Html links hover color

HTML Links — Different Colors

An HTML link is displayed in a different color depending on whether it has been visited, is unvisited, or is active.

HTML Link Colors

By default, a link will appear like this (in all browsers):

• An unvisited link is underlined and blue
• A visited link is underlined and purple
• An active link is underlined and red

You can change the link state colors, by using CSS:

Example

Here, an unvisited link will be green with no underline. A visited link will be pink with no underline. An active link will be yellow and underlined. In addition, when mousing over a link (a:hover) it will become red and underlined:

a:visited color: pink;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: none;
>

a:hover color: red;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
>

a:active color: yellow;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: underline;
>

Link Buttons

A link can also be styled as a button, by using CSS:

CSS Links

With CSS, links can be styled in many different ways.

Styling Links

Links can be styled with any CSS property (e.g. color , font-family , background , etc.).

Example

In addition, links can be styled differently depending on what state they are in.

The four links states are:

• a:link — a normal, unvisited link
• a:visited — a link the user has visited
• a:hover — a link when the user mouses over it
• a:active — a link the moment it is clicked

Example

/* unvisited link */
a:link color: red;
>

/* visited link */
a:visited color: green;
>

/* mouse over link */
a:hover color: hotpink;
>

/* selected link */
a:active color: blue;
>

When setting the style for several link states, there are some order rules:

Text Decoration

The text-decoration property is mostly used to remove underlines from links:

Example

a:visited text-decoration: none;
>

a:hover text-decoration: underline;
>

a:active text-decoration: underline;
>

Background Color

The background-color property can be used to specify a background color for links:

Example

a:link <
background-color: yellow;
>

a:visited background-color: cyan;
>

a:hover background-color: lightgreen;
>

a:active background-color: hotpink;
>

Link Buttons

This example demonstrates a more advanced example where we combine several CSS properties to display links as boxes/buttons:

Example

a:link, a:visited <
background-color: #f44336;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
>

a:hover, a:active background-color: red;
>

More Examples

Example

This example demonstrates how to add other styles to hyperlinks:

Example

Another example of how to create link boxes/buttons:

a:link, a:visited <
background-color: white;
color: black;
border: 2px solid green;
padding: 10px 20px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
>

a:hover, a:active background-color: green;
color: white;
>

Example

This example demonstrates the different types of cursors (can be useful for links):

How to Change Link Colors with CSS

There are three ways of changing the link color: inline, internal and external.

Inline method

Add the style attribute directly to the hyperlink code and specify the color property through the style attribute, then give a color value to it.

Example of changing a link color with the inline method:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> p>Visit our a href="https://www.w3docs.com/" style="color: #8ebf42">website a>. p> body> html>

Result

Internal method

Example of changing the link color with the internal method:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> a < color: #8ebf42; > style> head> body> p>Visit our a href="https://www.w3docs.com/">website a>. p> body> html>

There are 4 link states that links can be styled depending on what state they are in:

• a:link — a normal, unvisited link,
• a:visited — a link the user has visited,
• a:hover — a link when a user mouses over it,
• a:active — the moment a link is clicked.

When setting the style for several link states, follow these rules:

Example of using different link states:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> /* unvisited link */ a:link < color: #ccc; > /* visited link */ a:visited < color: #095484; > /* mouse over link */ a:hover < color: #8ebf42; > /* selected link */ a:active < color: #800000; > style> head> body> p>Visit our a href="https://www.w3docs.com/">website a>. p> body> html>

How to change the colors of the hyperlink underline and anchor text

To change the underline color, first of all, you need to remove it with the «none» value of the text-decoration property and set the «none» value, then add the border-bottom property with the width (in this case, used as a hyperlink underline width) and border-style (solid, dotted, or dashed) properties. For the anchor text color, use the color property.

Example of changing a hyperlink underline and anchor text color:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> a < text-decoration: none; > a:link < color: #000; border-bottom: 1px solid #ff0000; > a:visited < color: #e600e6; border-bottom: 1px solid #b3b3b3; > a:hover < color: #2d8653; border-bottom: 1px solid #000099; > style> head> body> p>Visit our a href="https://www.w3docs.com/">website a>. p> body> html>

Example of styling links with the mentioned methods:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> a.one:link < color: #ccc; > a.one:visited < color: #095484; > a.one:hover < color: #8ebf42; > a.two:link < color: #ccc; > a.two:visited < color: #095484; > a.two:hover < font-size: 150%; > a.three:link < color: #ccc; > a.three:visited < color: #095484; > a.three:hover < background: #8ebf42; > a.four:link < color: #ccc; > a.four:visited < color: #095484; > a.four:hover < font-family: monospace; > a.five:link < color: #095484; text-decoration: none; > a.five:visited < color: #095484; text-decoration: none; > a.five:hover < text-decoration: overline underline; > style> head> body> p>Mouse over the links and watch how they will be changed: p> p> a class="one" href="#">This link changes color a> p> p> a class="two" href="#">This link changes font-size a> p> p> a class="three" href="#">This link changes background-color a> p> p> a class="four" href="#">This link changes font-family a> p> p> a class="five" href="#">This link changes text-decoration a> p> body> html>

Now, we’ll demonstrate another example, where we use the color property with its «inherit» value. This will make the element take the color of its parent.

Example of changing the link color with the «inherit» value of the color property:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> p < color: green; > p a < color: inherit; > style> head> body> h1>Example h1> a href="https://www.w3docs.com/">W3docs.com a> p>Visit our a href="https://www.w3docs.com/">W3docs.com a> website. p> body> html>

Example of styling links with the CSS text-decoration-color property:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> a < text-decoration-color: grey; > a:link < color: #777777; > a:hover < color: #2d8653; > style> head> body> p>Visit our a href="https://www.w3docs.com/">website a>. p> body> html>

External method

Using external stylesheets you can take control of all the hyperlinks of your site. With external stylesheets, many attractive hyperlink effects can be created to develop the look of your website.

With the external method, you’ll link your web pages to an external .css file that can be created by any text editor in your device. This is a more efficient method, especially when you need to style a large website. You can change your whole site at once by editing one .css file.

Как изменить цвет ссылки при наведении?

Для изменения цвета текстовой ссылки при наведении на неё курсора мыши применяется псевдокласс :hover, который добавляется к селектору A . Сперва через селектор A задаём цвет обычных ссылок, затем с помощью :hover задаём цвет ссылок при наведении (пример 1).

Пример 1. Изменение вида ссылки

В данном примере ссылка становится подчёркнутой и меняет свой цвет, когда на неё наводится указатель (рис. 1). Заметьте, что псевдокласс :hover в коде идёт после :visited . Это имеет значение, иначе посещённые ссылки не будут менять свой цвет.

Рис. 1. Вид ссылки при наведении

Аналогично можно поменять и цвет фона под ссылкой при наведении на неё, добавив свойство background к селектору a:hover , как показано в примере 2.

Пример 2. Изменение цвета фона ссылки

Результат данного примера показан на рис. 2. Чтобы текст плотно не прилегал к фону, к селектору A добавлено свойство padding.
