  1. POHow to show text on image when hovering?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to show a description when hovering over an image. I've already done it in a less than desirable way, using image sprites and hovers here: <a href="http://willryan.us/design.html" rel="noreferrer">http://willryan.us/design.html</a> I want it to look exactly like how I have it, but using real text instead of an image.</p> <p>I've tried a few different things but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I'm trying to do it using HTML and CSS only, but I'm not sure if that's possible.</p> <p>Feel free to poke around in my code, I'll paste what I think is relavent here.</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false"> <div class="snippet-code"> <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>div#projectlist { width: 770px; margin: 0 auto; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 40px; } div#buzzbutton { display: block; float: left; margin: 2px; background: url(content/assets/thumbnails/design/buzz_sprite.jpg) 0 0px no-repeat; width: 150px; height: 150px; } div#buzzbutton:hover { background: url(content/assets/thumbnails/design/buzz_sprite.jpg); width: 150px; height: 150px; background-position: 0 -150px; } div#slinksterbutton { display: block; float: left; background: url(content/assets/thumbnails/design/slinkster_sprite.jpg) 0 0px no-repeat; width: 150px; height: 150px; margin: 2px; } div#slinksterbutton:hover { background: url(content/assets/thumbnails/design/slinkster_sprite.jpg); width: 150px; height: 150px; background-position: 0 -150px; }</code></pre> <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div id="projectlist"&gt; &lt;div id="buzzbutton"&gt; &lt;a href="buzz.html" title=""&gt;&lt;img src="content/assets/thumbnails/transparent_150x150.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="slinksterbutton"&gt; &lt;a href="slinkster.html" title=""&gt;&lt;img src="content/assets/thumbnails/transparent_150x150.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre> </div> </div> </p>
