Icon Over IMG on Hover

  • How can I get a magnify icon to display over my thumbnails (img) on hover?
    You can see what I mean below:

    HOVER OFF:
    [attachment=1]bio_0000_Layer 2.jpg[/attachment]
    HOVER ON:
    [attachment=0]bio_0001_Layer 1.jpg[/attachment]

    Thanks in advance.
  • You mean like an overlay image appearing over the img?

    Something like this might work:
    <div id="container">
    <img src="img.jpg" alt="Image" />
    <div></div>
    </div>



    div.container img + div {
    display: none;
    [... all other styling code ...]
    }

    div.container img:hover + div {
    display: block;
    }

    div.container div:hover {
    display: block;
    }


    The img will probably have to be a fixed height and width for it to display well. You'll also need to position the overlay properly.
  • Sorry that doesn't make any sense to me
  • Hey Realph,

    Not sure what your skill level is at. How are you trying to accomplish this? Basic HTML? jQuery? CSS?
