Please note: I have already tried the solution listed here which does not serve my purposes as it still draws a box around the image
Update: I have taken a further look into this and found that one solution is to draw an SVG of the image in question and make this the button so that there is not such a large box surrounding the image. I would prefer not to do this as I have many assets but would this be the only solution?
I am trying to place a button on my website but make it so that the clickable area is exactly the image and nothing else. I have been trying to find solutions for this but perhaps I am not searching the correct terms.
At present, I am using Bootstrap to create a button for a carousel. This works fine but the issue I am having is the square border around the button itself which will cause a problem as I put more buttons on the page that are closely placed together.
I would like the clickable area to be restricted strictly to the png itself, which includes the white border seen on the image linked above.
My code at present looks as follows.
HTML:
<div class='background'></div>
<div class="map">
<img id='mainMap' src='assets/maps/map.png' alt='map'>
<!-- Modal's toggle button has data that's used to determine what content to use -->
<!-- Bridge icons -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary-outline-btn bridge-btn" id='bridge1' data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal"><img class="bridge_icon" src="assets/icons/bridge1.png" alt="image"></button>
</div>
CSS:
.camera_icon, .video_icon{
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
.bridge_icon {
width: 150px;
height: auto;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#bridge1 {
top: 3%;
left: 10%;
position: inherit;
}
/* Buttons */
.btn, .btn-outline-primary, .video-btn {
background-color: transparent;
border-color: #ccc;
padding: 0px;
box-shadow: none;
}
.btn:focus,.btn:active {
outline: none !important;
box-shadow: none;
}
.bridge-btn {
border-color: hotpink;
}
.btn-outline-primary:hover, .video-btn:hover{
background-color: #e4dbef;
border-color: #ccc;
}
.btn-outline-primary:focus, .video-btn:focus{
background-color: #e4dbef;
outline: none;
border-color: #ccc;
}
.btn:focus, .btn:active:focus, .btn.active:focus { outline: none; ! important; outline-style: none; }
Any help you could provide would be very useful.
Thank you.
If I understand correctly the button has a border you don't want? If that is the case try changing btn-primary-outline-btn to btn-transparent-outline-btn

Any ideas on how i can execute this?

i have tried to add "body .contact button" to let css file know it is the contact us page i am editing but it wont work it only goes to change the style on my other pages aswell so essentially.
body .contact button {
background:
but this doesnt work, any ideas how i can change the style of this button without affecting the others in my css file?
The .contact does not mean the contact page but instead refers to a class called contact.
You could give each of the buttons a different class for example if you wanted one to be red and the other blue:
HTML page 1:
<button class="button-red">This is a red button</button
HTML page 2:
<button class="button-blue">This is a red button</button
CSS file:
.button-red {
background-color: red;
}
.button-blue {
background-color: blue;
}
Just change the colours to your own styling.
Hope this helps.
You really need to search online for 'CSS selectors' and learn how and why to use them.
An example: create CSS rules that are true for all button and create exceptions to those rules using specific selectors. E.g. all buttons are green, except a contact button is red.
The generic rules can be put in a separate CSS file and <link>ed in a document. Create the specific rules in-document with a <style> block to override/modify/add to the linked generic rules.
There are many alternative ways to solve your issue, this is just one of them...
Tip: CSS rules are nothing more than an eleborate list of logical statements varying from easy to virtually unexplicable selectors to modify the style of your document:
if selector,
list-of-selectors,
very-special-selectors
what-does-this-one-do?!?-selector then { property: value }
example
/* put this in an external CSS file */
button { background-color: green }
/* put this in a <style> block */
button.contact { background-color: red }
<button>generic 1</button>
<button>generic 2</button>
<button>generic 3</button>
<br>
<button class="contact">contact</button>
Suppose we have a button
<button> your text </button>
and we ave to use this CSS/style
background: #1c00b5;
width: 100px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: #fff;
height: 35px;
border-radius: 30px;
margin-top: 20px;
box-shadow: 0px 5px 15px 0px rgba(28,0,181,0.3);
so, we will add a id to button like
<button id="contact-btn"> your text </button>
and then add style using id selector
#contact-btn{
background: #1c00b5;
width: 100px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: #fff;
height: 35px;
border-radius: 30px;
margin-top: 20px;
box-shadow: 0px 5px 15px 0px rgba(28,0,181,0.3);
}
it will work thanks
I'm trying to style my link with black background, using the code below:
a#link-1: link{
background: black;
padding: 20px;
}
However; it won't show up on the browser!
Please, check it out. This is the entire code
Is that the effect you want ?

a#link-1 {
background: #333;
padding: 10px;
}
I basically want to create a button like the big "Download Bootstrap" button on this side: http://getbootstrap.com/
Note: I want to create the button myself just with css & html and not with the twitter-bootstrap framework
I was able to do it pretty well but then I noticed that there was a bug: http://jsfiddle.net/vk5DV/
If you zoom in while hovering over the button you will notice that in the corner of the button there is something wrong. I think the link itself gets styled with the white background but I have no idea why.
#googlink a {
color: white;
transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;
}
#googlink :hover {
background-color: white !important;
color: #99CC00;
}
why does the link get a white background too (and not only the button div)?
If a border-radius is added it seems ok
eg
#googlink :hover {
background-color: white !important;
border-radius: 6px;
color: #99CC00;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/f3kzb/show/
Although if you simplify it a bit, i think it works fine with the code you already have. Also specified as a class to be used with any link.
http://jsfiddle.net/fe25t/
html
<div id="green">
Google
</div>
css
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#green {
background-color: #99CC00;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
}
.special-link {
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 40px;
display: inline-flex;
height: auto;
width: auto;
font-size: 65px;
background-color: #99CC00;
border: 2px solid white;
color: white;
transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;
}
.special-link:hover {
background-color: white !important;
color: #99CC00;
}
Do not use a div, just style the link (a).
Currently you are styling both the link and the div, which is not necessary - this creates conflicts and, semantically, is useless.
You would want to use a div only if you needed to nest multiple elements within it and then position the div to position all the elements at once (just an example).
There you go.. check this out.. The hover border has to be round so that it does not overlap the normal border. This addition is under the hood of the main button border so it does not pop out at the corners.
#googlink :hover {
border-radius: 6px;
background-color: white !important;
color: #99CC00;
}

I have some text and want it to be higher and inline with the first icon. This is it live: http://www.penguinie.co.uk/#projects the css is:
.german img {
height: 100;
width: 100;
padding: 2px 2px 1px 2px;
}
.german img:hover {
border: 1px solid #2e8ece;
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
}
.german-content {
display: none;
float: right;
width: 400px;
}
.german:hover .german-content {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid;
}
.german-content p {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 30px;
word-spacing: 5px;
color: black;
}
.chembond img {
height: 100;
width: 100;
padding: 2px 2px 1px 2px;
}
.chembond img:hover {
border: 1px solid #2e8ece;
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
}
.chembond-content {
display: none;
float: right;
width: 400px;
}
.chembond:hover .chembond-content {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid;
}
.chembond-content p {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 30px;
word-spacing: 5px;
color: black;
overflow: scroll;
}
And this is the HTML:
<section id="projects-content">
<p>Projects</p>
<section class="german">
<img src="assets/img/german.png" height="60" width="50" />
<section class="german-content">
<p>I started this project because I have seen many students in my German class keep on getting the tenses wrong by putting verbs in the wrong places, missunderstanding past participles etc... so I started this to help students (or anyone) understand the sometimes confusing German tenses. Each tense page consistes of three sub-sections: a question, an answer and a statement. These then in turn include an example and an explanation. If you were to hover over some of the words then a popup box will appear, explaining the use of the word. You can see it here (please bare in mind that this is still a work in progress). If you want to email me a tip about it, or just ask me about it then don't hesitate to contact me.</p>
</section>
</section>
<section class="chembond">
<img src="assets/img/bonding.png" height="60" width="50" />
<section class="chembond-content">
<p>This isn't much of a project, more homework. In Science we were asked to create a poster on the different types of bonding (ionic, metallic, covalent, etc) and I naturally said no as I cannot draw and hate making posters. I then did it as homework and made a website. It was a joint website with my friend Elliott who did all the drawings/images, I then wrote the code. If you are wondering if my teacher like it then I can tell you that he did. If you want to see it then click here. I know there is one mistake in the image but I have put a note at the bottom of that section.</p>

So when I hover over the second icon I want the text in the box to be the same height as the first one is when you hover over it.
Here is what you should add to your css:
.chembond-content {
display: none;
float: right;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
top: -72px;
}
You could add margin-top with a negative value to your CSS, but NO.
A much more maintainable solution would be to have only one <section class="content"> tag, align it, and with JS change the text when hovering over the relevant icon.
when making a question here with simple CSS and HTML consider doing a jsFiddle and sharing that instead of a personal link, otherwise when this is working and your live link changes then the question will be irrelevant.
The CSS Position Approach
So here is my fiddle minus a bit of code clutter:
Demo
The reason the second image is hovered to reveal the the section element with the class of .chembond-content and the element is not at the top (like the first image) is because you are floating it to the right but it's still part of the document flow after that image that you have right before the section.
If you want to have both elements open up in the same spot then you would get them out of the document flow by giving them a fixed or absolute position which in this example I simple set it to 20 pixels from the top and from the right.
Since these elements are not taking up space in the flow of your markup then you are free to position both at the top if you want to.
I have applied the following html
<input type="image" value="Search" class="button" src="" onclick="this.form.searchword.focus();">
and this is the css...
#header form .button
{
/*border:solid 1px #999;*/
background:#664335 url(../images/btn-search.jpg) no-repeat ;
/*color:#fff;*/
display: inline-block;
font-size: 0;
width: 16px;
height: 20px;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: transparent !important;
border: none;
}
I tried by removing the width and height and setting a padding value to it but no-success for this. As I searched different questions, I came to know that if src attribute is not applied then border will appear. But in my case the markup I can't edit, so is there any method to remove that bug.
Anyway I solved it by changing type image to button with jquery.
Apply CSS:
#header form .button {
border: solid 1px #999;
background: #664335 url(../images/btn-search.jpg) no-repeat;
color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 0;
width: 16px;
height: 20px;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: transparent !important;
// delete this
border: none;
}
This questing has been asked more than one time, and the best posible solution to this is just to use type="submit" instead of type="image"and just style it in CSS as you like
P.S. type="image" will not work in chrome as you want, try finding another way for your code, because that border is place holder for an error image like in IE widely known red cross in white box, its just there, you may try adding image that has "Search" written on it or maybe add 1x1 px transparent image there, but thats all.
