Display Image On Text Link Hover CSS Only

Question

I have a text link  When the user hovers over the text link  I want an image to be displayed elsewhere on the page  I want to do this using css  I thought it could be done simply with a single line of code in the link like an onmouseover but it seems that requires other code elsewhere on the page   I tried using the a hover with the picture I want to show as a background-image but I don t think it can be manipulated to display in full instead of being clipped down to the size of the text link   I see hundreds of results when I try to search for this but none of them are what I want  The closest thing I found was this   http   www dynamicdrive com style csslibrary item css-image-gallery   But that s working with hovering over thumbnail images  I just want the user to hover over a single text link to have an image show on the page somewhere else  I found that gallery from this thread  Pop up image css link on hover  I don t want to deal with whatever that jquery is or too much scripts because I m more familiar with css  Does anyone know of a simple way to do this or is there still no way  not even with all the changes made for css3    Thanks

CSS isn t going to be able to call other elements like that  you ll need to use JavaScript to reach beyond a child or sibling selector   You could try something like this    lt a gt Some Link  lt div gt  lt img src   you image    gt  lt  div gt   lt  a gt    then     a gt div   display  none    a hover gt div   display  block

It is not possible to do this with just CSS alone  you will need to use Javascript     lt img src  default image jpg  id  image  width  100  height  100  alt      gt     lt a href  page html  onmouseover  document images  image   src  mouseover jpg    onmouseout  document images  image   src  default image jpg     gt Text lt  a gt
