How to display mouseover effect in GridView rows using only CSS?

Question

This is probably a really simple thing but I am completely new to CSS. I just want to be able to have mouseover hover effect on my rows in gridview, changing the color of the row if it is being hovered over. This code below:

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" CodeFile="RepComisionesDos.aspx.vb" Inherits="Contraloria_Nomina_RepComisionesDos" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="E" runat="Server">
<style>     
      #Gv tr.rowHover:hover
        {
            background-color: Yellow;
            font-family: Arial;
        }
</style>
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
    <tr class="BarraIdentidad">
        <td>
            &nbsp;&nbsp;
        </td>
        <td class="BarraIdentidad">
            &nbsp;<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server">Users</asp:Literal>
        </td>
    </tr>      
 </table>
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="C" runat="Server">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
 <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
  <tr class="Encabezado" id="TrFiltros" runat="server">
    <td style="width: 15px;">
        &nbsp;&nbsp;          
    </td>
    <td>
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UPFiltro" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
         <ContentTemplate>

            <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" id="TbFiltros" runat="server" clientidmode="Static">
                    <tr class="Encabezado">
                        <td>
                            Plaza:
                        </td>
                    </tr>
            </table>
        <tr>

    <td>
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UPDatos" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <table runat="server" >
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <asp:GridView ID="Gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ClientIDMode="Static" RowStyle-CssClass="rowHover"
                                CellPadding="1" OnRowDataBound="Gv_RowDataBound"> 
                                 <Columns>
                                    <asp:BoundField DataField="MES_ANIO" HeaderText="MES">
                                        <ItemStyle Width="80px" CssClass="tdIzq" />
                                    </asp:BoundField>
                                    <asp:BoundField DataField="PERIODO" HeaderText="PERIODO">
                                        <ItemStyle Width="80px" CssClass="td" />
                                    </asp:BoundField>
                                    <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="CVE_USUARIO" HeaderText="USUARIO" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="/Ventas/RepArchivoPersonalAuxiliarEmp.aspx?prospecto={0}"
                                        DataTextField="USUARIO">
                                        <ItemStyle Width="180px" CssClass="tdUsuario" />
                                    </asp:HyperLinkField>
                                     </Columns>
                            </asp:GridView> 
                           </td>
                        </tr>
                   </table> 
</asp:Content>

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

I resolve the problem, this code below:

1. Add the tag RowStyle-CssClass
2. In the CSS add .GvGrid:hover

This is the code:

 <style>
     .GvGrid:hover
        {
            background-color: #FFEB9C;
            border-top: solid;
            color:#9C6500;
        }
 </style>

   <asp:GridView ID="Gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ClientIDMode="Static" RowStyle-CssClass="GvGrid" CellPadding="1">

Thanks for the comments!

Please note that ASP.NET gridview is converted into HTML table when web server sends the page back to the client. The following code will work.

.Gv tr:hover
{
    background-color: #000;
            font-family: Arial;
}

HTML:

 <asp:GridView ID="Gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                                CellPadding="1" OnRowDataBound="Gv_RowDataBound"> 
               <Columns>
                      <asp:BoundField DataField="MES_ANIO" HeaderText="MES">
                                        <ItemStyle Width="80px" CssClass="tdIzq" />
                                    </asp:BoundField>
                      <asp:BoundField DataField="PERIODO" HeaderText="PERIODO">
                                        <ItemStyle Width="80px" CssClass="td" />
                                    </asp:BoundField>
                      <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="CVE_USUARIO" HeaderText="USUARIO" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="/Ventas/RepArchivoPersonalAuxiliarEmp.aspx?prospecto={0}"
                                        DataTextField="USUARIO">
                                        <ItemStyle Width="180px" CssClass="tdUsuario" />
                                    </asp:HyperLinkField>
              </Columns>
 </asp:GridView> 

Code Behind:

protected void Gv_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) {
        e.Row.Attributes.Add("onMouseOver", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#f1f3f5';this.style.cursor='pointer';");
        e.Row.Attributes.Add("OnMouseOut", "this.style.backgroundColor=this.originalstyle;");
    }   
}
