I have a link that is editable, if someone hover on that link there should be a fa fa-edit icon on hover
Here is the html code
<a href="#" class="btn" id="company_name" data-type="text" data-pk="3" data-name="company_name" data-title="Enter Company Name">Learn web programming</a> <i class="fa fa-pencil"></i>
I want to show fa fa-pencil icon on hover only
Simple css can do the trick using adjacent sibling selector(+) and :hover. Also I've added slight variation in html that is wrapped by span for making symbol visible when it's hovers the icon.
a:hover +span+ i, /* when link is hovered select i */
a + span:hover+ i, /* when space after link is hovered select i */
a + span + i:hover { /* when icon is hovered select i */
visibility: visible;
}
a +span+ i { /* in all other case hide it */
visibility: hidden;
