<li> rollover + text

Question

I have a menu with tiled images w/text under them. See Fiddle:

Is there a way I can rollover the box and have the text also activate its hover state, and vice versa?

Answer 1

Yes.

Instead of using :hover on the actual elements, apply it through their common parent, the li .

So use

li:hover .rounded instead of .rounded:hover

and

li:hover .tileText instead of .tileText:hover

Answer 2

Yup http://jsfiddle.net/GF8tS/1/

I modified the CSS, so when the user hovers over the list-item , it would modify the CSS of the .tileText and the .rounded

li:hover .rounded {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 3px rgba(193, 232, 0, .75);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 3px rgba(193, 232, 0, .75);
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 3px rgba(193, 232, 0, .75);
}
li:hover .tileText {
color:#C3EA00;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}
