How to use a:hover in inline CSS inside the HTML style attribute?<\/p>\n

By adding links to external stylesheets ,<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201djavascript\u201d manual=\u201d%3Cscript%20type%3D%22text%2Fjavascript%22%3E%0A%20%20var%20link%20%3D%20document.createElement(%22link%22)%3B%0A%20%20link.setAttribute(%22rel%22%2C%22stylesheet%22)%3B%0A%20%20link.setAttribute(%22href%22%2C%22http%3A%2F%2Fwikitechy.com%2Fyourstylesheet.css%22)%3B%0A%20%20var%20head%20%3D%20document.getElementsByTagName(%22head%22)%5B0%5D%3B%0A%20%20head.appendChild(link)%3B%0A%3C%2Fscript%3E%0A\u201d message=\u201djQuery Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

Caution: the above code assumes there is a head section.<\/p>\n

We can get the same effect by changing your styles with JavaScript in the onMouseOver and onMouseOut parameters, although it\u2019s extremely inefficient if we need to change more than one element:<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201dmarkup\u201d manual=\u201d%3Ca%0A%20%20%20href%3D%22abc.html%22%0A%20%20%20onMouseOver%3D%22this.style.color%3D\u2019%230F0\u2019%22%0A%20%20%20onMouseOut%3D%22this.style.color%3D\u2019%2300F\u2019%22%0A%3EText%3C%2Fa%3E%0A%0A\u201d message=\u201dHtml Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

Also, we may have to switch it with document.getElementById(\u2018idForLink\u2019).<\/p>\n

In this case, the inline code: \u201cbackground-color: yellow;\u201d is the switch color on hover, so we got to put the color we need into there and thereby this solution works.<\/p>\n

Adding inline style using Javascript:<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201djavascript\u201d manual=\u201ddocument.head.insertAdjacentHTML(\u2018beforeend\u2019%2C%20\u2019%3Cstyle%3E%23mydiv%3Ahover%7Bcolor%3Ared%3B%7D%3C%2Fstyle%3E\u2019)%3B%0A\u201d message=\u201djQuery Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

or a bit harder method:<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201djavascript\u201d manual=\u201ddocument.getElementById(%22mydiv%22).onmouseover%3D%20function(e)%7Bthis.className%20%2B%3D%20\u2019%20my-special-class\u2019%3B%20%7D%3B%0Adocument.getElementById(%22mydiv%22).onmouseleave%3D%20function(e)%7Bthis.className%20%3D%20this.className.replace(\u2018my-special-class\u2019%2C\u201d)%3B%20%7D%3B%0A\u201d message=\u201djQuery Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

Multi-word styles in Javascript:<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201djavascript\u201d manual=\u201delement.style.fontSize%3D%2212px%22%0A\u201d message=\u201djQuery Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

a:hover is part of the selector, not the CSS rules. A stylesheet has two components:<\/p>\n

selector {rules}
\nInline styles only have rules; the selector is implicit to be the current element.<\/p>\n

The selector is an expressive language that describes a set of criteria to match elements in an XML-like document.<\/p>\n

However, a style set can go most anywhere in the code:<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201dmarkup\u201d manual=\u201d%3Chtml%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3Cstyle%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%23uniqueid%3Ahover%20%7Bdo%3Asomething%3B%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%3C%2Fstyle%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3Ca%20id%3D%22uniqueid%22%3Ehello%20wikitechy%3C%2Fa%3E%0A%20%3C%2Fhtml%3E%0A\u201d message=\u201dHtml Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

Just define a style block directly to the link you want to style:<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201dmarkup\u201d manual=\u201d%3Cstyle%20type%3D%22text%2Fcss%22%3E%0A%20%20%20%20myLinkClass%3Ahover%20%7Btext-decoration%3Aunderline%3B%7D%0A%3C%2Fstyle%3E%0A%3Ca%20href%3D%22%2Fwiki%22%20class%3D%22myLinkClass%22%3Ewiki!%3C%2Fa%3E\u201d message=\u201dHtml Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n[ad type=\u201dbanner\u201d]\n

Hover is a pseudo class, and thus cannot be applied with a style attribute. It is part of the selector.<\/p>\n

we cannot set arbitrary inline styles for hover, but we can change the style of the hover cursor in CSS using the following in the appropriate tag:<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201djavascript\u201d manual=\u201dstyle%3D%22cursor%3A%20pointer%3B%22%0A\u201d message=\u201djQuery Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

we can do id by adding a class but never inline.<\/p>\n[pastacode lang=\u201dmarkup\u201d manual=\u201d%3Cstyle%3E.hover_pointer%7Bcursor%3Apointer%3B%7D%3C%2Fstyle%3E%0A%3Cdiv%20class%3D%22hover_pointer%22%20style%3D%22font%3Abold%2012pt%20Calibri%3B%22%3EHello%20Wikitechy%20World%3C%2Fdiv%3E%0A\u201d message=\u201dHtml Code\u201d highlight=\u201d\u201d provider=\u201dmanual\u201d\/]\n

we can re-use the class everywhere.<\/p>\n[ad type=\u201dbanner\u201d]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
