ram859 Posts: 7 Joined: 5/29/2003 Status: offline	Hover effect on list items - 9/2/2003 16:17:04 Is it possible to apply a hover effect on a bulleted list that has list-style-images for the custom bullet? I am trying to create a list for a navigation menu and I'm wondering if it is possible to change the image bullet on hover? I'm OK with the custom bullets applied in CSS but I'd like to get the hover effect on hyperlinks. Can't figure this out, need to know if someone has done this. I understand I could create the same effect using image hovers but I'm just curious if it can be done in CSS. Thanks, Roman

There is no hover event for bullet lists, but you can create a bullet image for links that change on mouseover...

heres how I recently did it:

a.tab:link {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url('images/g-block.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-size: 1.4em;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000080;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 9px}
			
a.tab:visited {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url('images/g-block.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-size: 1.4em;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000080;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 9px}
            
a.tab:hover {
font-size: 1.4em;
font-weight: normal;
color: #ccff00;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url('images/b-block.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 9px}
          
a.tab:active {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url('images/g-block.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-size: 1.4em;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000080;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 9px}

Notice that the background image is different on hover, and that I have a 9px left side padding...

The image is a 6px square, so the padding gives me 3px between the image and the text. The little block changes from green to blue on hover.

It isn't a bulleted list, but it resembles one since it has a bullet style image to the left of each link...
