link hover change parent element style;

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 23.2020

So I have an unordered list, with list items containing hyperlink tags

“`
<ul>
<li>
<a href=”#”>Tag</a>
</li>
<ul>
“`

On my LI tag, I have a border bottom set to the background color.

When my link is hovered I want to change the color of it?

How do I change the previous elements style?

“`
ul li a:hover{
text-decoration: none;
color: #Blue;
}

ul li a:hover li{
border-bottom: solid 5px #Green;
}

“`

@NogDogNov 24.2020 — Pending one of the CSS experts here coming up with a clever solution I don't know, would it make any sense to do all the styling on the a element (and just have the li element there for syntax with 0 padding)?

@abdlimranNov 24.2020 — Hi! You can't use or apply the hover effect on a child to the parent element, it's not supported by the CSS. You can only use the parent to chilled hovering.
