I'm making a menu with an icon and some text, like this:
The problem is, I want the icon to be "highlighted" when I hover over the tab, instead of having to hover above the tiny icon. So this is what happens now:
So my question is how can I hover on one element (the tab is a div), and that activates the hover CSS for another element (the icon).
This is the code for the icon:
(HTML)
<a href="#" class="menubutton">
<span id="playicon"></span> Servers
</a>
(CSS)
#playicon {
width:12px;
height:12px;
background-image:url("img/svg/play2.svg");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
display:inline-block;
}
#playicon:hover {
background-image:url(img/svg/play_hover.svg);
}
Thank you in advance! :)
With the HTML you give, you need to change the second rule to
.menubutton:hover #playicon {
background-image:url(img/svg/play_hover.svg);
}
This rule applies to #playicon when it is a descendant of a hovered .menubutton, which is what you want (using the child selector .menubutton:hover > #playicon might be a good idea, although it won't make any practical difference).
Also, please note that having a <span> like this identified by an id is somewhat strange -- it looks like you would have multiples of this span on the same page, and ids need to be unique. If you do have multiples, replace the id with a class.
#element1:hover #element2
Live example, with more advanced css techniques
Use the :hover pseudo class on the menubutton instead of the icon
#playicon {
width:12px;
height:12px;
background-image:url("img/svg/play2.svg");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
display:inline-block;
}
.menubutton:hover #playicon {
background-image:url(img/svg/play_hover.svg);
}

I think my classes or ID's are messed up when I try to call it.
CSS:
image#ply : hover .ply-text {
visibility: visible;
}
HTML:
<image id="ply" style="height: 50px; padding:5px;" src="images.png">
<div class="ply-text">
<p>Click for more info!</p>
</div>
Some issues first:
The HTML element for embedding images is called img.
An img element's content model is empty, i.e. it may not have any child elements.
Even if those were not issues, you would not see the effect you're looking for since the text is already visible at the start.
Given that, here's a possible solution:
.ply-text {
visibility: hidden;
}
#ply:hover ~ .ply-text {
visibility: visible;
}
The ~ is a sibling selector that allows one to refer to an element following another.
Images use an <img> tag (not 'image') - that's important to note (as it hasn't been commented on so far). As remarked, you should remove the space between the id and the :hover in your css.
I would advise you remove the inline style and use css or at least add it into your id style/ add extra attributes as a class in the head of the body (css is better!).
In the style, you don't need image/img before the definition of your id, you can just leave #ply{your style} on it's own.
If you want to display the pic on hover, I would use display:block/none instead. Visibility just shows it if it's hidden. (I've done so in the snippet, run and see if it's the desired effect). Also, use an alt tag! I added one. If you want to show/hide the text you could use either but first you have to set the visibility to hidden or display to none... I added a class for ply-text on its own for this.
So your code would read
#ply {
height: 50px;
padding: 5px;
}
.ply-text{
display:none; /* or visibility:hidden*/
}
#ply:hover +.ply-text{
display:block; /* or visibility:visible*/
}
<img id="ply" src="images.png" alt="plyimage">
<div class="ply-text">
<p>Click for more info!</p>
</div>
Hope this helps
Is there a way to do this without javascript and just using CSS?
I have a navigation. The text within the anchor elements are black. Upon hover of the line item the line item becomes orange. At that point I would like to alter the child anchor element text to be white.
What I have right now is an anchor tag rule to be white when hovered. Because the anchor is smaller than the line item it means that, hovering over the line item doesn't change the text to white straight away, only when the mouse hovers over the center, where the anchor tag is.
I could post html but I don't think its necessary. Is it? Hope I'm making sense and that my question is clear.
Put another way, I'd like to alter an element based upon the hover state of it's parent element.
It is not possible to target the parent element using CSS selector. You can instead add a :hover rule to line item to change its background color. At the same time, add an additional rule that changes the color of the child link upon hover:
li:hover {
background: orange;
}
li:hover a {
color: white;
}
Demo
You can try this. Giving a tag display:block; will take the full width of your li element.
#menu li a:hover {
background: #FC6;/*added*/
}
#menu a {
color: #000;
dispaly:block;/*added*/
}
DEMO
I have this in line:
<div class="blue-car">
Car
</div>
<div class="iColor">
Blue
<div>
.blue-car:hover { color: red; }
.iColor:hover { color: read; }
I would like to make when someone hover to Car div second div which iColor change css and when hover to iColor div blue-car change css.
ie. I hover to 'Car' , 'Blue' will change color to red and when I hover to 'Blue' , 'Car' will change color to red, I want to make people aware that this two link is related.
I would love to have this in css only. No jquery. I have tried many no achievement at this moment.
Let me clear this, here is an example on this site. You could see when you hover to a country map, css link on right side will change, and you could see when you hover to a country link, country map css will change. This means this two div work each other. How they do this on this site: http://www.avito.ru
To start, CSS does NOT have a previous sibling operator. The only siblings that can be selected are adjacent (using +) or general (using ~).
It is possible to achieve the effect that you are seeking using only HTML and CSS. Below is one solution: http://jsfiddle.net/KGabX/. Basically, the .area is displayed as a table, which makes it wrap around the link and the image. However, the link is positioned absolutely, which prevents it from being "included" in a territory wrapped by the .area. This way, the .area is wrapped only around the image. Then, hovering over the .area we highlight the link. And, by hovering over the link we highlight the image.
Markup:
<div class = "area">
Link
<img src = "http://placehold.it/100x100" />
</div>
Styles:
.area {
display: table;
position: relative;
}
.area:hover > a {
color: red;
}
.area > img {
cursor: pointer
}
.area > a {
position: absolute;
right: -50px;
top: 50%;
font: bold 15px/2 Sans-Serif;
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
margin-top: -15px;
}
.area > a:hover {
color: initial;
text-decoration: underline;
}
.area > a:hover + img {
opacity: 0.5;
}
Although I could not interpret what you wrote very well, I immediately noticed a flaw in your css selector.
Change your code to this:
<style>
.blue-car:hover a { color: red; }
.iColor:hover a { color: red; }
</style>
What's different about it? iColor:hover a. Look at the a, anchor selector. It was added because your previous CSS was only selecting the div. In css the child element, in this case the anchor, will supersede it's parents. There's two ways you can approach this. The first, or make the anchor tags color in css inherit.
If this wasn't your problem I'll fix my answer.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking because your question is a bit unclear.
From what I can understand, your issue stems from the fact that you're referring to the color property of the div, rather than the color property of the link.
That's a simple fix: all you need to do is drill down through the div to the link.
.blue-car:hover a{
color: red;
}
.iColor:hover a{
color: red;
}
Demo
Keep in mind that this isn't the best way to do this unless you absolutely need to refer to the links within the context of the div. I understand that your question fits into a broader context within your code, but for the example you gave here, all you really need is this:
a:hover{
color: red;
}
Again, I realize that you may need to change the colors or be more specific, but there's probably a better way to do this, even if that's the case.
The issue with this particular implementation is that your div is larger than your link, and a hover on your div is what activates the color change, so you'll run into this issue:
I have two divs, one after another but float side by side, one is of a button img type thing and the other is some words associated with the what the button is. They are about 20px apart on screen.
What I want to happen is that when you hover over the button it changes and also changes the text, this I can do using the "+" operator in the css file, however I also want when you hover the text for the button to change, this isn't possible with the + as the text div is after the one with the img.
Below is my html and css, is there any simple way to do this? I don't want to really be using javascript and such to do it so if it requires major things I won't bother.
I just realized that I changed a few things before asking the question and it doesn't actually work with the + either
I have added a fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/LzLyK/1/
Basically when you hover the square it turns green, when you hover the text it turns green, what I want is to hover the square and square and test turns green and if you hover the text the square and text turns green
HTML
<div class="services-section-holder">
<div class="services-section-img"></div>
<div class="services-section-title"><p>Exhibition</p></div>
</div>
CSS
.services-section-holder{
position:relative;
width:270px;
height:70px;
margin-bottom:5px;
}
.services-section-img{
position:relative;
width:80px;
height:75px;
float:left;
background:url(../images/greycircle.jpg);
}
.services-section-title{
position:relative;
float:left;
height:75px;
margin: 0 auto;
display: table;
padding-left:20px;
}
.services-section-title a {
text-decoration:none;
}
.services-section-title a {
color:#000;
}
.services-section-title a:hover {
color:#906;
}
.services-section-img:hover {
background:url(../images/greycirclehover.jpg);
}
.services-section-img:hover + .services-section-title a{
color:#906;
}
The issue is that you're trying to ascend then descend the DOM with CSS which cannot work, CSS selectors can only work on identifying siblings or descendants.
Either wrap the initial a in its child div so both your divs are at the same level, or move class="services-section-img" from the div to its parent a
Demo Fiddle
Example fiddle of working solution/logic vs your current code
Again, CSS cannot ascend the DOM so any adjacency selectors only work by identifying elements following the initially specified element.
I'm trying to add two hover animations to each image in my photo galleries. Basically, when you hover over an image, I'd like for there to be a text that shows up in a black overlay and when you hover over that text, it becomes underlined. Essentially, I'd like it to look something like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/vAWpd.jpg
I know I have to create a hover element but the fact that I have two create two animations within each other really confuses me. Could anyone give me a few words of guidance?
Thanks!

You mean like this?
HTML:
<div id = 'pie' src = 'http://www.pieisgood.org/images/slice.jpg'><p id="pText" style='left:50px; top:50px; position:absolute;'>Text</p></div>
CSS:
#pie
{
width:500px;
height:265px;
background-image:url('http://www.pieisgood.org/images/slice.jpg');
}
#pText
{
display:none;
transform:rotate(60deg);
border:1px solid;
}
#pText:hover
{
text-decoration:underline;
}
#pie:hover > #pText
{
display:block;
}
The text is hidden until you hover over the div with an ID of pie. The > means it will effect the element after it if it is a child of pie. It changes display:none on the paragraph to display:block while you're hovering over the image. #pText:hover means when you hover over the paragraph, text-decoration:underline will underline the text while you're hovering over the paragraph.
