Summary: XHTML SPAN tag is one of the most popular tags in the HTML language, allowing you to add some very special HTML span code and purposeful elements to your webpages including: HTML hover text, or adding a background image and mouseover effects.
HTML span tags and styles
<SPAN> </SPAN>
Here at Hypergurl, we think HTML span tags are pretty awesome. This is why! For starters, here are a few examples of what you can achieve with HTML SPAN tags.
You
can highlight your text any color you like. You
can add colored text You
can add a background image to your text.
You
can add what is like an "alt tag" to your text. Try the example below
and hover your mouse over the text. This is really cool.
(Sorry, doesn't work with all browsers.)
HOVER YOUR MOUSE HERE.
We can even do image mouseovers using this great span tag. Run your mouse cursor over the image. (Click Here for text mouseover.)
Span HTML Styles
Now that you understand what can be achieved with HTML span tags, here are the codes for each particular event.
Mouseover span code
<span
onMouseOver="document.pic1.src='bluepic2.gif'" onMouseOut="document.pic1.src='bluepic1.gif'"><img
src="bluepic1.gif" height="40" width="100" name="pic1"></span>
Highlight text span code
You
can highlight your text any color you like. <span
style="background-color: #FFFF00">You can highlight your text any color you like</span>
Span color - colored text span code You can add colored text <span
style="color: red; font-size: 14pt">You can add colored text</span>
Adding a background image on text
You
can add a background image to your text.
<span style="background-image: url(plainbgrnd.jpg)">You can add a background image to
your text.</span>
Alt tag on text code
HOVER
YOUR MOUSE HERE. <span
title="ISN'T THIS SOOOOOO COOL!"><b>HOVER YOUR MOUSE HERE.</b></span>
Alt tag on text link code
To add an alt tag to a text link would be like this:
<span><a href="index.html"
title="this is so cool" target="_blank">Click Here For
Hypergurl</a></span>
And to give you an example, hover your
mouse over the link below. Note, don't click on it if you wish to stay on this page. I've noticed it works a little slower nowadays than it used to. However, it's still supported by most browsers.
Hover your mouse over this link for an example!
