How do I? change background colors with CSS?

:) How do I change the background color of different sections of a website? :eek:

I have an example here:

http://www.orangeafro.com/

I saw this site via the demo pages on CSSvault:
http://cssvault.com/cat_demos.php

What the site does is it changes the background color when you hover your mouse over a different section on the site. I'm guessing I have to use the "hover" function of CSS somehow.

Anybody familar with this? :confused:

First off, in CSS, they're called 'pseudo-classes'. Internet Explorer only supports the :HOVER pseudo-class for anchors (A) so if it's something other than a link you need to change, you'll need to use JavaScript. Here's an example of hover being used to change the text color of a link to green on hover...<style type="text/css">
a:hover {
color: #090;
}
</style>If you want a hover effect on a DIV or any element other than A, put this JavaScript somewhere in the head of your page (or a seperate linked JS file):<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var els = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
for(var i = 0; i < els.length; i++) {
els[i].onmouseover = function() {
this.className += ' hover';
}
els[i].onmouseout = function() {
this.className = this.className.replace(/ ?hover/, '');
}
}
}
</script>Then you'd need to add a class as well as a pseudo-class:<style type="text/css">
#element:hover, #element.hover {
background: #090;
}
</style>
