Show Button On Hover Using HTML And CSS

To Show Button On Hover It Takes Only Two Steps:-

  1. Make a HTML file and define markup
  2. Make a CSS file and define styling

Step 1. Make a HTML file and define markup

We make a HTML file and save it with a name show_button.html

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="button_style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="image_div">

<p class="img_wrapper">
<img src="images/image1.jpg">
<span><input type="button" value="PLAY"></span>
</p>

<p class="img_wrapper">
<img src="images/image2.jpg">
<span><input type="button" value="PAUSE"></span>
</p>

<p class="img_wrapper">
<img src="images/image3.jpg">
<span><input type="button" value="RESUME"></span>
</p>

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

In this step we add three images and then create three buttons to show.

We use images because we want to show button when user hover on images you can use anything you want in place of images and wrap both image and button in <p> tag it is must to have a container for image and button other wise your button will not going to be show over image.

Step 2. Make a CSS file and define styling

We make a CSS file and save it with a name button_style.css

body
{
 text-align:center;
 width:995px;
 margin:0 auto;
 padding:0px;
 font-family: "Myriad Pro","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;
 background-color:#E0F2F7;
}
#wrapper
{
 margin:0 auto;
 padding:0px;
 text-align:center;
 width:995px;
}
#wrapper h1
{
 margin-top:150px;
 font-size:55px;
 color:#0489B1;
}
#wrapper h1 a
{
 color:#0489B1;
 font-size:18px;
}
#image_div .img_wrapper
{
 width:180px;
 position:relative;
 display:inline-block;
}
#image_div .img_wrapper img
{
 width:100%;
}
#image_div .img_wrapper:hover img
{
 -webkit-filter: blur(1.7px);
}
#image_div .img_wrapper span
{
 display:none;
 position:absolute;
 top:40px;
 left:30px;
}
#image_div .img_wrapper:hover span
{
 display:table-cell;
}
#image_div .img_wrapper span input[type="button"]
{
 width:120px;
 height:40px;
 background-color:#00BFFF;
 border:none;
 color:white;
 font-weight:bold;
 font-size:17px;
}

In this step we use simple styling to show button over image when user hover on image.

One of the most important thing we use is position:relative in img_wrapper and position:absolute in span so that our button will be shown inside the image container.
