CSS hover not working properly in my menu bar

Question

I am trying to change the background-color of a menu, while mouse-hover. But it is not working.

I have used the following CSS code:

#access a:hover{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #F99733, #E47300) repeat scroll 0 0     transparent; 
 }

Answer 1

Personally I like using a grey inset box-shadow to style my element and then I can simply swap the background colours on hover.

HTML

<div>
    Example
</div>

CSS

div
{
    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 10px;
    font-size: 20px;
    background-color: #0ff;
            box-shadow: inset 0px -50px 75px -50px #000;
       -moz-box-shadow: inset 0px -50px 75px -50px #000;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px -50px 75px -50px #000;
}

div:hover
{
    background-color: #bff;
}

Answer 5

Different browsers use different gradient rules, try using the code below:

div:hover {
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 bottom, from(#F99733), to(#E47300)); /* safari & chrome */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(#F99733, #E47300); /* Firefox */
    -ms-filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#FFF99733,endColorstr=#FFE47300); /* IE8 */
    filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#FFF99733,endColorstr=#FFE47300); /* IE 7 */
    zoom: 1;
    background: linear-gradient(#F99733, #E47300);
}

Answer 6

It doesn't work because its having issues with your :focus pseudo selector which is applied to your <a>.

First you need to understand that you are only supporting gecko based browsers (Mozilla Firefox) by adding the vendor prefix of -moz to your CSS.

There's a website that helps you make gradients so you can copy and paste them and they have an image as a fallback so it looks good in older browsers too.

So it will end up looking like this:

#access li a:hover,
#access li a:focus {
  background: #f99733;
  background: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,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);
  background: -moz-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover,  #f99733 0%, #e47300 100%);
  background: -webkit-gradient(radial, center center, 0px, center center, 100%, color-stop(0%,#f99733), color-stop(100%,#e47300));
  background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover,  #f99733 0%,#e47300 100%);
  background: -o-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover,  #f99733 0%,#e47300 100%);
  background: -ms-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover,  #f99733 0%,#e47300 100%);
  background: radial-gradient(ellipse at center,  #f99733 0%,#e47300 100%);
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#f99733', endColorstr='#e47300',GradientType=1 );
}

I find that this works for me in most cases and its based on what I understand your specific needs are.
