552746 2007-05-24 11:48:00 I don't understand what the hover means

:hover {text-decoration: underline; background-color: #00008B;; }

What does :Hover mean?

Something is underline and the background color is #00008B

What is hover?

552747 2007-05-24 11:57:00 hover:

Hang in the air; fly or be suspended above

Be suspended in the air, as if in defiance of gravity

Hold your cursor over the top of something on your screen

552748 2007-05-24 13:04:00 :hover is what you use to apply CSS rules to an element when your mouse pointer is over it. In IE, only links may have hover styles (although IE7 may have fixed this bug). In most other browsers, you can create a hover style for pretty much anything. Erayd (23)
552749 2007-05-24 19:35:00 Therefore :hover would be the equivalent of onmouseover in java? Myth (110)
552750 2007-05-24 19:46:00 Therefore :hover would be the equivalent of onmouseover in java?In javascript - yep. Greg (193)
552751 2007-05-25 01:20:00 :hover is usually a lot faster than onmouseover though - onmouseover requires processing and rendering through the javascript engine, which in almost all browsers is a lot slower than the CSS one. Erayd (23)
