How to make the text hidden in hover

Question

I am creating a menu that each item has a text and in hover an email replaces. So I do not know how to remove the text in hover.

here is my code so far:

#home {
    font: 30px 'LeagueGothicRegular', Arial, sans-serif;
    color: #f9f8cc;
}

#home:hover {
    background:url(style/images/icon/home.png) #FFF;
    background-size: 83px 56px;
}

Answer 1

You can not remove the text with css, but you can make the text invisible, by setting its color to transparent, so your css would be:

#home:hover {
   color: transparent;
   background:url(style/images/icon/home.png) #FFF; 
   background-size: 83px 56px; 
}

If you have layout problems with this solution, you could also wrap another div around the text, and then on :hover set the display of the div to none:

CSS

#home:hover .yourDivClassThatContainsText {
   display: none;
}

HTML

<div id="home">
   <div class="yourDivClassThatContainsText">
      Text Text TExt
   </div>
</div>
