Question

I have several html buttons and I have changed their appearance with CSS. Now I want to add some effects such as hover and active. I found hover and active for anchor <a href=""> tags but not for <button> tags. Any suggestion or work around?

Answer 1

Both :hover and :active work for buttons, at least in chrome and IE8 (all I have access to at the moment).

button:hover{
   background-color: red;   
}

button:active{
   color: yellow;   
}
