As you can see on the link above I am trying to change the image when mouse hover but it's not working atm. What should I change? The parent <div> already has one hover on it.
.preview a img:hover{
background-image:url('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Solid_yellow.svg/200px-Solid_yellow.svg.png');
}
You are trying to change the background-image css on an <img> tag.
This will not change the "src" attribute.
in order to do that, you will need a JavaScript solution.
using jQuery:
$(".preview a img").hover(function(){
$(this).attr("src","new-image.jpg")
});
EDIT: if you're using CSS3, and it's ok for you that not all browsers will support it, you can do:
.preview a img:hover{
content:url("new-image.jpg");
}
EDIT 2:
working fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/j3xDR/
EDIT 3:
due to requests that it will work via a parent div, here is a full example with both options:
http://jsfiddle.net/j3xDR/1/
As Shay Elkayam's answer suggested, you can use the content property in modern browsers to achieve this.
If browser support is a problem, then i suggest using a <div> instead if the <img> tag and change the divs background property on hover.
here's a working fiddle
update:
if you want to change the image on hover of the parent div, modify the css selector as in this working : fiddle
As per the HTML code the CSS is not matching:
using .preview a img will be wrong as you are calling the img tag in side the a tag in your CSS.
However your HTML says that you have img tag inside the div class=preview and a tag is above all.
There are multiple ways to achieve the output. One of the easiest way is as follows:
EDIT: As per the comment the edited script was posted as below:
$(".preview").hover(function() {
$(this).find("img").attr("src", "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Solid_yellow.svg/200px-Solid_yellow.svg.png")
}, function() {
$(this).find("img").attr("src", "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Solid_gray.png")
})
Please jQuery in your HTML and write the above script, if you are not using CSS3.
Fiddle Demo is also modified
You could do the same thing in css as well if you do a little bit of modifications in your css
Check this updated fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/gw6w9/1/
Here in .preview img rule, I set the height to 45px as well since, the actual image is 200px x 200px and you have set the width as 45px meaning it will scale the height to 45px as well and I set the background-image to the initial image as well. so when it loads the grey image is loaded.
I also modified your rule .preview a img:hover to .preview:hover img because
1) I don't see an a under .preview
2) You hover over the div anyway.
under this rule you can set the background-image to the new url.
Hope this works for you
As per related answers given by others, i have modified a small change without any extra javascript nor css. It works in all versions

I have the following Squarespace website. You can login to the site by clicking visitor access and typing in the code.
I'd like to change the background of the website by using the followng background image:
https://hethuisvandelingerie.squarespace.com/assets/bgs/bg8.png
I tried to do this with a CSS code to add a background image to the div with ID "canvas". This is the code I used:
#canvas{background-image: url('assets/bgs/bg8.png');}
However, this code does not seem to add the background image?
Any of you have an idea on how to solve this issue?
Take a look on your main wrapped on your #canvas div. Try to use the same CSS code. Hope it helps!
main {
background: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/ta/58639728d2b857b308f66598/404/assets/bgs/bg8.png)
}
In site.css, look for this entry and remove the background line from #main. You've applied the background image to #canvas but #main is displaying over #canvas and #main's background is covering the background image applied to #canvas
#main {
background: #fcfcfc;
...
Try removing the single quotes from the path
#canvas{background-image: url(assets/bgs/bg8.png);}
If that doesn't work
Make sure that you entered the right path.
Double check that the id of the element is in fact canvas
(I personally think it's a less than optimal name since canvas is now also a class)
I'm trying to recolor a simple SVG image with CSS (as I saw here http://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/evcBu ):
My HTML:
<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12091580/rwdicon/icon-menu.svg" class="myMenu" alt="menu">
My CSS:
.myMenu { fill: red; }
It's not working (see http://jsfiddle.net/sexyzane/1hojaccb/ )!
What am I doing wrong?
fill is used for svg element markup, you have an img element with an svg source, as such you cannot use fill to change the image color.
Instead, if you want to colorize the image, you may want to look into applying a CSS filter effect to the img tag, although this may not be able to achieve the exact result you're after.

I'm reworking a site but only have permission to change the CSS. Most of the elements I need to change are properly tagged as id's or classes, but a few places have ids or classes listed inside an img tag.
I want to replace that image in the img tag using only css. Is there a way to do this? ie, hide the src img and have only my css referenced image visible?
sorry for such a late post, (almost a year, i know..), but i had the same exact problem Dreamling,
Some of the html used on our site is called up externally, so editing the html was not an option for me either. Here's how i solved the problem... Using only CSS.
Use Firebug if you have it.
Now look for the image you'd like to replace in the HTML. (firebug will show the id's and classes of the elements)
Your HTML should look something like this for it to work. (with an img src element inside a span element)
<span class="Dreamlings_ClassA Dreamlings_ClassB">
<img src="http://www.dreamlingsSite.com/dreamlingspic.png" alt="Dreamling's Pic">
<span>[This is just an extra span!] </span>
</span>
Now for the CSS :)
Call up the first element by class in the css. (use the last class name to be more specific in with editing [if you have multiple span elements with same first class name])
<span class="Dreamlings_ClassB">
should look something like this..
span.Dreamlings_ClassB {
background-image: url('../dreamlingsnewpic.png') !important;
}
and to hide that pesky image in the img src element..
span.Dreamlings_ClassA img {
display: none !important;
}
And thats it! :)
p.s. I was using the !important tags in my css to overwrite other external stylesheets..
but you don't have to use the tags if yours css will work without them. (you just have to be more specific in the css with id's and classes)
Hope this helped!

If your image tag is inside a container, anything that's a block, then use this:
<style>
#container {
background: url('image.png') no-repeat;
text-indent: -9999;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<img src="image.png" alt="image to be replaced" />
</div>
As others said, it's really not good practice, but it works. Only tested in Chrome.
I want to replace that image in the img tag using only css.
Not that I know of, no. An image's src attribute can't be altered from CSS.
I also can't think of a workaround to do this, not even a terribly kludgy one. You can of course assign a background-image to the image element, but the actual image will always be in front of it,
You would have to have the original HTML altered in a way so the original button is a <button> element with a background-image property - that you can override using CSS.
Restricting access to the HTML but allowing access to edit CSS is odd practice. Both elements go hand in hand to produce the page.
Anyway, you could try removing or changing the name of "btn_next.png" so that it doesnt display when called from "src" and make the CSS the following:
#btn_next {
background: url('image.png') no-repeat;
display:block;
width:150px; /* for example */
height:30px; /* for example */
}
If that doesnt work, the only other way would be to hide the input button and replace the li row with a background image but then the button will cease to work. Unless you have access to an already included javascript file, then you can look at other solutions.
Is it possible to change the value of src attribute of <input type='image' alt="Text will be shown if pics are disabled" src='somepic.png'../> by css?
The problem is:
I want to specify which pic will be shown as submit button just using css (so the design team will change only css files!).
If I use the alternative way like <input type="submit" class="cssclass" value=" " alt="Text will be shown if pics are disabled"/> and specify the background of this element in css - it doesn't work well if pics are disabled. - No any alternative text is shown instead of pic. However the first way solves this situation...
Please advice something
Thanks.
Here it is: http://jsfiddle.net/kizu/66JXn/
Some notes about this solution:
Use <button></button>, 'cause it can include other blocks.
You'll need a bit of extra code to make all these work in Fx and IE:
For Fx you need an extra wrapper inside (there are positioning bug) and some extra -moz- properties reset.
For IE you must shrink the original button, 'cause there are some extra padding that is hard to remove.
You place the text and another element inside, that would overlay the text. So when the images would absent, the text would be accessible.
That's it :)
No, and this is bad practice. CSS is for static content only.
What you should do, is define a template file with variables in it such as:
template.js
my_backgroundImage = "url('somepic.png')";
then your file would load
x = document.createElement('image');
x.src = my_backgroundImage
Attribute selectors might work, but they aren't very flexible. Try this one:
img[src=""] {
background-image: url('none.png');
height: 100px; /* Height of BG image */
width: 100px; /* Width of BG image */
}
It doesn't change the image's src= attribute, but it performs the same function.
Here's my idea.
You can use JavaScript to read the stylesheets of <img> tags, and modify them accordingly.
I'm talking about a class whitelist, like big, small, center and all other classes applied to the images are interpreted via JavaScript. The design team could use CSS, but it would not render in the expected manor, like this (Python + JavaScript):
for every <img> tag:
if tag.classes contains class not in whitelist:
for every class not in whitelist:
this.src = newClass.backgroundImage;
this.removeClass(newClass)
It reads the CSS for the background-image property, but it just steals the URL of the image and sets the src= attribute using that URL. Then, the JavaScript would delete that class, causing it not to render.
(This is a problem for which JS is the solution, but ignoring that:)
One option is to wrap the button and an extra div (lets call it div.overlay) in a parent container.
Set the container to to position:relative.
Set the button to only display text, as usual. Set the div.overlay to position:absolute, width and height to 100%, and left and top to 0, and a z-index higher than the button. Set the image you want to display as the background-image of div.overlay.
With images enabled, the user sees the image, and the image can be changed using only CSS.
With images, or CSS disabled, the user only sees the plaintext submit button.
You might have to do some trickery to get clicking div.overlay to submit the form, perhaps just make div.overlay a duplicate submit button. Also, who knows what Googlebot makes of overlay techniques like these.
It's ugly, but the only pure CSS solution that immediately jumps to mind is a kind of image replacement with relatively poor support. That's using :after. It's kind of a poor practice due to the misuse of :after, and the support is pretty iffy, and I think it'd be iffier for an input element, based on the last time I tried to use :after on an input...
.cssclass,
.cssclass:after{
display:block;
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
.cssclass{ position:relative; }
.cssclass:after{
position:absolute;
top:0;left:0;
content:url("button.jpg");
}
See http://www.rachaelmoore.name/best-practices/css-image-replacement-ii/ for more.
Or setting the default src to a shim and always using CSS to set the desired button as a background image. Which I just noticed you've already thought of. I imagine that should work just fine.
Ok... So I hate it when I ask a specific question and, instead of answering it, they give me some crappy work-around instead of answering the original question that I asked... But for some reason, I've decided that I'm going to do it to you.
If I understand the problem correctly, you just want to have a form button with a background image and if the background image doesn't load, you want some sort of alt text displayed to the user with the caption of the button? If that's not right, stop reading and "down arrow" me.
In apps that I've made, I've always just styled the input with a background image, but left it up to the HTML control to insert text... It's good for three reasons... buttons can be styled, developers can change the value of the text on the button without having to bother me to make a new image, and if the background image doesn't load, the button is still readable.
So my html was like this:
<input type="submit" id="btnSearch" class="searchButton" value="Search">
then my class may read something like:
.searchButton {
backgorund-image: url('searchButtonImage.png');
font-family: sans serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #808080;
padding-left: 50px 0px 0px 0px; // Assuming a magnifying glass icon or whatevs is on the left and is 20-ish pixels
width: 100px; // you can put this as in-line style if you make a more generic class
}
If you want to make the BG more generic, move the width of the button to make it in-line on the button, so the devs can change the width with the text value and make your generic bg image like 200px wide.
Depending on the browser, the text might not be as nice and ani-aliased as in others, but IMO, it's a small price to pay.
(Disclaimer: Please forgive me if you copy and paste this and it doen't work. I just hand-wrote it without testing it.)
Can you do it with javascript?
I have an image on my page that, when clicked, will show another button, and also change the src attribute of the first.
Here is what I use:
<script type="text/javascript">
function apps()
{
var element = document.getElementById("app_frame");
if (element.width != "0%")
{
parent.document.getElementById("frame").setAttribute("width","100%");
parent.document.getElementById("app_frame").setAttribute("width","0%");
parent.document.getElementById("appbutton").setAttribute("src","site/main/images/apps/show.gif");
parent.document.getElementById("wthrbutton").style.visibility="hidden";
}
else
{
parent.document.getElementById("frame").setAttribute("width","65%");
parent.document.getElementById("app_frame").setAttribute("width","35%");
parent.document.getElementById("appbutton").setAttribute("src","site/main/images/apps/hide.gif");
parent.document.getElementById("wthrbutton").style.visibility="visible";
}
}
</script>
What that says, is: set the "app_frame" as variable "element",
then check variable "element" for its width.
if its width is not 0, then it gets the element "frame",
by using getElementById, and then sets the attribute "width" to 100%
you can see slightly lower down that you use the same method, but use the SRC attribute rather than width, and set it to whatever you want, in my case, site/main/images/apps/show.gif
hope that helps
I recently had an idea for using the CSS pseudo-class :hover to display a styled tooltip when the mouse is hovered over a link.
The basic code for the link looks like this:
.hasTooltip {
position:relative;
}
.hasTooltip span {
display:none;
}
.hasTooltip:hover span {
display:block;
background-color:black;
border-radius:5px;
color:white;
box-shadow:1px 1px 3px gray;
position:absolute;
padding:5px;
top:1.3em;
left:0px;
max-width:200px; /* I don't want the width to be too large... */
}
This link has a tooltip!<span>This is the tooltip text!</span>
The result is exactly what I want, but with one annoying problem: the span does not expand to accommodate text, and if I don't specify a width, the text is squashed.
I did some searching on Google, found a couple examples of work people had done (this example is creepily similar to what I've gotten), but no one seems to have addressed the span width problem I'm having.
I know this answer is extremely late, but it appears the key to your issue would be to use:
white-space: nowrap;
inside of your span, and get rid of any sort of width definition. Of course the drawback to this will be that the tooltip will only be able to support a single line. If you want a multiline solution you will most likely have to use javascript.
Here is an example of of this method:
http://jsbin.com/oxamez/1/edit
An added bonus is that this works all the way down to IE7. If you do not need to support IE7, I would suggest folding the span, and img styles into a :before, and :after for the .tooltip. Then you can populate the text using the data-* attribute.
I don't think there's a perfect solution to this problem with pure CSS. The first problem is that when you place the span inside the a tag the span only wants to expand as far as the width of the link. If you place the span after the the a it's possible to get close to what you're trying to do but you'll have to set the margin-top: 1.3em and then have to set a negative margin to slide the tooltip left. However, it's going to be a fixed setting so it won't sit exactly at the start of each link.
I whipped up a jQuery solution that sets left dynamically (and a nice little fade effect for good measure).
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wdm954/9jaZL/7/
$('.hasTooltip').hover(function() {
var offset = $(this).offset();
$(this).next('span').fadeIn(200).addClass('showTooltip');
$(this).next('span').css('left', offset.left + 'px');
}, function() {
$(this).next('span').fadeOut(200);
});
These tool tips can also be integrated into a word press theme easily. Just copy the CSS into your style. Css file and when creating your posts, just take help of the HTML code and create your own tool tips. Rest is all styling, which can be altered according to your own choice. You may also use images inside the tool tip boxes.
http://www.handycss.com/how/how-to-create-a-pure-css-tooltip/
Even though this question is a bit older already, I would suggest the following compromise:
Just use max-width: 200px; and min-width: 300%; or so,
whereas the min-width could result higher than the max-width.
Just figure it out.
This way you could not have entirely liquid tooltips but the width would stand in kind of a correlation with the width of the containing link element.
In terms of optical pleasantness this approach could be of value.
edit:
Well I must admit it is nonsense what I wrote. When the min-width can be higher than the max-width, there is no sense to it.
So just putting the min-width in percent would achieve what I tried to suggest.
Sorry for that.
I found this and it was working for me. It's a good solution when you have a lot of elements and jquery plugins on the same page and you can't work with
Text <span>Tooltip</span>
