I've created this hexagonal navigation to fit within a website.

I'm wanting to know what would be the best way to go about creating the structure of the navigation in html and css. Where the links are within the white hexagons, I would like hovering over these links to change the white background to a colour. I've tried to do this with using background images, but haven't quite got there. The surrounding coloured hexagons I've been using as a whole background image for the navigation.
I found this on the web: http://jtauber.github.io/articles/css-hexagon.html , which I think could be great to use, but I thought there must be a way to use background images.
Thanks, Tim.
The color of an element (in this case, a hexagon) can be changed on hover with css. If we add this to the style properties in your css-hexagon tutorial:
.hex:hover {
background-color: blue;
}
.hex:hover:before {
border-bottom: 30px solid blue;
}
.hex:hover:after {
border-top: 30px solid blue;
}
The hexagon will change color when the cursor hovers over it, which you can see in this jsfiddle.
You can find good documentation of the CSS :hover pseudo-class here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:hover

I am trying to create a button with text inside. I want it so that when you hover over the box, the color of the box changes to white, and the colour of the text changes to blue.
How can I add css to make my text and box change colors on hover?
Edited: I got the html snippet for that from another part of the website template I am editing. It is basically a box that does exactly what I have outline above. I then placed it inside the list tag of the menu html, hoping that it will just transfer the functionality but it didn't work. So I tried to add the [hover:] but it still isn't working.
I know I am doing something wrong but I don't know enough to know what it is.
Code snippet is for html:
Upload resources
Use the :hover pseudo selector
e.g.
button {
color: white;
background: blue;
}
button:hover {
color: blue;
background: white;
}
Of course, replace with the actual hex codes you need rather than the colour names above, and any valid property can be used, e.g. border, text-decoration etc.
Use :hover pseudo selector
element{
color: white;
background: blue;
}
element:hover{
color: blue;
background: white;
}

I'm trying to remove the white-background of wordpress Article (page), NOT the body background, the element's background. I would that the article text has no white background, but only the body background.
I've tryed so many "external css" but no one worked for me.
article.post-1 { //just an example, I've tryed many other elements
background-color: transparent;
}
https://i.imgur.com/gJtqjpP.jpg You can see the white background behind the TEXT, i would remove that white and see the TEXT directly on the background image. It's in the homepage.
I achieved that by adding a !important after my css code:
element {
background-color: transparent !important;
}
First of all you should inspect the code of the page to find out the class where the background is applied, then you can set background: transparent (and not background-color, because it only works with color values).
A not-super-advanced coder here.I'm seeking to "simply" adjust the styling of an active link in a sub-navigation on a site.
Example page:
http://printergatherer.com/shop
Referencing the minty green sub-nav that has "ALL ... PRINTS" in it.
Right now, I have styling that effects the active link in ALL navigations on the site. Ideally I have one set of styles for the main nav, and one for this sub nav.
I've managed to add a mint green underline to the active link, which is great, but for whatever reason I just CANNOT get the link color itself to change to the same mint green.
This code gets the bottom-border, but not the correct link color:
#categoryNav ul li.active-link {
color: #C6D4D0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #C6D4D0;
}
Sorry if I'm being a noob, I am about to tear my hair out about something that seems so simple!
You just need to move the color off of the li and on to the anchor tag like so:
.active-link a {
color: #c6d4d0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #c6d4d0;
}
you can see a jsfiddle of it working here:https://jsfiddle.net/24k1zep4/3/
your CSS is really specific, if you can't change that you may have to actually use a more specific selector.
#categoryNav .category-nav-links .active-link a {
color: #c6d4d0;
}
should work if you can't change the specificity and need to override what is already there.
When I mouse over linked images I see hover background color beneath the image. How to avoid this?
Is there any solution that would not involve applying special class to a elements (like a.nobackground:hover)?
CSS:
a:hover, a:focus {
background-color: rgb(240,39,96);
cursor: pointer;
}
HTML:
<img src="with_transparency.png" alt=""/>
edit:
setting img background to none doesn't work
a img {
background: none !important;
}
setting img background to any other color would do the job if there's no non-solid color (or graphic) beneath the image (in this case .png)
a img {
background: #000 !important;
}
Does setting the background color of the images do what you want?
a img {
background: none;
}
Depending on your stylesheets, you might need the !important bang in front of "none" to overwrite other conditions.
Edit: On second thought, you might want to explicitly set a color value instead of simply saying "none."
Another edit: True, if the color or background behind the transparent PNG wasn't a solid color, you'll encounter some issues. One alternative is this:
And the CSS:
.transparent_png {
background-image: url('with_transparency.png');
background-color: transparent;
display: inline-block;
width: ??px;
height: ??px;
}
So here, you're not actually using an image tag, but can overwrite the background-color property that's normally applied on a:hover and a:active. Does this work?
If I understood the question correctly... You will need to either apply a special class to that specific link, or call the link by its location if it´s different from others. For example:
div div div a {}
And as Matt said you might need to use !important because you have a rule that includes all the links in the page. I´d recommend a different class, it´s better from a semantic´s point of view.
I've been trying to use a:hover pseduo class so that when you hover over the image, you get a border to appear so that it looks clickable.
However, when I do this the border appears below the image in the space below but I'm unsure why.
#overlay a:hover {
border: solid 2px #666;
}
As you can see the border is not around the image, it's below it.
Hope someone can help me with this problem.
Put the border on the image, not the anchor.
#overlay a:hover img {
If your image has position: relative or one of the crazy non-block alignments, then the enclosing link doesn't expand to surround it.
We need to see some HTML to be sure, but try to take alignment parameters off the image, and you should it working. If you made the <a> position: relative I think the link block would surround it.
Use Firebug to experiment with DOM object layouts.
Try this:
#overlay a:hover {
border: 2px solid #666;
}
