On Hover Move The Text Up

Question

So I'm trying to move up the text when you hover over the image but I can't seem to get it to work. I tried using :hover and then using padding-bottom to move it up but it didn't work. So I basically want the text "Nature" or "Bengal Tiger" to move up when you hover over the image. Here's a pic that illustrates what I want to achieve.

Here's the code

Answer 1

How about something like this:

.image:hover h4 {
    margin-top: -50px;
}

Answer 2

The text is placed absolutely relative to the div.image element using top:90px . Adding padding at the bottom will not change this, it will only add some padding below the text. You can see this if you add a visible border to the text.

The easiest way to handle this is to change the top position of the text when the mouse hovers the image. See the udpated fiddle .

NOTE: I've only updated the first image so that you can compare the two elements to see the difference.
