How to change menu image when hovering over different links? - html

Question

Let me start of by saying that I am new to this. I have some code from a template that I am using. On the menu drop down there is a list of the links to other pages and next to it is an image. What would I need to add to make the image change to another image when you hover over each of the links?
Here is the code.
<li class="menu-item-has-children megamenu">
<a href="#">
<span class="link-icon"></span>
<span class="link-txt">
<span class="link-ext"></span>
<span class="txt">
Equipment
<span class="submenu-expander">
<i class="fa fa-angle-down"></i>
</span>
</span>
</span>
</a>
<ul class="nav-item-children">
<li>
<div class="container megamenu-container">
<div class="vc_row row megamenu-inner-row bg-white p-0">
<div class="container ld-container">
<div class="row ld-row">
<div class="megamenu-column col-md-3 py-md-3 px-md-4">
<div class="megamenu-column-inner pl-md-4 py-md-4">
<ul class="lqd-custom-menu reset-ul font-size-15 lh-2 ltr-sp-025 font-weight-medium">
<li>
<i class="fa fa-angle-right mr-2"></i>Vertical Cartoners
</li>
<li>
<i class="fa fa-angle-right mr-2"></i>Horizontal Cartoners
</li>
<li>
<i class="fa fa-angle-right mr-2"></i>Pre Made Pouch Machines
</li>
<li>
<i class="fa fa-angle-right mr-2"></i>Case Packers
</li>
<li>
<i class="fa fa-angle-right mr-2"></i>Rigid Container Fillers
</li>
<li>
<i class="fa fa-angle-right mr-2"></i>Carton Sleeve Wrappers
</li>
</ul>
</div><!-- /.megamenu-column-inner -->
</div><!-- /.megamenu-column -->
<div class="megamenu-column col-md-3 bg-cover bg-center" data-responsive-bg="true">
<img class="invisible" src="./img/equipment/vertical-cartoner.jpg" alt="Megamenu Image">
</div><!-- /.megamenu-column -->
</div><!-- /.row ld-row -->
</div><!-- /.container ld-container -->
</div><!-- /.vc_row -->
</div><!-- /.megamenu-container -->
</li>
</ul>
</li>

I would use scripting for this kind of thing
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#op1').hover(function(){
$('#image').css('background-image','url("https://via.placeholder.com/150.png?text=op1")')
});
$('#op2').hover(function(){
$('#image').css('background-image','url("https://via.placeholder.com/150.png?text=op2")')
});
$('#op3').hover(function(){
$('#image').css('background-image','url("https://via.placeholder.com/150.png?text=op3")')
});
});
#image{
background-image: url("https://via.placeholder.com/150");
border: 1px solid black;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
}
#op1, #op2, #op3{
padding: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="image"></div>
<div id="op1">hover for op1</div>
<div id="op2">hover for op2</div>
<div id="op3">hover for op3</div>

Find this in your css stylesheet
.megamenu .link-icon {
...
}
Add the next lines right after it for a mouse-over effect. Sorry for the dots. For reason that your current css is unknown it is not possible to give the full solution.
.megamenu > a:hover .link-icon {
...
}
