HTML activate hover & active states permanently - html

NOTE: I am using Angular, so if Angular can solve this it will also work
I want to build a page where I can view the styles I am making. Therefore I need to somehow activate the hover and active states. Here is my code now:
.myclass {
background-color: blue
}
.myclass:disabled {
background-color: red
}
.myclass:hover {
background-color: green
}
.myclass:active {
background-color: pink
}
<button class="myclass" disabled="true">Disabled</button>
<button class="myclass">Normal</button>
<button class="myclass">Hover</button>
<button class="myclass">Active</button>
I am hoping for something like this:
<button class="myclass" disabled="true">Disabled</button>
<button class="myclass">Normal</button>
<button class="myclass hover">Hover</button>
<button class="myclass active">Active</button>
Or:
<button class="myclass" disabled="true">Disabled</button>
<button class="myclass">Normal</button>
<button class="myclass" hover="true">Hover</button>
<button class="myclass" active="true">Active</button>

This can be done easily, just right click on the element -> inspect element -> navigate to the class (myClass in your case) in styles tab.
Then click on :hov and activate the hover, focus or active (refer to the image attached)

If this is for testing purposes use a dedicated hover en active class.
Give the buttons some dummy classes and style the buttons
When you are finished copy the style to the :hover and :active state
and delete the dummy code.
There is no other solution. If there is one than I also want to know what that solution is.
The answer of Divesh Panwar is the way to go.

For development:
Just introduce a new css class that does what you need.
just do
myclass.hover in css then <button class="myclass hover" disabled="true">Disabled</button> and switch back to :hover when finished styling or whatever.
If you use chrome f.E. you can press F12 to open developer console.
There you can toggle the hover state in the top right.
There
For testing:
If it's for some kind of automated tests, and you realy need the hover state, i gues you approach the problem from the wrong side, use a selenium or similar to guide you in the right direction.

How to get the color of button not to change onclick

Hi guys this might be a simple questions but cant seem to figure it out in bootstrap i have a simple button :
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Kontakta oss</button>
I have edited in CSS etc but when its clicked it has a huge blue border around it and the color goes to orange when clicked.
I would like it so that the color stays the same which is black right now and that the border does not change color at all , i just am not sure what the class names are for this
So its not the :Hover class its the click class but again no idea whats it called or the visit something
Thanks
EDIT:
You can see the first button is what it looks like, but when it is clicked on , for a few seconds it changes to orange and then back to black , i want to have it not changed color when the user clicks on it
This is a Bootstrap-specific issue, as you are using a Bootstrap class that stylizes buttons. To override it use this:
.btn-warning.active, .btn-warning:active, .open > .dropdown-toggle.btn-warning {
/* STYLES GO HERE */
color:white!important;
background-color:black!important;
border-color:white!important;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Kontakta oss</button>
NOTE: In my example code I am using !important to override the default Bootstrap styling because of the way SO loads snippet CSS. This is bad practice and not necessary as long as you load these overrides after the Bootstrap CSS has been loaded.

Bootstrap Button - No Hand Cursor

I am developing an MVC6 project in Visual Studio 2015. I have just added Bootstrap 3.3.6 using Bower. On a very simple html page I have referenced the CSS in the header and Bootstrap at the bottom of the body as follows:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
I defined a button as follows:
<button class="btn btn-primary">Hello</button>
When I debug the project (IIS, IE11) the button appears and is clearly styled by Bootstrap but there is no hand cursor.
If I use the browser to navigate to an example of a Bootstrap styled button, for example here: http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_buttons.asp, the hand cursor appears as I would expect. So it's not my browser at fault.
Can anyone suggest why I am not getting a hand cursor from a simple Bootstrap styled button please?
Try add role='button' instead. I have had this problem even though the documentation on bootstrap says type='button' should do the work but mine didn't.
You need to get rid of the button tags and just use anchor tags with bootstrap classes. For example:
instead of:
<button class="btn btn-primary">Hello </button>
write:
Hello
This will make the HAND CURSOR appear when hovering over the btn bootstrap class
Try adding an href such as href="#" to the button.
<button class="btn btn-primary" href="#">Hello</button>
When you start changing native element types and roles there are other side effects, including how those elements interact with accessibility for users. See this MDN link for details on that: Button Role
You are missing the type="button".
In bootstrap source less file there are several css rules specified for the input[type="button"] rule. (Checked for version 3.3.6)
You might not have to use it, but it was intended to be used with type="button".
In both W3School and Bootstrap buttons demo page they are using type="button"
Your code:
<button class="btn btn-primary">Hello</button>
W3:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Default</button>
If it is still not working after adding type="button" (or submit or reset), try looking on your element with inspector and see what overrides the "pointer: cursor" css rule.
I was looking like you for a way to add this hand over,
until I saw that hand appearing once the form was filled.
(was using
<button type="button" >
by the way )
Create new css:
.cursor-pointer { cursor: pointer; }
Apply css on button:
class="cursor-pointer"
I encountered the same issue. When hover over the button hand cursor is not shown instead mouse pointer is seen. Fixed it by using the following ways.
1st Fix:
<input type="button" id="myBtn" class="btn btn-primary" value="Hello">
2nd Fix:
<a role="button" class="btn btn-primary" href="#">Hello</a>

selection of an element using css :not()

i have to set of buttons one have no icon and one have icons. i want to define a special css which has no icon..
My codes are
for first type of button:-
<div class="btn-double-horizontal">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-base-white border-base thin">register now</button>
<span>or</span>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-base-white border-base thin">login here</button>
</div>
and for second type (with icon):-
<div class="btn-double-horizontal">
<button type="button" class="btn white rounded bg-wisteria btn-lg"><i class="fa fa-instagram white bullet"></i>Instagram</button>
<span>or</span>
<button type="button" class="btn white rounded bg-green-sea btn-lg"><i class="fa fa-linkedin white bullet"></i>Linked in</button>
i want to apply style for buttons which has no icon.Obviously they are both btn-lg (class)
If I'm understanding this correctly, you want to target the first type of button you laid out in your question, correct?
If so, since the two button types don't share all the same classes, you could do something like this:
.btn.btn-base-white {
/* This targets the first type of button only */
}
This doesn't require the use of the :not() selector, which really is only an issue in IE8, but I don't know what browsers you need to support, so better safe than sorry.
Of course, this assumes you can't add another class. If you can add a new class to the buttons without an icon, that may make your CSS easier to work with down the road...
In your examples, .btn-lg:not(.btn-base-white){...} would do the trick, if you want to use :not()
If you are trying to apply the special CSS to all buttons that do not contain an icon, you will have to add an icon class to buttons that contain an icon. Then use can target them with button:not(.icon). You can not look for buttons that do not contain an icon in CSS because there is no parent selector
Example:
.button{
/* button css */
}
.button:not(.icon){
/* button with no icon css */
color: #f00;
}
<button class="button icon">icon</button>
<button class="button">no icon</button
1) The best way to do this is to make 2 custom classes:
First: With the icons (.with-icon)
.with-icon{//code for iconed button goes here. }
Second: Without icons (.no-icon)
.no-icon{//code for non-iconed button goes here. }
And, then do the required changes based on the 2 classes for your both item types.
2) For your present case scenario, you might make use of the classes that are already in your 2 types of buttons, viz.
.btn-base-white {//code for non-icon button goes here }
.bg-wisteria {//code for iconed button goes here }
3) If you still want to use .not then go as follows:
button:not(.btn-base-white ) {//code for iconed button goes here}
button:not(.bg-wisteria) {//code for non-iconed goes here}
Hope, that helps!

Problems with icon inside input with type button

I have a problem, i have 2 buttons that you can see below. I need to add errorIcon but want to maintain the looks in button 1. Button 1 have browser specifik style, i have done nothing to button1.
HTML:
Button1: <input type="button" value="Button1" />
Button2: <input type="button" class="errorIcon" value="Button2" />
CSS:
.errorIcon{
background: url("errorIcon.png") no-repeat scroll top left;
padding-left: 10px;
width: 10px;
}
Please note that i cant use example below because it triggers something i cant do anything about. Something else in the program runs on "button". This example gives me Button1 with error img as i want it to be.
<button><span class="errorIcon></span></button>
You need to style both buttons cause of you leave first button unstyled it will change look depending on browser and system. So style both of them
You can style button using gradients like this

And add image via ::before or ::after

HTML Help Button with image: what's the best semantic for this?

I want to create an HTML help button (that looks like an image).
What is the best semantic way to do it ?
Here's what I was thinking about:
1st solution:
HTML
<button class='help'>
<img/>
</button>
2nd solution:
HTML
<button class='help'>
</button>
CSS
button.help
{
background-image:...;
}
3rd solution
HTML
<img class='button' src='blabla'/>
I think the button tag is indispensable as it will behave like a button (you can click on it to get some help, basically)
If you are using the button for some form submission, than I would prefer using
<input type="image" src="PATH_TO_IMAGE" alt="Submit Button" />
If you want to stick to the button tag, I would prefer using the background-image way.
Why?
Well, you can use CSS Sprites for your website and place the image on the canvas, than map the images using background-position property, this way it will reduce http request by one, in fact not just one, it will save you more if you wish to have more buttons with different images later...
I would say:
<button class='help'>
</button>
Could also add:
<button class="help" role="button">Help</button>
