Text color change on hover over button

colors, css, hover, text

Solution

The CSS property `color` controls the text color in elements generically. In your case, to change the color on hover, use the `:hover` specifier;

input[type = "submit"]:hover {
    color: #FF0000;
    //you can add more styles to be applied on hover
}

Note that you can as well specify the color using the `rgb(x, y, z)` format. Here's a little demo to illustrate: little link. You can play around with the demo and view the source here: another little link.

Problem

I am trying to change the color of the text inside the button on hover. I can make the button itself change color, but I want the button text to change color too. Here is my current css: ``` button, input.button, a.button, input[type="submit"] { background:#2e77ae; background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae); background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae); background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae); background: linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae); border-color:#2e77ae;} button:hover, input.button:hover, a.button:hover, input[type="submit"]:hover{ background:#E6D332; background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332); background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332); background: linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332); border-color:#2e77ae;} button:focus, input.button:focus, a.button:focus, input[type="submit"]:focus { background-color:#E6D332;} ```
