I have an image that kind of slides up from the menu when you hover it. Because it's hidden under the menu i want to give the bottom of the image a little bit of deph by adding a dark fade to the bottom. I figured the best way to achieve this is to use pseudo elements. I don't really care much about IE support as it's such a small detail.
So, here's what i've got:
.header-section .trygg-ehandel-icon { position: absolute; top: 45px; right: 280px; z-index: 0; display: block; // Stripped out some transition style here } // Here's where the cool stuff begins! .header-section .trygg-ehandel-icon::after { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; height: 20px; width: 20px; display: block; content: '.'; z-index: -999999px; background: red; }
First off, i'm unsure whether to use double or single colons before "after". I've always used one but recently i noticed people using two, so what's the way to go? Either seems to work!
You can see it in action here: http://goo.gl/RupQa
It's the yellow logo popping up above the header menu. Why am i not seeing a 20x20 red box above the image? The parent (.trygg-ehandel-icon
) is absolute positioned, so the pseudo element should show up relative to it, right?
I've been trying to fix this for over an hour now, any suggestions?
Unfortunately, most browsers do not support using :after or :before on img tags. $(function() { $('. target'). after('<img src="..." />'); });
To clarify, you CAN NOT give :hover to a pseudo element. There's no such thing as ::after:hover in CSS as of 2018.
The same applies to the :after pseudo-element.
As answered in this question.
Using before
and after
psuedo-elements with the img
tag does not work in most browsers, by design.
Image tags are self-closing (<tag />
) tags because they contain no content. Since they do not contain any content, no generated content can be appended (::after
) or prepended (::before
) to the existing content.
The article linked above lists two work-around solutions. The CSS work-around is very hackish in nature, while the jQuery solution is much more elegant, but depends on both Javascript being enabled and the jQuery library being included.
