Add a link to an image in a css style sheet

Question

I am looking to add a link to an image in a CSS style sheet so it will navigate to the link when the image is pressed.

The code for the image itself is:

 #logo{
    background-image: url(images/logo.png);
    width: 981px;
    height: 180px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;

What is the code to add to allow it to navigate to a hyperlink? For example: If I wanted it to navigate to http://home.com

Answer 1

You can not do that...

via css the URL you put on the background-image is just for the image.

Via HTML you have to add the href for your hyperlink in this way:

<a href="http://home.com" id="logo">Your logo</a>

With text-indent and some other css you can adjust your a element to show just the image and clicking on it you will go to your link.

EDIT:

I'm here again to show you and explain why my solution is much better:

<a href="http://home.com" id="logo">Your logo name</a>

This block of HTML is SEO friendly because you have some text inside your link!

How to style it with css:

#logo {
  background-image: url(images/logo.png);
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto;
  text-indent: -9999px;
  width: 981px;
  height: 180px;
}

Then if you don't care about SEO good to choose the other answer.

Answer 2

You don't add links to style sheets. They are for describing the style of the page. You would change your mark-up or add JavaScript to navigate when the image is clicked.

Based only on your style you would have:

<a href="home.com" id="logo"></a>

Answer 3

You could do something like

<a href="http://home.com"><img src="images/logo.png" alt="" id="logo"></a>

in HTML
