Caption image on hover

Is it possible to make an image overlap text on a horizontal menu bar when hovering with the mouse? I am designing a horror website and would like a bloody handprint to appear over the links in the menu bar when they are hovered over. I know this can be done as I have seen something similar before, but I need assistance to implement it. Thank you in advance.

The image I want to overlay the text with on hover is for the link to the homepage.

Answer №1

Without showing the code you've attempted, it can be challenging for others to grasp your goal, as smdsgn mentioned. However, assuming I comprehend your query correctly, I can offer a few suggestions.

If you wish to incorporate an image into your menu bar link upon hovering, you can use CSS' :hover selector along with the background attribute (or the background-image attribute if you prefer), just like I've demonstrated in this jsfiddle.

nav ul li:hover {
  background: #someColour url(yourImage.file) no-repeat left;
  background-size: 50px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

If you desire more customization, like concealing the link text when hovered over, jQuery can be implemented, as shown in this jsfiddle.

var hiddenText;

$('li').hover(function() {
  hiddenText = $(this).text();
  $(this).css({'background': '#someColour url(yourImage.file) no-repeat center','background-size': '50px'})
  $(this).text('');
}, function() {
  $(this).css({'background': '#someOtherColour'})
  $(this).text(hiddenText);
})

If these suggestions don't solve your issue, please provide more context to your question along with the code you've tried.

Answer №2

After some trial and error, I managed to solve this on my own. By utilizing a z-index in my CSS, I was able to achieve the desired effect where the "logo" image would fade in and out upon hover.

<ul id="menu">
<li><a style="color: #207000" href="Home.html"><img class="img2" src="logo.png" width="40px" height="35px"/>Home</a></li>
<li><a style="color: #207000" href="Random.html"><img class="img2" src="logo.png" width="40px" height="35px"/>Random Page</a></li>
<li><a style="color: #207000" href="Characters.html"><img class="img2" src="logo.png" width="40px" height="35px"/>Characters</a></li>
<li> <a style="color: #207000" href="Timeline.html"><img class="img2" src="logo.png" width="40px" height="35px"/>Timeline</a></li>
<li> <a style="color: #207000" href="Gallery.html"><img class="img2" src="logo.png" width="40px" height="35px"/>Gallery</a></li> 
<li> <a style="color: #207000" href="Videos.html"><img class="img2" src="logo.png" width="40px" height="35px"/>Videos</a></li> 
<li><a style="color: #207000" href="RegalFT.html"><img class="img2" src="logo.png" width="40px" height="35px"/>Regal Family Tree</a></li>
