css border not working on mouseover event in chrome? - html

Question

The mouseover function is not working with Google Chrome. Working fine with Firefox and IE. While mouseover the border bottom is not disappearing. But if removing border-collapse: collapse it's working fine. Why is this? Any solution.
css:
html, body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.border {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #000000;
background-color: #deecf9;
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
}
.border1 {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #000000;
background-color: #deecf9;
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
}
.border2 {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
border-bottom: 0px;
padding: 1px;
}
Table:
<table width="1024" border="0" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="table">
<tr>
<td height="9" colspan="4" class="border"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="border1" onmouseover="this.className='border2'" onmouseout="this.className='border1'"> </td>
<td class="border1" onmouseover="this.className='border2'" onmouseout="this.className='border1'"> </td>
<td class="border1" onmouseover="this.className='border2'" onmouseout="this.className='border1'"> </td>
<td class="border1" onmouseover="this.className='border2'" onmouseout="this.className='border1'"> </td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 1

Do it like this: put an transparent border on your normal state elements.
When the :hover is applied the size of the border changes the size the element takes up.
eg:
.border1
{
border:1px solid #000000;
border-left:1px solid transparent;
border-right:1px solid transparent;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.border1:hover
{
border:1px solid transparent;
border-top:1px solid #000000;
padding:1px;
background-color: #deecf9;
}
Your HTML should be something like:
<table width="1024" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="table">
<tr>
<td height="9" colspan="4" class="border"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="border1"> </td>
<td class="border1"> </td>
<td class="border1"> </td>
<td class="border1"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
No need to work with the mouseovers as an attribute, just use css.
Edit: i've noticed that you're using the css border-collapse property. This sets whether the table borders are collapsed into a single border or detached as in standard HTML. Try removing this line or set it to "separate", maybe this will work.
