How to add border to an element on mouse hover using CSS ?
We have given a web page containing elements and the task is to add border to an element on mouse move over (hover) using CSS. When we add a border to an element on hovering the mouse, it affects the position of the other nearest element. To remove this problem, we can use the CSS margin property.
Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html lang = "en" > < head > < meta charset = "utf-8" > < title > Add CSS Border on Mouse Hover without Pushing Content </ title > < style > ul { padding: 0; list-style: none; } ul li { float: left; margin: 10px; } ul ul li { display: block; } ul li:hover { border: 5px solid green; overflow: hidden; } ul ul li:hover img { margin: -5px; } </ style > </ head > < body > < h2 >GeeksForGeeks</ h2 > < h2 > How to apply border to an element on mouse hover without affecting the layout in CSS? </ h2 > < ul > < li >Home</ li > < li >news</ li > < li >Images</ li > < li >Music</ li > </ ul > </ body > </ html > |
