How to set CSS hover effect, on parent and child elements

Question

Let's say i have the following code:

<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="title"></div>
  <div></div>
</div>

<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="title"></div>
  <div></div>
</div>

<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="title"></div>
  <div></div>
</div>

On hover for a wrapper I want it's child title div to change it's background color. Can I do this in pure css. In js I know how to do it. I'm interested if a pure CSS method exists for this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this. It's just:

.wrapper:hover .title {
  background-color: #f00;
}

EDIT:
Please note that IE6 recognizes :hover only on a-elements, so this won't work - but i hope you don't have to mess with that crappy old thing.

Answer 2

what about this?

.wrapper:hover .title {
    background-color: blue;
}
