Creating Rollover Buttons
Rollover buttons change their appearance when your visitor points at or hovers over them.
To change links on rollover:
1. | Create a set of links in the usual way in the (X)HTML document (see page 103).
|
2. | In the CSS, style the a:link and a:visited selectors with the “initial state” of the links by adding background color or image properties.
|
3. | Modify the colors or backgrounds slightly for the a:focus and a:hover selectors so that the buttons change appearance when they get the focus or are pointed at.
|
4. | If desired, select a third style for buttons when they’re activated by setting the CSS for the a:active selector.
