The "a:hover" literally tells the browser to change the properties for the <a>-tag, when the mouse is hovered over it. What you perhaps meant was "the div:hover" instead, which would trigger when the div was chosen.
Just to make sure, if you want to change only one particular div, give it an id ("<div id='something'>") and use the CSS "#something:hover {...}" instead. If you want to edit a group of divs, make them into a class ("<div class='else'>") and use the CSS ".else {...}" in this case (note the period before the class' name!)
Using Javascript
<div id="mydiv" style="width:200px;background:white" onmouseover="this.style.background='gray';" onmouseout="this.style.background='white';">
Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after.
</div>There is no need to put anchor. To change style of div on hover then Change background color of div on hover.
.div_hover {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.div_hover:hover {
background-color: #000000;
}<div class="div_hover"> Change div background color on hover</div>To make the whole div act as a link, set the anchor tag as:
display: block
And set your height of the anchor tag to 100%. Then set a fixed height to your div tag. Then style your anchor tag like usual.
For example:
<html>
<head>
<title>DIV Link</title>
<style type="text/css">
.link-container {
border: 1px solid;
width: 50%;
height: 20px;
}
.link-container a {
display: block;
background: #c8c8c8;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.link-container a:hover {
background: #f8f8f8;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="link-container">
<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">Stack Overflow</a>
</div>
<div class="link-container">
<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">Stack Overflow</a>
</div>
</body> </html>
