What is the best method to make one div disappear by hovering over another.

with the code provided below, when I used .icon:hover + .info { display:none) It just displays that div underneath rather than making it disappear. I’m unsure whether the placements of the divs in the html are affecting this or a mistake I could of made in the css

.profile-container {
  background: #000;
  height: 400px;
}

.profile-info-box {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0px;
  height: 60px;
  width: 100%;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
}

.info {
  position: relative;
  width: 80%;
  padding: 1.6% 6%;
  float: left;
  color: #000;
  background: #fff;
}

.twitter {
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  width: 25%;
}

.google {
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  width: 25%;
}

.linkedin {
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  width: 25%;
}

.facebook {
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  width: 25%;
}

.icon {
  position: relative;
  width: 20%;
  background: #d00009;
  float: left;
  padding: 20px;
  z-index: 999;
  color: #fff;
}

.icon:hover+.info {
  display: none;
}

.social i {
  padding: 15px;
}

fa fa-share-alt {
  color: #333!important;
}

.icon:hover+.social {
  display: block;
}

.icon:hover+.social {
  display: block!important;
}

.icon:hover {
  background: #fff;
  color: #d00009;
}

.social {
  display: none;
  position: relative;
  width: 80%;
  padding: 3% 6%;
  float: left;
  color: #fff;
  background: #d00009;
}

Since .info is not a direct sibling of .icon, the selector .icon:hover + .info will return an empty set. What you want is a general sibling selector, i.e. ~:

.icon:hover ~ .info {
  display: none;
}

Note that since CSS is cascading in nature, the sibling selectors + and ~ will only work when the sibling comes after the element. In your case it will work, but if you want to select a previous sibling, that is not possible using CSS.

You’re on the right track in terms of html and css selectors. What you’re missing is the correct selector.

+ is used to select the immediate sibling of the element. What you are after is ~ which will select any matching sibling.

For example .a + .b will ONLY match the next element in the dom IF it has the class “b”, whereas .a ~ .b will match ANY sibling element in the dom if it has the class “b”.

As such, I’ve changed your selector to:

.icon:hover~.info {
  display: none;
}

Edit

It is possible to specify multiple selectors to apply a rule to. To do this, you separate the selectors with a comma. I have tweaked the following selectors:

.icon:hover~.info

and

.icon:hover+.social

.icon:hover~.info, .social:hover~.info

and

.icon:hover+.social, .social:hover

As you are no longer hovering over .icon it turns back to red. Without altering the html (or adding javascript) there is nothing you can do to fix that.
