Show div on hover with CSS

Question

I would like to show a hidden div "delete-button" contained within the div "post-wrap", when I hover over it (#post-wrap). How Can I do this with CSS?

Here is what I have done so far: http://jsfiddle.net/ksvrY/2/

#delete-button{
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
top: 10px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
height: 30px;
width: 225px;
overflow: auto;
}

See: http://jsfiddle.net/ksvrY/4/

   #post-wrap:hover #delete-button{
        display:inherit;
    }

also hide the button:

#delete-button{
        display:none;
    }

This will work:

#post-wrap:hover #delete-button { 
     display:block;    
}

#delete-button { display:none; }

...and if you wanna get nice with it (append necessary vendor-prefixes as appropriate):

#post-wrap:hover #delete-button { 
     opacity:1;    
}

#delete-button { -webkit-transition:all 1s ease-in; opacity:0; }

use hover

http://jsfiddle.net/Ptxfy/

#post-wrap:hover #delete-button { 
     display:block;    
}

#delete-button { display:none; }

I would not use the direct child selector as it is not necessary and can lead to problems down the road.

I appreciate it isn't necessary (since it's an ID), but out of curiosity, what problems are you referring to? – Nirvana Tikku Jan 24 '13 at 22:24
you could end up packing the button in a wrapper, or some js might do that and then it isnt a direct child anymore. – user1721135 Jan 24 '13 at 22:27
Ah, from a maintainability stand point; thats fair. Considering that the CSS is using an ID, my rationale when writing it was: direct child with an **ID** wouldn't suffer from such a refactor. – Nirvana Tikku Jan 24 '13 at 22:30

yes thats the rationale. Also some tribesman in the jungle might be viewing the website on IE6 and then it wont work ;) – user1721135 Jan 24 '13 at 22:32
