New buttons - no hover?

[Ryk]

When creating new CSS buttons what must one do to ensure the hover works? I have added new ones at http://chicapparel.co.uk/index.php?m...e=products_new (for the "More info") and also at http://fastlec.co.uk/ (the Create Account button in the login sidebox).

Obviously they are being picked up as css buttons, but why no hover effect? What am I doing wrong?

Tje the Create Account button in the login sidebox on the fastlec site took me to this link that appears correct, si it not?:

https://www.fastlec.co.uk/index.php?main_page=login

The 'more' is linked to

http://chicapparel.co.uk/index.php?m...e=products_new

which is the same page.

I know your expertise, so I must be missing something in your request...

Is the hover effet that you are referring to?

EDITED: Never, ever post the zen_id or zenAdminID (session id) in a forum, email, newsgroup, newsletter, advertisement, etc. etc. etc. or you will be doomed ...

I'm not too worried about the actual links at the moment - I just can't figure out why there's no hover action on those buttons. But it's getting late here after a long day at the keyboard ...maybe I need to sleep on it!

Typo in the CSS?

Nope - nothing whatsoever to do with CSS!!

But I have found the answer - the define statement for the new button in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/button_names.php can NOT be empty; you simply must have something - even if a non-existent image name or just a space, as the definition.

So this:

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_MORE_INFO', '');

causes the hover to malfunction...

and this

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_MORE_INFO', ' ');

or this

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_MORE_INFO', 'non-existent_image.gif');

allows it to function correctly.

Interesting and noteworthy - thanks for the tip Ryk
