According to a trick found in Stack overflow, I can change the background of the parent element hovering a child like this:
parent sibling { }
parent sibling:hover { }
parent:hover sibling { }
But I need to change the background color hovering different child elements. For example, hovering the Facebook button, the background goes blue, while hovering the Google + button, the backgroud goes red.
I've tried this:
<div class="share_box">
<div class="white-container">
<div class="facebook-sibling"/>
<a class="facebook-child-button"/>
<div class="twitter-sibling"/>
<a class="twitter-child-button"/>
<div class="googleplus-sibling"/>
<a class="googleplus-child-button"/>
</div>
</div>
but for multiple buttons it didn't work. The result I expect is similar to:
If you set the parent position: relative
, it will contain any position: absolute
children.
Create a new element inside the end of the parent, then make it position: absolute
and position and size it so that it fills the parent.
Then use z-index: -1
to set it behind the rest of the content (e.g. the buttons).
Then you can use the General Sibling Combinator (~
) to select the new element after the hovered element.
.facebook:hover ~ .background { background-color: rgb(50, 100, 150); }
.twitter:hover ~ .background { background-color: rgb(50, 150, 250); }
.google:hover ~ .background { background-color: rgb(250, 75, 50); }
.share {
position: relative;
}
.background {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: -1;
} /* Following styling for demo purposes only, not relevant */ .facebook:before { background-position:-46px -28px; width:101px; } .twitter:before { background-position:-151px -28px; width:90px; } .google:before { background-position:-245px -28px; width:94px; } .button:before { display:inline-block; content: ""; height:36px; background-image:url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/AXvMk.png"); border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); } .button { display:inline-block; padding: 2px; } .white-container { padding: 10px 20px; font-size: 0; background: #fff; border-radius: 3px; } .background { background: #fff; } body { margin: 0 4px; border: 1px solid #aaa; border-top: 0px; box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) } .share { padding: 10px 15px; box-shadow: 0px 5px 5px -5px rgba(0,0,0,0.3) inset } body:before { content: ''; height: 4px; display: block; background: #fff; border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa } html { background: #efefef }
<div class="share">
<div class="white-container">
<a href="#" class="button facebook"></a>
<a href="#" class="button twitter"></a>
<a href="#" class="button google"></a>
<div class="background"></div>
</div>
</div>
