Many times there are clients that want to know how to apply a CSS hover effect in their website. This is an easy process when done with CSS. First we will write a div tag and give it an id. We will call our example of a CSS hover effect hover.

[code]<div id="hover"></div>[/code]

Now we will target the div in our style sheet. We are just using a square for our hover effect example here.  Please notice that we input another set of commands with CSS and we use #hover:hover to let the DOM know what to do when people hover over the image.

[code]

<style>
#hover{
width:100px;
height:100px;
background:red;
}

#hover:hover{
background:purple;
with:200px;
}
</style>[/code]
