Bellow is my css i’m using. The div with the largebutton class on it

  • 0

Bellow is my css i’m using. The div with the largebutton class on it works with the exception of the hover. I would like it to change it’s background color, but am not sure why its not working. Any ideas?

edit – I’m working in FF at the moment. I’m not looking for support in IE6, possibly not IE7 either.

.top .bottombar .largebutton
{
    position: relative;
    float: left;
    height: 100%;
    width: 195px;
    font-size: 13px;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    line-height: 33px;
    text-align: right;
    background-color: #99CCFF;
    margin-left: 5px;
    padding-right: 5px;
    overflow: hidden;
    cursor: pointer;
}

.top .bottombar .largebutton:hover
{
    background-color: #9999FF;
}

    I think it’s a bug in Firefox. Sometimes, when you add CSS for nested classes without specifying what elements these are applied to, the browser goes crazy. Your code works OK in other browsers, so technically it’s not your fault, but FF’s 😉
