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!

I'm just starting to learn HTML and CSS and was testing out some simple CSS when strange things started happening.
Here is my CSS.
a:link {
color: blue;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color: purple;
text-decoration: dotted;
}
a:hover {
color: blue;
text-decoration: dotted;
}
a:active {
color: blue;
text-decoration: dotted;
}
a:hover and a:active do not always do what they're supposed to. It's really confusing me because if I change the blue in a:hover's color: blue; to black it suddenly works.
I am editing the HTML and CSS files in Visual Studio 2012 and opening them in Google Chrome from the Dropbox folder they're saved in.
How can you differentiate between a:link and a:hover? Normally, it's a:link that's blue. Now, when you hover over it, it's a:hover that's also blue. Changing a:hover to black will let you see the difference.
A few things to consider:
In order for a:link to work you have to include a an actual link (href="somewebsite"). Otherwise you should be targeting just the a.
A lot of people think the active state is after you clicked on it thus making it "active" but it's on mousedown. Click the link and hold the mouse to see the :active triggered
In your example you have a:link AND a:hover set to blue so you will see no change when you hover over it.
text-decoration: dotted is not a property. You can choose from none, underline, overline, line-through, initial and inherit
EXAMPLE
a:link {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color: purple;
}
a:hover {
color: green;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: red;
text-decoration: line-through;
}
In my css it seems i can't use several different link styles in multiple id selectors.
This is how my css looks now:
#embed a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active
{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
#header a:link, a:visited, a:active
{
color: #777777;
text-decoration: none;
}
It only follows "#header a:link, a:visited, a:active".
Both #embed and #header refers to two different divs in the html, both are separate from each other.
CSS descendant selectors do not distribute over ,s.
You need to repeat #header after each ,, or the later selectors will apply to all as.
the css code shouldn't it be like this ?
#embed a:link, #embed a:visited, #embed a:hover, #embed a:active
Ju
I have css:
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #CCC;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #fff;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #CCC;
}
the hover does not work when i first load the webpage however when i click on the hyperlink then go back the hover then works. What is the issue.
Maybe there is some extra CSS hanging around somewhere... You could try resetting CSS at the beginning of your file:
a:visited, a:hover, a:active { text-decoration:none; }
Test your code at the seperate page of your project, I think it works, if it works, there is something else in your project that makes it incorrect, I mean external css
I'm trying to build my first site and am trying to use the "a:hover" feature in CSS but can't get it to work - the links look the same whether hovering or not.
Here's a snippet of my CSS file:
/* main page elements */
a:link
{
text-decoration: none;
color:white;
}
a:visited
{
text-decoration: none;
color:FFFFFF;
}
a:hover
{
text-decoration: none;
color:blue;
}
a:active
{
text-decoration: none;
color:blue;
}
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert.
You need to finnish the text-decoration instruction :P
text-decoration: none;
or
text-decoration: underline;
I hope you need to change the color in hover state
Try something like this one
eg.
HTML
<a href ='#'> Hover Me </a>
css
a
{
text-decoration: none;
color:#000000;
}
a:hover
{
color:#3399FF;
}
Your might be transitioning from a:active to a:hover, which has the same color. Therefore you see no difference. Try setting a unique color for a:hover, and see what happens.
It would also help if you make a jsfiddle.
Your issue is in the text-decoration: parts, if you remove them or use a valid syntax your CSS should work.
I see there's this tag in Blogger:
a:link {
text-decoration:none;
color: $(link.color);
}
a:visited {
text-decoration:none;
color: $(link.visited.color);
}
a:hover {
text-decoration:underline;
color: $(link.hover.color);
}
But if I change a:link to text-decoration:underline, then EVERY link in the entire blog becomes underlined which is not what I intended. I just need links inside articles/posts to be underlined. Everything else stays the same.
You can target the links inside the posts using descendant selector.
.post-body a:link {
text-decoration: underline;
}
In the above code, replace .post-body with the ID/Class of the article/post. Most probably it is .post-body by default.
