I have a button that, when hovered over, I would like the background image to display also. (It is an arrow an explanation of the button). There are quite a few questions similar, but I couldn't quite tweak the answers to work for me.
The HTML looks like
<div id="header_feedback">
<a href="#contactForm">
<img title="Add an Event" src="./img/header_feedback.png" alt="Give us your Feedback"/>
</a>
</div>
the CSS then is
#header_feedback
{margin-left:730px;
margin-top:-135px;
position:absolute;}
#header_feedback:hover
{
background: url ('./img/addevent_tip.png');
}
Any ideas hugely welcome!
The main problem here is not with your CSS. Itagi's answer correctly identified the minor issue that you can't have a space between url and the parens/address.
But there are two other bigger issues:
Invalid image url: when applied, background: url('./img/addevent_tip.png'); fails to find a valid image. To fix this, you either need two periods or zero. So either background: url('/img/addevent_tip.png'); or background: url('../img/addevent_tip.png');
Backgrounds applied to opaque images aren't visible: Since the entire content of the div is an image and that image has no transparency, you will not be able to see the on-hover change even when it happens correctly. You can adjust for this by making part of the image transparent (and, perhaps, setting a background for the non-hover state that leads it to look the way it normally does), or by abandoning the image in favor of CSS spriting.
you just need to change it the following way:
#header_feedback:hover
{
background: url('./img/addevent_tip.png');
}
no whitespace between 'url' and the actual url
#header_feedback a img{ display:none;}
#header_feedback a:hover img{display:block}

I have button which is <a> element with href, which doesnt have any background set on :active/:focus/:visited, but on force/3dTouch tap it gets this weird #b8b8bc background under the text only (while <a> doesnt have any children e.g. <span> etc so I suppose this is the text node highlight).
here's the gif to illustrate the behavior.
I've tried adding -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent but it changes only regular tap color, not the forced/3d one
also I thought maybe that's selection color (as I can reproduce this on various websites) so tried to use selection selectors which didn't help as well
::selection {
background: transparent;
}
::-webkit-selection {
background: transparent;
}
::-moz-selection {
background: transparent;
}
Any ideas about possible origin of this?
Good job digging up.
I had the same issue plus another one and here are my solutions.
Post is old but someone could find it useful like me today.
First of all, the forced background was covering my link text totally because I was using user-select: none; on my header links.
So that's something to check, just in case.
Regarding the background color, Force Touch doesn't use the link parent element background but the one that's under it.
If you want to "feel it", we could say that Forced Touch digs into the direct parent background and let the under layer appears.
So, to counter that without having to touch to background color, I use some z-index in the parent element to elevate it, preventing Forced Touch to "dig" :)
So if your links parent element is named card, you can add to your CSS:
.card {
isolation: isolate;
z-index:1;
}
Now, Force Touch will use the parent background color as we want to.
Okay so I found sort of "solution" based on parent's color.
Try to set *{background: red}.
If worked try set same on few parents .parent1 { background: pink}, .parent2 { background: lightblue}, .parent1 { background: salmon} etc.
In my case I found the color applied to force touched text was menu wrapper's background that takes most of the screen when menu is opened.
Side effect of this change - all forcetouched elements will have same color, no option to specify :hover or :active colors (you can see the color is slightly different on the 1st click) and ALL links will have same background:
I imagine you can try setting wrapper's background via JS based on what is clicked. Not sure if that will work. see docs here:
WebKit DOM Programming Topics
So far this seems to me too fragile to touch and I would not recommend doing this. Though you can change this color I've decided to let OS do what it wants here.
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've got a small problem.
I want to create an overlay effect on the picture in the following jsfiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/39gud4bh/1/
<div>
<img id="bubble" src="http://png-1.findicons.com/files/icons/2711/free_icons_for_windows8_metro/128/speech_bubble.png">
<img src="http://s30.postimg.org/lptvfyod9/speech_bubbleorange.png">
</img>
</div>
#bubble {
}
I want the overlay to have the color #ff9f2d
How is this possible? Been trying litterally everything i could find. The problem is that the image (might not be in jsfiddle) is a shape with a transparent background. This causes all my attempts to background/foreground filter the color to recolor the whole square instead of just the shape.
Really need some help.
In advance - Thank you!
EDIT - Fiddle has been updated to entail the desired outcome of the CSS on the grey bubble.
I don't think you can turn that yellow bubble into gray one with just css.
You could do that if you reversed transparent and colored parts, and filled whole square with color. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/Arministrator/j5gLgyt8/
#bubble_img{
background:yellow;
}
#bubble_img:hover{
background:#ff9f2d;
Or you can use two images (css sprites even better) as shown in one of the answers.
This may not be the exact answer you're looking for, but maybe you can consider using Font Awesome. It'll be a clean, sharp bubble and you can easily resize and color it anyway you want with CSS. Another route would be to use SVG.
http://jsfiddle.net/wilchow/39gud4bh/5/
.fa-bubble {
font-size: 140px;
color: #333333;
cursor: pointer;
}
.fa-bubble:hover {
color: #ff9f2d;
}
Just move the second image over the first and set opacity
#overlay {z-index:100;opacity:0.2;position:relative;left:-131px;top:-3px;
}
<div>
<img id="bubble" src="http://png-1.findicons.com/files/icons/2711/free_icons_for_windows8_metro/128/speech_bubble.png">
</img>
<img id="overlay" src="http://s30.postimg.org/lptvfyod9/speech_bubbleorange.png">
</div>
As far as I know there is no CSS property that will allow you change a gray colored image into a colored one.
However, the reverse is possible using CSS filters.
So if we reverse the 'process' and make the colored image appear grey by default we can remove that styling, perhaps on hover, to achieve the effect we are looking for.
#bubble {
-webkit-filter: grayscale(1) brightness(0.3);
}
#bubble:hover {
-webkit-filter: none
}
<div>
<img id="bubble" src="http://s30.postimg.org/lptvfyod9/speech_bubbleorange.png" />
</div>

I implemented a simple tab navigation by using <ul><li><a> , the problem is that there are several "layers" on each tab still needed. what I mean is, In my current implementation I have:
-tab text which is <a>text</a>
-on each tab I have a tab icon image, which I put on <li> as background-image of <li>,
But I still need:
-tab seperator image (A vertical bar image) which I intend to put on <a>,and position it on the left side background-position: left , it is working but this implementation is not in my code which I showed below on jsfiddle site because I did not find a suitable image on internet
-tab background image which occupy the whole tab, I have no idea where I should put this image?
Please check & run my implementation here on jsfiddle, in the css code, I used background-color instead of background-image just to express what I want to achieve, but I need to use background-image as the tab background.
What I tried:
I tried to put the tab background image on <li> but it will hide the
icon image which has already on <li>,
I tried to put the tab background image on <a> but it will also hide the tab seperator image when mouse hover
How to get rid of this layer probelm on tab implementation then? (Please do not suggest me to use less image, since it is one requirement of this app to use those images.)
(By the way, all images I mentioned have mouse "hover" counterpart)
If you don't want to change the HTML, you can use pseudo-elements:
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Pq7LC/39/
li:before{
content: "";
background: pink;
width: 20px;
height: 61px;
display: block;
position:absolute;
}
li:first-child:before{ /* Don't add image border before first li */
content:none;
}
You can do it with css, no need of images.

Hope it helped you :)
I have an href in HTML that I dynamically produce from a server. I have designed a nice rounded corner gif image that I would like to use as the background i.e. put the text (in white) over the gif image and have it still linkable.
The current html looks like:
<h2>
<!--img src="images/greenback.gif"-->
<a id="site-title0" class="titletext" href="#">
Alligator Creek, Bowling Green Bay National Park
</a>
</h2>
<div id="descrip0" class='description'>
20km S of Townsville. $4.85/night. Gates close...
What is the best way to do this with CSS? It seems I could either use relative positioning to move the text over the background image, but in early experiments, this affects the rest of the flow on the page.
Or, maybe using CSS background-image is the best way?
As Daniel says, really:
a.particular-link {display: block; /* or inline-block; I think IE would respect it since a link is an inline-element */
background: #fff url(path/to/image.gif) top left no-repeat;
text-align: center;
line-height: 50px; } /* line height should be equal to the height of the image to vertically center using this technique */
I'd also -and this may simply be personal habit, affectation and received 'wisdom'- suggest using .png rather than .gif. But, as noted, it's likely a personal and subjective thing.
Answer edited in response to timbo's comment.
Also, and this ain't particularly pretty, there's a code demo here: http://davidrhysthomas.co.uk/so/a-img-bg.html
You have to set the link to display: block
display: block on the a or attach the background image to the h2. Either way, be sure to set a background color on the a or the h2 if you're using white text. If some one has CSS on and images off, they wont see your link. Means you may need to fill in the corners of your rounded corner image to the bg color of the page.
