Hover effects can enhance user experience by changing text color dynamically. - jasper

After exploring multiple examples on the forums, I am still unable to solve this particular issue. There is a report element that links to a sub report and is designed to display in RED color. My goal is to change the CSS so that when hovering over the element, it displays a blue underline successfully with the following code:

    ._jrHyperLink:hover         { text-decoration: underline;
                        color: #0563c1 ;
}

However, I also want to change the font color to #0563c1 when hovering. I attempted the following:

._jrHyperLink:hover         { 
                        color: #0563c1 ;
}

and

 ._jrHyperLink:hover         { 
                        color: #0563c1 !important ;
}

Unfortunately, neither of these changes the default color upon hover.

The code for the report element defining the appearance is shown below:

<td rowspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; text-indent: 0px; vertical-align: middle;text-align: right;" tabindex="0" class="subfocus">

18,036

This translates to the following styling:

element.style {
    font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #FF0000;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.2578125;
    font-weight: bold;
}

If any of this information is relevant, I'm unsure of what else to try.

Answer №1

CSS rules work based on the concepts of cascade and specificity. So, if you want elements with the class subfocus to change to red when hovering over their parent with the class _jrHyperLink, simply changing the color of the parent will not override the styles set for the child.

To achieve the desired effect of changing both the underline of the parent element and the text color of the child when hovering over the parent element with the class ._jrHyperLink, you can create two separate CSS rules:

._jrHyperLink:hover {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

._jrHyperLink:hover .subfocus {
  color: #0563c1;
}

As long as there are no conflicting nested rules affecting the color of the .subfocus element in your CSS, this should effectively override any previous styling.

Answer №2

I'm a bit unclear on what you're asking. Are you referring to an element with the _jrHyperLink class?

Based on your code snippet, it seems like your desired element is nested within a <td class="subfocus">. If that's the case, you could experiment with the following CSS instead:

.subfocus:hover{ 
    color: #0563c1 !important ;
}
