When I use an img tag inside of an a tag, these little lines at the bottom show up. I've tried several css properties to remove them and couldn't find one that did the trick.
Relevant html:
<a href='https://github.com/'>
<img class='ContactLink' src='Images/Icons/GitHub.png' alt='GitHub'>
</a>
<a href='https://twitter.com/'>
<img class='ContactLink' src='Images/Icons/Twitter.png' alt='Twitter'>
</a>
<img class='ContactLink' src='Images/Icons/Gmail.png' alt='Email'>
CSS:
.ContactLink{
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
border: 0;
}
///Add this code in CSS file
a {
text-decoration:none;
}
use normalize css or try this
a,a:focus,a:hover,a:active{
text-decoration:none;
outline-width: 0;
}
img {
display:inline-block;
}
I will suggest to check the image files using any tool like photoshop and see if there is any transparent pixel there for that icon. Also try to keep the dimensions of all the three icon exactly same. If required edit the image accordingly.

I have a scenario in which I have a team page with pictures and some blurb. Under each picture I have social media links much like the following:
These are images that sit within a horizontal list underneath each item using the below base markup.
<ul>
<li>
<a><img src=""/></a>
</li>
<li>
<a><img src=""/></a>
</li>
</ul>
At the moment these are images but I would very much like if when hovered the grey inards of these images turned blue.
I was thinking just have a span with a background image like this:
<a><span class="linkedin"></span></a>
.linkedin{
height:28px;
width:auto;
background-image:url(link/to/the/linkedin/picture)
}
.linkedin:hover{
height:28px;
width:auto;
background-image:url(link/to/the/linkedin/picture-blue-version)
}
However, when I attempted this the space was empty instead of taking the size of the image.
If I enter as content I get a small part of the background image, furthermore giving the class an absolute position takes it out of document flos
Is this the ideal approach?
The problem is if you use a <span> element you need to set it to display: inline-block and you need to set a width for the image to show up. Then it works, here is a demo:
.linkedin {
display: inline-block;
width: 140px;
height:100px;
background-image:url(http://ipsumimage.appspot.com/140x100,ff7700)
}
.linkedin:hover {
background-image:url(http://ipsumimage.appspot.com/140x100,0000FF)
}
<span class="linkedin"></span>
As you see on the first :hover it flickers. Cause it will not load the image bevore you :hover the first time. This is why you should consider another solution. Like mentioned in some comments you could use http://fontawesome.io/icons/ and then just change the color.
To prevent flickering you could do the same with using <img> tags then the source will be loaded and ready to be shown on :hover. But it works best with also setting positions, demo like so:
a.special {
position: relative;
}
a.special img {
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
a.special img:first-child {
visibility: visible;
}
a.special:hover img:first-child {
visibility: hidden;
}
a.special:hover img:last-child {
visibility: visible;
}
<a class="special" href="#">
<img src="http://ipsumimage.appspot.com/140x100,ff7700">
<img src="http://ipsumimage.appspot.com/140x100,0000FF">
</a>
Best approach for this is to use SVG's and change the fill of the SVG on hover.
Your approach should work however, it might be that you've not got the correct size image? try 'background-size: cover;' Or that the element has no width. Try setting a width on the span too. (don't forget to give it 'display: inline-block;' too.

Font-Awesome is a great idea for what you're trying to achieve. Takes less data to load the page too if you can get away with using text in place of images.
By the way, when using the :hover property there is no need to redefine the width and height of the image... Just redefine the changes you'd like to make.
<div class="profile">
<img src="image/JaeHeadShot.jpg" alt="Head Shot"/>
<h1> Jae Hong </h1>
</div>
.profile{
border: 2px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
text-align:center;
padding: 30px;
}
img.profile{
width:423;
height:281;
}
Here are my HTML and CSS. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the image won't get smaller. However, if I do
<img src="image/JaeHeadShot.jpg" alt="headshot" width="423" height="281"/>
the image seems to change. I just want to know why it's not working when I work on the CSS.
Appreciate your help!
The img.profile wont select the image since the image doesn't have a profile class, and the numbers are missing the units.
Do it like this:
img {
width : 423px;
height : 281px;
}
profile is the class for the div element, not for the image.
img.profile{
width:423;
height:281;
}
if you want to use special css for the image you can define a class for it.
.myImage{ width: 423px; height: 281px}
and use it in image tag.
<img src="image/JaeHeadShot.jpg" alt="headshot" class=".myImage"/>
The image doesn't have a class attribute in your code.So,accessing it with class profile won't fetch you image.
So,as there is only image,you can just give
img {
width:423;
height:281;
}
I would like to hover over div id-"RollOver1" and be able to change the background to a different image from the main one. Only pasted the HTML for the rollover div cant use jscript so is there a way in HTML or ....?
<div id="RollOver1" style="position:absolute;overflow:hidden;left:152px;top:397px;width:183px;height:183px;z-index:4">
<a href="./car.html">
<img class="hover" alt="" src="images/Enter_02.jpg" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 183px; height: 183px; display: block;">
<span style="display: none;"><img alt="" src="images/index_01.jpg" style="left:0px;top:0px;width:183px;height:183px"></span>
</a>
</div>
You can do this with the following code:
#RollOver1 {
background:url(INITIAL_BACKGROUND);//here use the url of the background you want when is NOT on hover
}
#RollOver1:hover {
background:url(BACKGROUND_ON_HOVER);//here use the url of the bg you want when is on hover
}
You can use :hover pseudo class:
#RollOver1 {
background: url('img1.png');
}
#RollOver1:hover {
background: url('img2.png');
}
But you will usually see "glich" between changes of images, because second image will take some time to be loaded.
To avoid that, use image sprite. Put both images (normal and hover) to single image and than use css background-position
#RollOver1 {
background: url('sprite.png') no-repeat 0 0;
}
#RollOver1:hover {
background-position: -80px -90px;
}
It will be more efficient way to load small images (like buttons, icons and so on).

Using JQuery you can try
$(document).on("mouseover", "#RollOver1", function(e) {
$(this).css("background", "url(sampleImage.png) no-repeat");
}
});
use the css pseudo class :hover
You can use below styles
.RollOver1:hover {
background-image: url('paper.gif');
}
I am trying to setup background images using CSS but I can't seem to get the images to populate correctly.
Here is the CSS for what I want to do
a.fb {
background-image: url('img/Facebook.png');
}
a.fb:hover {
background-image: url('img/FacebookHover.png');
}
Here is the html code that I am using, I have tried a couple of different ways to populate the images with no luck
<div class="footer">
<a class="fb" href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank"></a>
</div>
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Okay added the following and still not go any other thoughts
a.fb {
display:block;
width: 33px;
height: 33px
background-image: url('img/Facebook.png');
}
EDIT: Yup got it working now forgot the ; after height, but no I get a white border around it and tried setting border: none; no luck
a.fb {
border: none;
display:block;
width: 33px;
height: 33px;
background-image: url('img/Facebook.png');
}
An anchor tag by default shows as an inline elements, so it depends on its content in order to get a height and width. To do what you want, you should add some styles: display:block; width: 20px; height: 20px.
You could also change the aproach completely and use html + mouseover and mouseout events:
<div class="footer">
<a class="fb" href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.facebook.com/images/fb_icon_325x325.png" alt="fb" name="fb" width="33px" height="33px" name="image_name" onmouseover="fb.src='http://goo.gl/cxiR7'; fb.width='38'; fb.height='38';" onmouseout="fb.src='http://www.facebook.com/images/fb_icon_325x325.png'; fb.width='33'; fb.height='33';" />
</a>
</div>
Here is a jsBin: http://jsbin.com/onehuw/1/edit
background-image only draws in the space that the element occupies. Your a tag has no content, and therefore it's width is 0. You'll not see any content (and background) until you give it at least some width (and height if needed).
You need to add padding to the <a> tag otherwise it has a width and height of 0 for example:
a.fb {
padding: 20px;
background-image: url('img/Facebook.png');
}
a.fb:hover {
background-image: url('img/FacebookHover.png');
}
You could also just set the width and height of the anchor
I want to use pretty 3d button images on my website. However, currently the way this works is the text is part of the image.
So, when I want to change the text (or make a new button) it's a 10 minute editing chore instead of a 20 second text change.
I've seen a few websites that have a blank button with text on it.
The real trick is making the entire image clickable. I've been able to make the link inside an image visible but that's a poor UI. Users will expect to click the button anywhere and failure to behave that way will frustrate them.
It seems like they're wrapping a .DIV tag with an image background around a Hyperlink.
<Div (class w/ image>
<a> text
</a>
EXAMPLE:
https://www.box.net/signup/g
Anyone have any insight or explanation of how this works?'
CODE SAMPLE
<a href="#" class="button" style="position: relative;left:-5px;"
onmousedown="return false;"
onclick="document.forms['register_form'].submit(); return false;">
<span>
My text
</span>
</a>
Make the button a background image:
<style>
div.button a {
display: block;
width: /* image width */;
line-height: /* image height */;
text-align: center;
background: url(/* image uri */) no-repeat;
}
</style>
Would setting your anchor to display:block and giving it a height/width equal to your div/background image help you?
perhaps something like
a {
width: something ;
height: something;
display: block;
background: url('hi.png');
}
also,
input { background: url('hi.png'); }
is an alternative
Your example is just placing CSS styles on the a tag...
From there:
The tag:
<a onclick="document.forms['register_form'].submit(); return false;"
onmousedown="return false;" style="position: relative; left: -5px;"
class="button" href="#">
<span>Continue</span>
</a>
Note that they are using JS for some reason, and not using the href, I don't like that.
Then, the button class:
a.button
{
background:transparent url(../img/greenbutton2.gif) no-repeat scroll left top;
font-size:16px;
height:42px;
line-height:42px;
width:155px;
}
This is just how that site you linked to did it.
I found this rather impressing. Using GWT to style hyperlinks.
