So as the title says, I'm trying to have my Navbar using Twitter Bootstrap to have different colors when hovering over particular buttons. Here is my index.html code snippet:
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse"
data-target="#myNavbar">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Frank does...</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="myNavbar">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Page 3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
The goal is to have the different buttons on the navbar (page 1, page 2, etc.,) be different colors. However, I don't know how to do that. I tried placing <Div>
on the li
elements such as:
<div class="home"><li><a href="#">Home</a></li></div>
but that somehow messes up the structure of the navbar, messing up the navbar and making the home button go above the navbar.
How can I make it so that each li
element can have its own hover
color?
Also, here is my CSS code that changes the hover color to red, but only red.
.navbar-inverse .navbar-collapse li a:hover,
.navbar-inverse .navbar-collapse li a:focus{
background-color:red;
}
You can use Pseudo Classes for this: See CSS Pseudo-classes.
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav li:first-child:hover {
background-color: green;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav li:nth-child(2):hover {
background-color: lightblue;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav li:nth-child(3):hover {
background-color: teal;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav li:nth-child(4):hover {
background-color: yellow;
}
