CSS hover

Hi,

I was wondering if there is way of changing the color or background-image of one element when hovering over any other element.
Something that I know is possible with javascript, but I want to know if this can be done using pure CSS.

Example:

If i have 5 links in a horizontal row and I would like different images to appear below them in another <div> tag when I hover over them.

is this possible?
do u have an example?

thanks a lot,
Oren

You're gonna hafta use a bit of javascript to call the CSS I think... like this:
CSS:

Code:

 <style type='text/css'>
 .no1 {
 background-color:#ffffff;
 }
 .no2 {
 background-color:#ff9933; /*orange*/
 }
 </style>

HTML:

Code:

 <div onmouseover="document.getElementById('area').className='no2';" onmouseout="document.getElementById('area').className='no1';">
text
</div>
<br />
<div id='area' class='no1'>
Text 2
</div>

I tested it - should work fine. Is this what you had in mind? Or would you like me to expand?

you can add hover sub-class for any element in html but it won't work for IE browser, for now... hopefully they would support it in IE7 though.

No JS needed, though like Shadow said, it doesn't work in IE.

Code:

.item {
 	 background-color: #000;
 }
 .item:hover {
 	 background-color: #FFF;
 }

BBD & Shadow - the question was about changing the background of an unrelated element from the one being hovered over

Probably should have been described as a mouseover event rather than a hover. But now we're getting back into semantics

I would assume Shadow Wizard could easily achieve this with JavaScript. :P
