166032 - (megahardver.hu) www.megahardver.hu - [CSS] Mouseover mess

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Other, defect, P4)

Description

[bugs]

Just load the URL, and move the mouse above different part of the article
(inside the biggest border):
-Title
-Author
-Date
-Body text
-Images (and the areas around them)

Depending on where do you move the mouse and what speed (it may jump some
areas), the text style --color: black, blue, red and attributes: normal,
underlined, red underlined-- changes to different sets, what is very annoying.

Well, the page author asked for it:
.cikk:hover   {text-decoration: underline; color: red;}

That's funny. I see the red underlines while hovering over the text while using
mozilla 1.1. Mozilla 1.0.1 show everything OK. Was there a .hover bug patched
recently?

Accepting.

Don't miss the author-date line, where hovering the date makes it blue, but
hovering author makes _both_ author and date blue.

Comment 4

[Jacek Piskozub]

It seems :hover working only on link element was fixed in May in bug 5693. But
it seems the fix was never checked into the 1.0 branch (contrary to comment
5693#204) or there was a regression. I'll check this tomorrow with Netscape7. If
I am right N7 has this bug (and therefore will show the p[age as the author
intended, and not as CSS directs).

Anyway, this does not change the fact that the Webmaster is wrong using
".cikk:hover" instead of ".cikk a:hover", etc.

Comment 5

[Jacek Piskozub]

As expected, Netscape7 does not see the problem as it is based on mozilla 1.0.1.

It seems the webmaster'e email is [e-mail]. I got this from
http://www.megahardver.hu/impresszum.php. I hope "design, html" means the same
in Hungarian ;-)

Attachment: Version of the page with the corrected CSS error.

This changes all .foo:hover into a.foo:hover.

Comment 7

[Jacek Piskozub]

Ignore my comment #4. The correct CSS is:
a.cikk:hover

In similar fashion I propose the whole set of rules for cikk:

 .cikk {font-family: Verdana;font-size: 10pt;color: black;}
 a.cikk:link    {text-decoration: underline; color: blue;}
 a.cikk:visited {text-decoration: underline; color: blue;}
 a.cikk:active  {text-decoration: underline; color: blue;}
 a.cikk:hover   {text-decoration: underline; color: red;}


I've sent the evangelism letter to mailto:[e-mail].

Two notes:
 * both bug 5693 and bug 96984 could be related
 * the suggested style rules may not be optimal - see
   http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/css/1999/09/links

David: I will correct my suggestions in the second letter I will send to the
author later this month. There was no reaction nor reply to the first :-(

Comment 10

[Jacek Piskozub]

Sent the second letter with David's advice included.

Comment 11

[Jacek Piskozub]

No change. Futuring the bug.

Comment 12

Looks fixed to me. Marking as such.
