How to Apply Strokes to the Borders of an SVG Element on Hover

When designing interactive web elements, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a powerful tool. However, you may encounter challenges when trying to add hover effects, particularly when applying strokes around SVG borders. If you're facing issues where strokes are applied to the inner elements rather than just the borders during hover, you're not alone. This guide will walk you through a clear solution to achieve the desired effect.

Understanding the Problem

Suppose you have an SVG element that comprises an image and text. You wish to highlight the borders with strokes whenever the SVG is hovered over, but the default behavior applies the stroke to the entire SVG content, including images and text. The goal is to isolate the strokes to the border of the SVG itself.

The Solution

The solution is quite straightforward: draw lines along the SVG borders and apply strokes to these lines instead of the entire SVG element. Let's break this down into actionable steps.

Step 1: Modify the CSS

Initially, you will set up your SVG with a transparent background, which allows the border to be positioned correctly. Instead of using a border property, we’ll use lines to achieve the effect.

Here’s the modified CSS:

Step 2: Construct the SVG Structure

Next, create the SVG elements, including the necessary lines to represent the borders. Here’s how you can structure your SVG element using the <line> elements along the edges:

Key Points

SVG Elements: Use <line> elements for the borders instead of relying on CSS border properties.

Hover Effect: The hover effect creates a highlighted background, making the SVG element more interactive.

Stroke Control: By applying the stroke styles to the .lines class, you ensure that they are specifically for the border and not affecting the SVG contents.

Conclusion

Implementing a hover effect on SVG borders can enhance user interactivity on your web page. By drawing lines directly onto the SVG structure and styling them appropriately, you can create visually appealing effects that improve the user experience without disturbing the internal elements.

Feel free to experiment with color changes, transition durations, and effects to suit your design needs. Happy coding!
