In this article, we would like to show you how to change link background on hover using CSS.

Quick solution:

a:hover {
    background: yellow; 
}

 

Practical example

In this example, we use CSS :hover pseudo class to create a separate style for a element that is hovered. In order to change the background color, we use background CSS property.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    a:hover {
        background: yellow; 
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
   <a href="https://www.dirask.com/">Hover me to change background</a>
</body>
</html>
