How to Style Background with CSS on the Server-Side? (Including Links and Hover Effects)

I'm facing a dilemma in choosing between an ASP.NET control and an HTML element for creating a button with a CSS-defined background that changes on hover...

1. Initially, it seems the ASP.NET ImageButton control is not suitable for this purpose because the background I want has transparency within it. Setting it using CSS results in an icon appearing above the ImageButton in Internet Explorer (default image icon).

2. Server-side button control also doesn't work well as when its background is set with CSS, there appears to be a border around it.

3. Setting the background with CSS doesn't seem to apply to link buttons!!

4. HTML elements lack a server side onclick event
For example, the following code doesn't function as intended:

<div runat="server" onclick="serverside">
</div>

Could you please guide me on how I can accomplish this task?

Thank you in advance

Answer №1

When it comes down to it, the answer can be found by questioning whether you possess enough knowledge to make a decision within the browser or if you need to consult the server.

If all you want to do is alter the background on hover, sticking with CSS is the way to go. CSS offers a `hover` property that can be utilized, although more intricate functionality can be achieved using Javascript in the browser.

If the task at hand requires querying the database for a decision, consider these steps:

  • Reflect on the reasons driving your need for this action - as it will introduce a notable delay between when the conditions are met and when the response is received.

  • You will then require some javascript to handle interactions with the server, unless it becomes necessary for the server to re-serve the page.
