Hello everyone

I am brand new to elements. I downloaded and installed about a week ago, and so far so good. But, I am trying to show an image, and when you hover over it, it reveals the same image, however, the second image will have text (a few words) on it describing things in more detail? I already have both images ready to go, I just don’t know how to do it.

thanks

You have multiple ways of doing this. You could do it with a container or a button. They both have the ability to set at image on the background, and an alternative one when you hover ☺

Let me know if you need any more info or help with this.

If you have some money to spend have a look at card flip in store this is cool!

thank you both. I was able to do some things with the container and hover settings. however, it was not quite what I had in mind. It played with sizing and spacing. But, at least I know a little more going forward. Card flip seem to do the trick, thanks
