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

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
a:hover {
    background: yellow; 
}

Practical example

Edit

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.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
​
    a:hover {
        background: yellow; 
    }
​
  </style>
</head>
<body>
