Yes, mastering CSS can be a bit tricky, especially when dealing with the parent-child relationship.
To successfully hide the child element when hovering over the parent, it's important to consider how CSS handles these interactions. Simply hiding the element might not work as expected because once hidden, you are no longer hovering over it, causing it to reappear and creating a loop.
It's also worth noting that using display: none
to hide the child may cause issues, as it impacts the size of the parent element. As a workaround, consider using visibility: hidden
.
For a practical example and demonstration, check out this code snippet: https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=FVART8OA0CWY
The CSS rule
.hide_hover:hover span{ visibility: hidden; }
specifies that a
span
element within a parent with the class
hide_hover
will be hidden when the parent is hovered over.
