule in the code
#nav nav > ul > li > a:hover {
background: #222222;
border-color: #222222;
color: #fff;
}
which causes the black background on hover. You probably can't change that, I suppose. But if you put another rule somewhere "later" (= below it) in the code, you can overwrite it with your own background color:
#nav nav > ul > li > a:hover {
background: #1f61c4;
}
I have this code, please observe this fiddle:

When you hover over the words, the text color changes to white - which is how I want it. However, when hovering over the 20px border-bottom, the text color does not change to white. Just hover your mouse over the border-bottom and check.
How do I make so that the text color changes to white when you hover the bottom as well? I currently have hover settings on ul#secondary-menu a:hover { color: #FFFFFF;}
Just add (or amend your existing CSS to include) the following:
#second-menu ul.nav li:hover a {
color: #fff;
}
JS Fiddle demo.
Can you explain why it was not changing the hover previously and how this helped. As I mentioned, my coding knowledge is limited so I am trying to learn what the issue was here
It wasn't changing the hover effects previously because you'd, presumably (and I am presuming, I gave up reading your CSS less than half-way through), specified a :hover rule for the a element that was a child of the li element, but the border is attached to the li, not the a. So hovering over the li's border had no effect.
This rule simply specifies that the colour of the a element within the li should be white (#fff) in response to the mouse hovering over the li element. In practice, placing this rule at the end of the stylesheet caused it to override any other conflicting rules that might have been declared elsewhere (and, once again, I gave up reading the stylesheet due to its length).
I'd recommend finding whatever rule you have that defines the a:hover effects, and add the two rules together, for example:
#second-menu ul.nav li a:hover,
#second-menu ul.nav li:hover a {
color: #fff;
}
The specificity may not need to be quite so high, so you might be able to reduce the selector, to something shorter like:
ul.nav li a:hover,
ul.nav li:hover a {
color: #fff;
}
Oh, and it's worth noting that you have quite a mix of in-line (style="...") and external styles (using a stylesheet); try and use only the external form, for clarity and for ease of updating, editing and maintaining.
If you want the border to be a part of the hyperlink (that is, the user can click on the hyperlink when the mouse is over the border), then you'll need to remove the border from the li and add it to the hyperlink instead. If necessary, add display:inline-block to the hyperlink.
If the border doesn't need to be a part of the hyperlink, then #David Thomas's suggestion should be all you need.
Modified demo
Search for the string
ul#secondary-menu a:hover { color: #FFFFFF;}
in your css style and replace it with
ul#secondary-menu li:hover a{ color: #FFFFFF;}
