More options for Mouse Over effect



User: Christopher 12 years ago
I'm hyperlinking thumbnail pics. It would be great if I could mouse over and include an opacity overlay or border or something to distinguish the thumb from the others – using EW. At this point, I'll have to import two photos and call up the second photo (with border) on mouse over.

It isn't a very efficient way to do this since the browser has to load two images.

If you are inserting a few of these it may be easier to use CSS. Set up a class like this...

<style type="text/css">
.button {
width: 95px; /* image width */
height: 95px; /* image height */
background: #fff;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 2px solid #000; /* border width, type and color */
opacity: 0.5; /* image opacity */
filter: alpha(opacity=50); /* image opacity gor IE */
}
.button:hover {
color: #ff0000;
border: 2px solid #0A4BFF; /* mouseover border width, type and color */
opacity: 1; /* rollover image opacity */
filter: alpha(opacity=100); /* rollover image opacity for IE */
}
</style>

The above CSS changes both the border color and opacity on mouseover.

Paste the relative path to the image into this HTML...

<a href="#"><div class="button" style="background: url('Relative-Path-To-Image') no-repeat;"></div></a>

... and replace the hash sign with the URL to the page or file.

If you need a horizontal or vertical row of these buttons they can all be created in one snippet using an unordered list to cut down the quantity of code required.
