Okay I have two images for a facebook icon. One image is a dark color for the normal state and the other is a blue color for when you hover over it. How do I code it so when I hover over the image it switches from the dark to the blue color?
This is what I have so far but all it does is turn the opacity down for the dark image and you don't see the blue image.
Html:
<div id="facebook_swap">
<img src="img/facebook_dark.png" alt="facebook">
</div>
css:
#facebook_swap{
width:32px;
height:32px;
background-image:url("img/facebook_active.png");
}
#facebook_swap img:hover{
opacity:0;
}

Check out this codepen I did using your code as a base, and see if you don't see a difference. I can't figure it out yet. So it must be something small that is causing it to not work.
