Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a button hover effect that adds an underline to the buttons. The underline effect will vary depending on the button that is being hovered over. We will use HTML and CSS to achieve this effect. Let's get started!

Creating the Folder and HTML File

To begin, we will create a folder and an HTML file to contain our code. We will use VS Code as our code editor and the Live Server extension to preview the changes in real time.

Styling the Buttons

Next, we will style the buttons using CSS. Each button will have a different class and positioning. We will create a container and place the buttons inside it. We will also add some basic styling to the container and buttons.

Adding Underline Effect to Buttons

To add the underline effect, we will use pseudo-elements. We will target the buttons using their respective classes and use the ::after pseudo-element to create the underline. We will position the pseudo-elements absolutely and style them to appear as underlines.

Animating the Center Button

In this step, we will animate the center button to scale in and out when hovered over. We will use the transform property to achieve this effect.

Animating the Left Button

Similar to the center button, we will animate the left button to scale in and out when hovered over. We will also change the transform origin to make the animation start from the left side.

Animating the Bottom Button

Next, we will animate the bottom button to move up and down when hovered over. We will use the translateY property to achieve this effect.

Adding Transitions

To make the animations smooth, we will add transitions to the transform property. This will give a gradual change to the animations.

Styling the Hover Effect

In this step, we will add some additional styling to the buttons when hovered over. We will change the cursor to a pointer and add a background color to the buttons.

Finalizing the Project

Finally, we will make some final adjustments and refinements to the project. We will add comments to the code for better understanding and clean up any unnecessary code.

And there you have it! You have successfully created a button hover effect with underline animation. Feel free to customize the styling and animations to suit your needs. Happy coding!
