How can I make the hoover area just the immediate surroundings of the "li" items?

I guess this is more a CSS related question, probably using the "event.target.style" proprety and eventually "event.target.style.display", but I would like that the hoover are would be just the surroundings of the li. Currently, if I hoover in the same line of the "li" but really in the right side of the page, it still triggers the event.

Also, it should be inside the if statement of the code:

listDiv.addEventListener('mouseover', (event) => { if (event.target.tagName == 'LI') { event.target.textContent = event.target.textContent.toUpperCase(); } });

correct?

Not really sure what you are trying to accomplish? LI elements are display block and that means that they take up the entire width of their parent element.

Here's a Pen to experiment with that might help. Please notice the background colors to show the actual element.

Also, I used span elements to target just the text. That's just one possible approach.
