How to display an element on hover?
Answer: We can display an element on hover using :hover pseudo-class
The CSS :hover is a pseudo-class that triggers the HTML element when the mouse or cursor hovers it. We can use this : hover class and make an HTML element visible only when the cursor points to the element else the element will be invisible.
To display the element on hover, make them invisible by default using display: none property. Then add :hoverdisplay: block to make it visible on hover.
