Css hover sometimes doesn't work on svg paths

css, html, svg

Solution

There's no fill so the interior does not catch mouse events by default and therefore hover doesn't react to that. Changing pointer-events to all will fix it in this case:

path{
    fill:none;
    stroke:black;
    pointer-events:all;
}

Problem

I got a svg with paths, and i have css hover on them, but hover sometimes work, sometimes not. What can be the problem? ``` <div id="map_wrapper"> <svg width="640" height="480" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">  <g> <title>Layer 1</title> <path id="svg_3" d="m200,114l-114,95l26,97l99,20c0,0 19,-67 19,-68c0,-1 -1,-5 4,-8c5,-3 39,-10 40,-10c1,0 13,-2 14,-9c1,-7 -4,-36 -8,-40c-4,-4 -23,-15 -27,-17c-4,-2 -24,-16 -24,-23c0,-7 -1,-15 -1,-21c0,-6 -6,-19 -7,-19c-1,0 -21,3 -21,3z" stroke-linecap="null" stroke-linejoin="null" stroke-dasharray="null" stroke-width="5" stroke="#000000" fill="none"/> <path id="svg_4" d="m244,101c0,0 14,55 16,56c2,1 22,11 24,13c2,2 23,17 24,18c1,1 1,28 -1,31c-2,3 -3,25 -9,30c-6,5 -32,14 -35,14c-3,0 -8,5 -10,8c-2,3 -10,37 -10,37c0,0 7,10 16,15c9,5 53,12 59,12c6,0 30,0 40,-8c10,-8 34,-7 35,-31c1,-24 1,-48 1,-65c0,-17 -13,-61 -15,-66c-2,-5 -21,-21 -21,-23c0,-2 34,-20 44,-15c10,5 29,24 33,28c4,4 10,20 16,5c6,-15 28,-31 -1,-46c-29,-15 -25,-24 -55,-25c-30,-1 -42,-5 -53,-5c-11,0 -46,-2 -52,1c-6,3 -46,16 -46,16z" stroke-linecap="null" stroke-linejoin="null" stroke-dasharray="null" stroke-width="5" stroke="#000000" fill="none"/> <path id="svg_5" d="m428,180c0,0 -3,52 -4,53c-1,1 -2,27 -2,31c0,4 -8,29 -11,34c-3,5 -15,36 -21,38c-6,2 -77,18 -81,18c-4,0 -68,0 -68,7c0,7 -1,18 8,23c9,5 23,9 45,14c22,5 97,12 111,6c14,-6 44,-20 55,-30c11,-10 28,-28 37,-42c9,-14 14,-15 23,-40c9,-25 16,-109 12,-114c-4,-5 -32,-12 -45,-9c-13,3 -59,11 -59,11z" stroke-linecap="null" stroke-linejoin="null" stroke-dasharray="null" stroke-width="5" stroke="#000000" fill="none"/> </g> </svg> </div> ``` and css ``` path{ fill:none; stroke:black; } path:hover{ fill:red; stroke:blue; } ``` Here is the fiddle, just hover them quickly. http://jsfiddle.net/gWXbn/
