Introduction: In this article I am going to share
the trick to highlight asp.net textbox or multiline textbox by changing border
and background color on mouse hover using pure CSS(Cascading Style Sheet).
In previous articles i explained How to Convert text to uppercase or lowercase while typing in asp.net textbox using css and Show and auto close bootstrap alert messages after few seconds in asp.net and Highlight gridview row on mouse over using css in asp.net and Show tool tip message on asp.net controls using css and html
Description: In one of my previous article I explained
the same i.e. Highlight asp.net or html textbox on mouse hover using jquery . But I strongly recommend the use of CSS for this purpose because it is cross
browser compatible, fast and even works for any technology you wish to use for
example HTML, Asp.Net, PHP etc.
Implementation: Let’s
create a sample web page to demonstrate the concept
HTML source
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<style
type="text/css">
.txt {
border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
padding: 4px;
color: #333333;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
.txt:hover {
border-color: #56aff1;
background-color: #fff4d8;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<fieldset
style="width:
270px;">
<legend>Highlight textbox using CSS</legend>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtName" CssClass="txt" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" CssClass="txt" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtAddress" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="3" Columns="30" CssClass="txt" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Explanation: I have created a css class 'txt' in the head
tag and added the default style to the textbox controls and also added the
styles that will appear on hovering the textbox. Then I have assigned this css
class to each control on I want to add the style.
