I'm using Bootstrap3 for a small website, and I need to change the link color in one of my divs.
However, for some reason, the bootstrap link colors are always being applied instead of my custom ones.
CSS:
.social a,
.social a:hover,
.social a:focus {
color: #fefefe;
}
HTML:
<div class="social">
<i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i>
</div>
I also tried this:
.social > a,
.social > a:hover,
.social > a:focus {
color: #fefefe;
}
But doesn't make a difference.
#fefefe is a white color. Maybe you have white content on a white background.
It should work.
body {
background-color: darkgrey;
}
.social a,
.social a:hover,
.social a:focus {
color: #fefefe; // white
}
Example
Try adding .social a:link to the list
either add !important to your style:
color: #fefefe!important;
or better, make sure your styles are loaded AFTER bootstrap:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/mystyle.css">
EDIT:
if <a> tags is what want to style you might want to apply your color to :link and :visited too:
.social a,
.social a:link,
.social a:visited,
.social a:hover,
.social a:focus {
color: #fefefe;
}

I'm trying to make the current page's title change colour in the navigation bar that I have at the top of my website. The navbar is built in html with:
<div class="navbar">
<a href="index.html" class="active" >Home</a>
Indian
Italian
</div>
and the CSS that attempts to style it is:
.navbar{
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #F5861F;
width: 100%;
}
.navbar a{
float: left;
display: block;
color: #f2f2f2;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.navbar a:active{
color:#ffe7d1;
}
.navbar a:visited{
color:#8b4e14;
}
.navbar a:hover{
color:#874404;
font-size:20px;
}
.navbar a:current{
color:#ffe7d1;
}
The .navbar a:current is left there after I read that active may not do as I hope (I changed class="active" to class="current") but this also doesn't work.
What am I missing here?
try this
a.active {color: red}
a:active is not representing a class but a selector for a pseudoclass of <a> element
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp
:active is where the mistake is.
Try this
.navbar a.active{
color:#ffe7d1;
}
So I have a div where the whole thing is an anchor tag and I am trying to control how the color is on hover and getting varying results. Hoping I can do this with just css. What is happening is on hover, one text changes, but not the other. But then also, the text decoration underline is still different. Just want it all to stay black even on hover, but on hover, the url underline appears on the text.
<style>
.welTile > p:hover {
color: black;
}
</style>
<div class="col-md-4">
<a href="#/mod1">
<div class="welTile">
<img src="assets/images/welcomeTile.png">
<p>Module 1: Moneyball Concepts</p>
<p>Learn the basic concepts you need to successfully complete the other 5 modules</p>
</div>
</a>
</div>
And a couple of screenshots of what is happening before and after hovering:
You need to target the different states of the anchor tag like this:
.col-md-4 a {
color: #000;
}
.col-md-4 a:hover {
color: #000;
}
.col-md-4 a:focus {
color: #000;
}
.col-md-4 a:active {
color: #000;
}
This CSS will keep everything to stay in black.
.col-md-4 a, .col-md-4 a:hover, .col-md-4 a:focus, .col-md-4 a:active {
color: black;
display:inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
}
From the chrome debugger:
element.style {
}
#title a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active {
color: #FF33CC;
text-decoration: none;
}
(Everything below this is struck through)
nav a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
nav a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
#title a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active {
color: #FF33CC;
text-decoration: none;
}
#title a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active {
color: #FF33CC;
text-decoration: none;
}
I'm trying to figure out why an element (title) is not showing up properly. This is what it looks like in the html body:
<div id="title">
link
</div>
I understand that when it's struck through, that style isn't being applied. What I don't understand is
a) Why is the nav style being called at all?
b) Why does the title style for links get called several times? The first time it seems to work, but the second time it's being struck through? (On the website, the element currently is only showing up in black text.)
Thanks in advance!
Your style is being called because the nav parent only applies to the first part of the selector. Basically you have this:
nav a:link,
a:visited,
a:hover,
a:active{
//style
}
What you really want is:
nav a:link,
nav a:visited,
nav a:hover,
nav a:active{
//Style
}
The same thing goes for the #title a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active
My guess on why it is trying to use the same CSS multiple times would be that you have the same CSS in multiple places. E.G. you are either
Importing the CSS twice
Importing two CSS files with a duplicate style
Duplicating the CSS in your one CSS file
Check the associated line numbers and see if they are the same (meaning it is actually using the exact same CSS twice) or different (meaning you have the same CSS in multiple places).
you have:
#title a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {
color: #FF33CC;
text-decoration: none;
}
but what it seems like you need is:
#title a:link, #title a:visited, #title a:hover, #title a:active {
color: #FF33CC;
text-decoration: none;
}
the id tag has to appear after each comma, otherwise you are styling ALL links, not just the ones with the #title id.
Hope that helps!
The CSS active link style is being correctly applied in IE7, FF, and Safari but is not applied IE6.
.side_nav a.active
{
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#9F1F63;
}
Interestingly the background color (background-color:#9F1F63;) is being applied in IE6 but not the font color (color:#FFFFFF;)
Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it appreciated.
The complete styling for the nav below:
.side_nav
{
text-align : left;
margin-left: -10px;
}
.side_nav ul
{
list-style-type: none;
list-style-position:inside;
margin-left:0px;
}
.side_nav li
{
margin-top: 10px;
display: list-item;
list-style-type:none;
}
.side_nav a, .side_nav a:visited
{
text-decoration: none;
color : #9F1F63;
font-weight : bold;
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
}
.side_nav a:hover
{
color:#B26D7F;
}
.side_nav a.active
{
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#9F1F63;
}
EDIT: Thanks but the suggestions haven't helped. When I change to a:active the active effect does not work in any browser. I think this might be due to how I have applied the style in the HTML.
<div class="side_nav">
<a class="active" href="Page1.aspx">Page1</a><br />
Page2<br />
Page3<br />
</div>
In IE6, it matters which order you specify the anchor links. You should specify them in this order to achieve the intended result: first a:link, then a:visited, a:hover and a:active.
Your CSS has a period where there should be a colon, in .side_nav a.active (should be .side_nav a:active
With this fixed, it works for me in IE6.
I tried copying your code, and the format did work.
Your problem is you see the link as visited - you have both formatting of the visited and active (so you have the purple background and the purple text).
You should override the color for visited links with the active class:
.side_nav a.active, .side_nav a.active:visited
{
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #9F1F63;
}
Try adding a more specific selector to .side_nav a.active such as div .side_nav a.active where div is the parent element.
The color is probably being overwritten from the .side_nav a rule.
Also, you may have a typo - are trying to use the :active selector?
Try to use !important. Like this:
.side_nav a.active
{
color: #FFFFFF !important;
background-color: #9F1F63;
}
This is the css for setting the color for h1 text that is linked:
.nav-left h1 a,
a:visited {
color: #055830;
}
<div class="nav-left">
<h1>Housing</h1>
</div>
It does not look like it is working appropriately, any help is appreciated.
What about:
.nav-left h1 a:visited{
color:#055830;
}
if you want the colour to be the same for unvisited links you'll need to add a specific selector for that as well
.nav-left h1 a:link, .nav-left h1 a:visited {
color:#055830;
}
If you want them the same, you must be specific:
.nav-left h1 a, a:visited
is not the same as:
.nav-left h1 a, .nav-left h1 a:visited
.nav-left h1 a {
color: #055830;
}
You don't need to add a:visited if it is the same color.
