I would like a line of text to show a pop up of an image when hovered. Preferably just by using html and/or css. I am using ecommerce templates shopping cart software. When I try coding this, my image is automatically already shown on my webpage. It shouldn't show until the text is hovered.
I have tried code that I have found by doing google searches. I am unsure if the template is the reason why the code isn't working correctly.
a img {
display: none;
}
a:hover img {
display: block;
}
<li>
<a href="#">Hover
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150"/>
</a>
</li>
I expect to be able to hover the text and have an image pop up until I am no longer hovering over the text.
you need to set the image inside the element you want to hover with display none, than set display block using this selector a:hover .onlyHover, thats mean: set display block on element inside an hovered url, you can change the a:hover with a specific class like .youClass:hover .onlyHover
Check the code snippet:
.onlyHover{
display:none;
}
a:hover .onlyHover{
display:block;
}
<a href="#">HOVER TO SEE
<div class="onlyHover">
<img src="https://placeimg.com/640/480/any">
</div>
</a>

I'm having trouble getting the right selector.
Let me try to explain the best way I can:
I'm working on a project that I cannot change HTML and Javascript, it has some dynamic HTML and other reasons.
On the project, there is an image on a <img> tag.
However, I need to change colors between two layouts, and as you can see on the HTML/CSS the only way I got that to work is to hide th <img> tag and set a background to the anchor, that has a title.
So, now, when I change the layouts, the image changes, however there is also something else, this image on click hides the menu and changes the image one more time.
Now, I need to hide the background on the anchor when the title on the image changes.
Here is the HTML BEFORE clicking the image
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Esconder menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="images/ico_hidemh.png" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
And here is the HTML AFTER I click on the image
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Exibir menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="images/ico_showmh.png" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
THE CSS
I HIDE THE ORIGINAL IMAGE, USED ON THE OTHER LAYOUT
#ul-icone-mh li a img {
visibility: hidden !important;
}
AND SET THE NEW IMAGE
a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"] {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-image: url(../images/ico_hidemhc.png);
background-size: 16px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
And when I click it, the image stays the same, but I need to hide that image when the title changes and add another image.
Any ideas what I can do?
You need a bit more than just the right CSS selector. The problem there is the old stumbling block that there is no parent selector.
A bit more thought and work is required.
img { height:50px; width:50px }
ul {padding: 0; list-style:none;}
.icones a::after {
content: '';
height:50px; width:100px;
background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #00FF00 50%, #0000FF 50%);
display:inline-block;
}
.icones a {
height:50px; width:50px;
display:block;
white-space:nowrap;
overflow:hidden;
font-size:0;
}
.icones a img[title='Esconder menu horizontal'] {
margin-left: -50px;
}
.icones a img[title='Exibir menu horizontal'] {
margin-left: -100px;
}
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Esconder menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="http://placehold.it/200/ff0000" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Exibir menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="http://placehold.it/200/990000" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Here I've increased the images to 50x50px from 16x16px to make them a bit easier to see but the principle is just the same.
For the two images referenced by the HTML, I've used two blocks that are different shades of red.
For the two CSS overlay images, for simplicity I've used a linear gradient making a block that's the height of the image and twice the width. The left half is green and the right half blue. You would use a sprite for the two images you want to display. The left half of the sprite would contain the "Esconder ..." replacement image and the right half of the sprite would contain the "Exibir ..." replacement image.
I've also shown both cases together rather than switching between them on click, again for simplicity.
The idea is that the left margin of the image is made negative to shift it out of the a element. The pseudo element that follows contains the sprite and is shifted into that space, either by the width of the image, or twice the width of the image to show different contents for the two cases.
Hence we get a green box for the "Esconder ..." case and a blue box for the "Exibir ..." case.
So if I understand correctly, then the title is "esconder", you want to hide the default image and inject your own. And otherwise you want to show the original (when the title is "exibir".)
You have correctly identified how you would target the a tag based on the title: a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"]. What you then need to do is only exclude the image when it is inside of this tag, and then replace it with your own image. You then also need to give it an explicit size, and declare the a tag which now directly has the background image with some size. Like so:
a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"] img { display: none; }
a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"] {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-image: url(../images/ico_hidemhc.png);
background-size: 16px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
display:inline-block;
}
You will notice I added a few lines to your existing styling:
display:inline-block tells the browser that this element should follow the flow like an inline element, but should have block-type semantics. By default, an anchor tag is an inline element, which means it doesn't have explicit size or width -- just what is enforced by its children. Since you've delcared that the child is not to be seen, the anchor tag effectively collapses to be of 0x0 size.
height:16px; width:16px tells the browser the size you want for this image. I guessed at these dimensions based on the background-size property you had set. Since we've told the browser using the display property that this element has explicit size, we now tell it what that size is.
It's not very clear what you're trying to accomplish, but if you're trying to change the anchor based on the image, this is simply not possible using CSS alone.
You can target child elements based on their parents, but you can not target parent elements based on their children in CSS (currently).
The only way to do this would be to affect how the HTML renders the two options, or using Javascript.
There are a few different suggested specs for such a selector, but none have yet been implemented.
Since the img tag is what has the dynamic title, that is the only thing you will be able to target with your CSS. If you cannot accomplish your task by targeting the img then it can't be done within the constraints you stated.

I was wondering as to how you could style <a> tags without affecting <button> tags.
a:hover{
text-decoration: underline;
}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mrredblob.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/homework/style.css">
<button>A link</button>
If you need to use a button like display for an anchor - such that clicking on it should redirect to another page, you could use something like this:
<button onclick="location.href='https://www.google.com'">A link</button>
The onclick event will execute when the user clicks the button, and redirects the user to appropriate page.
You can see it working by pasting the following in a new tab in your browser:
data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<button onclick="location.href='https://www.google.com'">A link</button>
It won't work in the snippets/JS Fiddle due to ~sandbox constraints on snippet's iframe.
Is this what you're looking for?
HTML
<a href="#">
<button>
<span>A link</span>
</button>
</a>`
CSS
span:hover{
text-decoration: underline;
}
The anchor tag's content in your example is a button, and you're trying to set the text decoration of a button, which is not text. The button contains text, but that text is a child of the button, and the button is a child of the anchor. Therefore, the anchor does not have a text value to apply that css property.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
HTML
Here is<button>A link</button>Some text
CSS
a:hover{
text-decoration: none;
}
Additionally, you can apply a wrapper class to your anchor to style the child elements:
.wrapper:hover * {
text-decoration: underline;
}
Codepen:
https://codepen.io/foozie3moons/pen/gGRBxZ
Try simply doing this :
<button>A link</button>
This way you can style the text inside of the button however you want.
I found a way of doing it! Here's how:
a:not(button) {
text-decoration: underline
}
This is the markup:
<p>
<a href="http://www.domain.com/stack-2015-overflow-648198/">
<img src="link to image">

The content is loaded by AJAX but I think it should still be styled with CSS. Here is my CSS:
a[href*="www.domain.com"] img { display: none; }
but it does not work. What am I missing?
I've been using CSS for a long time, and I've never seen anything like that. You should apply a class or ID to the anchor tag and then reference it as:
#anchorId>img {
display: none;
}
I ran into a situation where I have a link that is set as a display:block. I'm trying to fill the background-color property with a color, but only behind the text; instead, it's filling the entire background of that row, which is logical, but not what I want. How can I fill only the background of the text without being an inline element? Or is this not possible?
HTML:
mylink
CSS:
a {
display:block;
background-color:blue;
}
If you need to keep the link as a block, you can wrap the text in a <span> and apply the background colour to that.
Simple code would be something like this:
<a href="#" style="display: block">
Hello<span style="background: blue; color: white">blue</span>link
</a>
You can then add padding and other style to the span tag.
You can add a ID tag to the span if its a special once off thing for specific styling.
It appears some browsers (Chrome at least) put a partial underline under images that are nested inside of an anchor tag, like this:
<img src="/foo.jpg" />
So I'm looking for a way to add text-decoration: none; to any anchor tags that contain an img tag. My first thought was this:
a img {
text-decoration: none;
}
Of course that doesn't work, because the style gets applied to the img tag, and not the anchor. So is there a selector I can use to apply the text-decoration style to any anchor tag with a img child?
EDIT:
My HTML typically looks like this:
<a href="#">
<img src="/foo.jpg" />
</a>
The way I space and tab the elements is adding extra whitespace between the anchor tag, and image tag. It's that white space that's being underlined.
If you're against adding a class to this <a> tag (which is the simple solution), your next best CSS solution would be to remove text-decoration on the <a> tag, and wrap the text you want to have underlined in an inline element. See below:
For images:
<a href="#">
<img src="/foo.jpg" alt="etc" />
</a>
For text:
<a href="#">
<span>Text that you probably want underlined</span>
</a>
Combined:
<a href="#">
<img src="/foo.jpg" alt="etc" /> <span>Text that you probably want underlined</span>
</a>
CSS:
a { text-decoration: none; }
a:hover span { text-decoration: underline; }
Unfortunately there is no way currently of selecting the parent of an element using just CSS.
You would need to resort to javascript or jQuery.
Personally I would do something in jQuery like
$('a>img').parent().addClass('noTextDecoration');
then in css have the following:
a.noTextDecoration {test-decoration:none;}
I just use
img {
border:none;
}
So far as I can tell, there is no way to select an element's parent in CSS. You could try applying some class, i.e. imagelink to A elements that contain IMG elements, though.
If the href attribute of these anchors always points to images, and no anchors point to images besides the one with actually an img tag inside, then you can use:
a[href$=".gif"],
a[href$=".png"],
... ,
a[href$=".jpg"] {
text-decoration: none;
}
