Style svg?

[wragen22]

Hi folks,
I have seen several posts on how to style svg’s, but i’m not quite understanding for my situation.

I have some svg images that is simply text. I am exploring avoiding web fonts because of rendering issues. I am trying to style these svg’s by dropping them into the html and styling in css, but this is not working. Can someone help me achieve this?

Here is what i’m trying – In my HTML:

CSS:

.style {
margin: 40px auto 40px;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
fill: #e05f5a;
&:hover {
@include transition(#4a4a4a .1s ease);
fill: #4a4a4a;
}

Is it the transition not working or the color change?

The transition won’t work I would assume because (I think) it should be

transition: (fill .1s ease);

No?

It’s also odd that the containing div AND the svg have the same class…isn’t it?

[wragen22]

Yes, it is the color change I am having issues with. And for the containing div and the svg, I have been struggling with this as well. For some reason If I were to only leave one class, say for the containing div and nothing for the svg, nothing shows up. However, when I placed the class in both section the svg does show up properly…. :-/

So if you try

svg.style {
fill: xxxxxxx;
}

** note…no spaces **

nothing happens to the fill?

[wragen22]

so you recommend in my css file changing to svg.style { } ?

[Paulie_D]

Dunno…does it work if you do?

svg.style /* no space */

will only select svg elements that have a class of style…the div element won’t be selected at all.

svg .style /* with space */

will select elements with a class of style **inside** svg elements…and that’s not what you want.

>** img.style, since it’s an img element after all..

Oops…you are right!

In that case…it won’t work at all….it’s just an image.

You can only apply the fill to SVG elements.

Doh!

This…

is not the same as

#129230

Interesting… so how might I be able to apply css properties to the svg? Hover ease ect?

[Paulie_D]

You have to use the SVG element…not an image element.

fill=”red” stroke=”blue” stroke-width=”5″ />

So styling directly in the svg code? I can’t use external css?

[Paulie_D]

I **think** if you give each element a class or an ID, you can do it with CSS &/or JS.

In fact, you can: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/KoIrg

Hover…sure.

Codepen updated.

Still unable to get this to work…

I’m currently importing the svg code as background data in css

and for my code, I am using

.logo {
background: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,[data]);
}

with the codefish code in place of the “[data]”

With my actual svg data before mobilefish
