CSS hover effects are easy to create and can be used to modify text, images, or other objects when the mouse pointer hovers over them. A new rule is created for the effect using the appropriate tag for the object. For example, a link can be underlined when hovered over by creating a “hover pseudo-class” with the desired effect indicated in parentheses.
CSS hover effects are simple enough to create, and basic hover effects can be implemented and modified quickly and easily with a number of other options. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used to style and lay out a document created in a markup language and can be used to easily create hover effects. Hover effects are changes that occur to text, images, or other objects in a document when the pointer controlled by a mouse is placed over the object. CSS hover effects are usually created within the CSS code and can be implemented quickly and effectively.
One of the simplest types of CSS hover effects to create is an effect that causes a change to a link on a website when hovered over it. For example, someone might want to create a text link that looks like standard text or is a different color than the rest of the page, but when it’s “hovered” or “hovered over,” it’s underlined or encouraged. How precisely this is done will typically depend on the exact encoding used on the page, but in a simple case the CSS hover effect can be added within the CSS rules within the ‘style’ section.
A new rule is created for the CSS hover effect using the appropriate tag for the object to which the effect is being added. For example, the text you choose could be part of a list or be selected within the body of a web page. This text should have a specific tag associated with it in the body encoding. With this tag annotated, the rule can be created to establish a CSS hover effect for any object with that given tag.
Using text, for example, if you want a link to be underlined when a user hovers over it, you can start by tagging that link within the body code and creating a special rule for that tag. Within this rule you can indicate what color that text should be, easily making it stand out from the surrounding text and visually indicating that the user might want to hover over it, which would then trigger the CSS hover effect . This effect is added by creating a “hover pseudo-class” to the tag for the text line.
If the tag for the text, for example, was “a”, then you would use the pseudo-class that looked like “a:hover {…}” with the desired CSS hover effect indicated in parentheses. Using the above example, if the desired effect were to underline the text when hovered over it, then it would read “text-decoration: underlined;” inside the parenthesis. There are several hover effects that can be created for different objects, and each has a specific command to create the effect, but the process is similar in most cases.
