Cufon mouse-over

Question

I have some HTML like this:

<div class="button2" onclick="">
 <div class="button_text">LOCATE STORES</div>
 <div class="button_arrow"></div>
</div>

I use this code for Cufon:

Cufon.replace('div.button2', { fontFamily: 'Bliss2H', hover: true, fontSize: '12px' });

My CSS:

div.button2 {
  color: #d79645;
}
div.button2:hover {
  color: white!important;
}

Cufon works, however the text color does not change on mouse-over.

Answer 1

Your buttons are links? This is the CSS for what I've got going on this page: http://ianmartinphotography.com/test-site/

My cufon buttons are at bottom.

h3  {color: #79868e; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 21px; margin:5px 0 0 0; } 
a:link    {color: #555055; text-decoration: none; outline:none;}
a:visited {color: #555055; text-decoration: none; outline:none;}
a:hover   {color: #79868e; text-decoration: none; outline:none;}

<div id="about"><h3><a href="about">about</a></h3></div>

Answer 2

Have you tried #FFFFFF instead of white?

Couldn't you simply have: div.button2:hover {color: #FFFFFF;}

And not have !important?

Answer 3

For performance reasons :hover is not enabled by default, which means that you’ll have to enable it separately for elements that need it. You can do this with:

Cufon.replace('h1', {
    hover: true
});
