What is hover effect? use of active class

  • Share this:

Hover effects are visual effects that are applied to an element when a user hovers their cursor over it. In CSS, hover effects can be created using the `:hover` pseudo-class, which is applied to an element when a user's cursor is over it.

Here is an example of how the `:hover` pseudo-class can be used to create a hover effect:

a:hover { color: blue; }

In this example, the text color of any `a` (link) the element will change to blue when the user's cursor is over it.

The `active` class is a CSS class that can be applied to an element to style it when it is in an "active" state. The active state of an element can be triggered by a user clicking or tapping on the element.

Here is an example of how the `active` the class can be used to create an active effect:

a.active { color: red; }

In this example, the text color of any `a` (link) the element that has the `active` class applied to it will be red. To apply the `active` class to an a element, it can be added to the element's HTML code like this:

<a href="#" class="active">Link</a>

The `active` the class can be used to style elements in different ways when they are in an active state, such as changing their color, background color, or font size. It is often used in conjunction with JavaScript to add interactivity to web pages.
