div background color, to change onhover
CssColorsBackgroundHoverCss Problem Overview
I'm trying to make a div's background color change on mouse over.
> the div {background:white;}
the div a:hover{background:grey; width:100%;
>display:block; text-decoration:none;}
only the link inside the div gets the background color.
what could I do to make the whole div get that background color?
thank you
EDIT :
how can I make the whole div to act as a link - when you click anywhere on that div, to take you to an address.

The "a:hover" literally tells the browser to change the properties for the <a>-tag, when the mouse is hovered over it. What you perhaps meant was "the div:hover" instead, which would trigger when the div was chosen.
Just to make sure, if you want to change only one particular div, give it an id ("<div id='something'>") and use the CSS "#something:hover {...}" instead. If you want to edit a group of divs, make them into a class ("<div class='else'>") and use the CSS ".else {...}" in this case (note the period before the class' name!)
Solution 2 - Css
Using Javascript
<div id="mydiv" style="width:200px;background:white" onmouseover="this.style.background='gray';" onmouseout="this.style.background='white';">
Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after.
</div>

There is no need to put anchor. To change style of div on hover then Change background color of div on hover.
.div_hover {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.div_hover:hover {
background-color: #000000;
}
<div class="div_hover"> Change div background color on hover</div>
Solution 4 - Css
To make the whole div act as a link, set the anchor tag as:
display: block
And set your height of the anchor tag to 100%. Then set a fixed height to your div tag. Then style your anchor tag like usual.
For example:
<html>
<head>
<title>DIV Link</title>
<style type="text/css">
.link-container {
border: 1px solid;
width: 50%;
height: 20px;
}
.link-container a {
display: block;
background: #c8c8c8;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.link-container a:hover {
background: #f8f8f8;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="link-container">
<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">Stack Overflow</a>
</div>
<div class="link-container">
<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">Stack Overflow</a>
</div>
</body> </html>
Good luck!

You can just put the anchor around the div.
<a class="big-link"><div>this is a div</div></a>
and then
a.big-link {
background-color: 888;
}
a.big-link:hover {
background-color: f88;
}
Solution 9 - Css
you could just contain the div in anchor tag like this:
a{
text-decoration:none;
color:#ffffff;
}
a div{
width:100px;
height:100px;
background:#ff4500;
}
a div:hover{
background:#0078d7;
}
<body>
<a href="http://example.com">
<div>
Hover me
</div>
</a>
</body>

Just make the property !important in your css file so that background color doesnot change on mouse over.This worked for me.
Example:
.fbColor {
background-color: #3b5998 !important;
color: white;
}
