How to show hidden content when hover in CSS - html

Question

As the title says I want to show a hidden span "box" when hovering an image, but I can't get it to work, so I was hoping you guys could figure out my mistake.
HTML
<span class="DDAA__bg">
<h1 class="DDAA__headline">DANSK DYREVÆRN ÅRHUS</h1>
</span>
<span class="DDAA__pic">
<img src="img/DDAA-Logo.png" width="980" height="200" alt="Dansk Dyreværn Århus"/>
</span>
CSS
span.DDAA__bg{
height: 200px;
width: 980px;
background-color: #666;
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
span.DDAA__pic{
display:block;
visibility: visible;
}
span.DDAA__pic:hover{
visibility: hidden;
transition-delay: 2s;
}
span.DDAA__pic:hover + span.DDAA__bg{
display:block;
}
You can see here how it works now, not as good :/

Answer 1

element:hover > other_element {
display: block;
}
this is equal to the jQuery code
$(element).on('hover', function() { $(this).css("display", "block"); });
But doing hover on css sometimes is really buggy...

First you need to have jQuery installed ( look for jquery.js / jquery.min.js in source code or google for w3c jquery install )
After this you write following :
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// everything here is done once the page is loaded
// define hover event handler for a specific element
$(".the_hovered_element").on('hover', function() {
// show the element
$(".the_element_to_be_shown").css("display","block");
});
});
</script>
Don't forget that you must initially set display: none to the div that is first hidden and then shown. Also instead of .css("display","block") you can have simple animation like .fadeIn("slow");
