Is Bootstrap Hover Class Inadvertently Included Without Cause?

I am in the process of creating a very basic navigation bar. Bootstrap has been incorporated into my project, along with my custom stylesheet. I believe there is only one bootstrap class on my page. Despite adding a customized hover effect, when hovering over the links, an unintended animation occurs involving color changes and other effects.

Current hover animations can be viewed here:

No Hover

Hover

I aim to maintain white text during hover without the black underline. Here is the code snippet:

HTML/EJS

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Madhose</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/styles.css">
   <nav>
                <a href="#" class="logo">Madhose</a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Poems</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#recipes">Recipes</a></li>
                    <li><a href="/posts">Posts</a></li>
                </ul>
            </nav>

  <body>
    <div class="container-fluid">

<h1>Posts</h1>
<p><%= postText %></p>
<% posts.forEach(function(post){ %>
  <h1><%= post.title.substring(0,200) %></h1>
  <p><%= post.content.substring(0,200) %>...
  <a href="/posts/ <%= post.title %>">Read More</a></p>
<%});  %>

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I strongly suspect that this issue may be caused by bootstrap, but please let me know if you think it could be something else!

Answer №1

To ensure your styles take precedence over Bootstrap's, it is important to have your cascading order properly structured. Utilizing a tool like devtools in Chrome to inspect the CSS of an element reveals multiple levels of CSS targeting that element. However, not all styles are actively applied as some may be overridden by others. It is crucial for your styles to have a higher cascade value than Bootstrap's in order to be prioritized.

For more consistent overriding of values, consider using pseudo-namespacing:

nav#topNavigation ul li a {}
nav#topNavigation ul li a:hover {}

By incorporating a unique ID into the element selectors, we elevate the cascade value for these styles, ensuring our CSS takes precedence over Bootstrap's.
