Help with social icons - CSS

Hi guys,

Im re-designing my portfolio website and have just added my social icons however when i hover over one of them...all four appear. Could someone take a look at my source and tell me where I'm going wrong. I need them to appear individually when i hover over them.

http://portfoliosdk.esy.es Thanks in advance.

Shaun

Looking at your html, I'm sure the main problem is that all of your links are encapsulated in the one 'social-icons' div. I'm sure the CSS and/or Javascript will be setup for that div to move on hover, bringing all of its contents (your links) with it.

Hi mate,

Im not following. I have the CSS set up individually for each social icon. The only CSS i have set up for the 'social-icons' div is positioning so i don't understand why they are being grouped.

Hello shaun, why not do something like this.

social-icons a {

display: block; }

social-icons a:hover > #email {

margin-right: 0px;

}

social-icons a:hover > #treehouse {

margin-right: 0px;

}

and so on

You can also use javascript "this".
