CSS Element:hover
The :hover
pseudo-class in CSS is used to apply a specific style to an element when it is being hovered over by the mouse cursor. This allows you to create interactive elements on your webpage that change appearance when interacted with by your users.
To use the :hover
pseudo-class, you simply include it after the element selector that you want to apply the style to. For example, if you want to change the color of a button when it is hovered over, you would use the following CSS:
button {
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
button:hover {
background-color: red;
}
In this example, the button starts with a blue background color and white text color. When the button is hovered over, the background color changes to red. This creates a visual feedback for the user when interacting with the button.
You can use the :hover
pseudo-class on a wide range of HTML elements, including links, buttons, images, and more. Experiment with different styles and effects to create engaging user experiences on your website.
