Hello everyone i hope you can tell me what is that im doing wrong here.
im trying to make a simple hover effect , but when i hover on the div , the ::AFTER background color covers the text but i want the text to come on top of evrerything , i tried adjusting z-index of the anchor but that didnt help. and now im stuck
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-decoration: none;
list-style: none;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body{
height: 100vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.box{
width: 300px;
height: 150px;
background-color: blueviolet;
cursor: pointer;
}
a{
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
font-size: 20px;
height: 100%;width: 100%;
color: black;

you can fix that by separating the text with spans like
<a href=""><span style="z-index: 100;">Home</span></a>
