:hover not working

Question

:hover is not working when applied to my styles:

http://jsfiddle.net/E9DXJ/

<nav>
<div class="container">
    <div class="row-fluid center">
        <div id="navcontainerimg" class="span12 center">
            <img src="img/hs-header.png"/>
        </div>
        <div id="navcontainernav" class="span12 center">
            <span class="topleft">Our Story</span>
            <span class="topright">Awesome Support!</span>
            <span class="bottomleft">Read the Blog!</span>
            <span class="bottomright">Join Now</span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

The classes can be styled without the :hover, but when added it does nothing. If I click the :hover style display in chrome it will show it there, but not functional.

Answer 1

This is because you've set a negative z-index for the container so Chrome essentially won't recognise the hover events.

Change it to:

#navcontainernav    
{
    width: 720px;
    margin-left: 40px;
    height: 170px;
    top: -233px;
    border-radius: 8px;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
}

Or any other positive value.
