Ways to customize the appearance of the navigation bar when hovering

Is there a way to customize the hover state of a navigation bar? I would like to highlight certain menu items in a different color when they are hovered over, such as making "menu1" stand out. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

<div class='header'>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-fixed-top navbar-inverse" style= "background-color: <%= mobile_device? ? 'rgba(33, 181, 250,1);' : 'rgba(33, 181, 250,.68);'%> " >
            <div class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
                <div class="navbar-header">
                    <a class="navbar-brand" href="/" style = "padding-top: 0px; height: 60px;"><%=image_tag("white_text_new_logo.png", height: "60", alt: "Edit Entry")%> <span style="font-size:75%"> </span></a>
                    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
                        <span class="sr-only">Toggle Navigation</span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    </button>
                </div>
                <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" style="float:right; ">
                    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                        <% if !current_user %>


                            <li style="padding-left:20px" <%= yield(:active_class) == "borrow" ? "class= \"active\"".html_safe : "" %> >
                                <a href="/borrow">Borrow</a>
                            </li>
                            <li style="padding-left:20px"  <%= yield(:active_class) == "lend" ? "class= \"active\"".html_safe : "" %> >
                                <a href="/listings">Lend</a>
                            </li>
                            <li style="padding-left:20px" <%= yield(:active_class) == "faq" ? "class= \"active\"".html_safe : "" %> >
                                <a href="/faq"> FAQ</a>

Answer №1

If you have a menu item called menu1 with a class attribute, you can apply the following CSS styling when it is hovered over:

.menu1:hover {
   /* Add your CSS styles here, for example:
   background-color: red;
   */
}

The :hover pseudo-class is just one example of how to target elements based on user interaction. Other examples include :first-child, which selects the first element of its kind inside a parent element, and :not(selector), which allows you to specify exceptions. These styles will only apply when the element is being hovered over, or if it is the first child.

It's important to note that pseudo-classes cannot be used within the style attribute of an HTML element. Instead, you can define these styles within <style> tags in the <head> section of your HTML document:

<style>
   .menu1:hover {
      /* Define your CSS properties here, for example:
      background-color: red;
      */
   }
</style>
