Hi,
I'm trying out the following:
CSS
.className {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.className:hover {
background-color: red;
}
HTML
<div class="className"></div>
I know the :hover pseudo-class only works on anchors in Internet Explorer, but what bothers me is that I can't get it to work in Firefox 1.5 either. On the contrary, a select like "#elementID:hover" does work in Firefox. Is this a bug in Firefox or am I using a wrong CSS syntax? Any possible solutions?
Regards,
Gerry. 5  15767

Difficult without seeing your code, but it could well be a case of
specificity. If you'd have #content div:hover{background-color:blue;}
elsewhere in your stylesheet for instance, your .className:hover rule
will only work if you add #content to it, so that it is more specific
than the contradicting rule.

Here's some code that doesnt work like I'd expect it to. The DIV doesnt turn
red when hovering, not in IE nor FF.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.className { width: 30px; height: 30px; border: 1px solid black; }
.className:hover { background-color: red; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="className"></div>
</body>
</html>

<html>
[snip code]
Add this line above your <html>:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
(and use a <title>, and add 'type="text/css"' to the <style> tag, but
that's not causing your problem)

Assuming that's your real code, an empty div has no height, so there's
nothing to see. Browsers aren't required to render empty elements, anyway.
If there is more to it, post a URL, not more code.

Thanks, seems to have solved my problem. Didn't realize the doctype
definition was of that importance.
