navigation that changes images on hover

[lional]

Hi

I am trying to write a script that changes the background based on a navigation hover and I have got that part right.

What I would like to further do is when I move off the navigation bar it remembers the last image, if this makes sense.

 

Here is my code so far

  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <a href="#">Home</a>
        <img src="pic2.jpg" alt="">
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="#">About</a>
        <img src="pic3.jpg" alt="">
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="#">Clients</a>
        <img src="pic4.jpg" alt="">
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="#">Work</a>
        <img src="pic5.jpg" alt="">
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="#">Contact</a>
        <img src="pic6.jpg" alt="">
      </li>
    </ul>
  </nav>

  <img src="pic1.jpg" alt="">
</div>

and the css

.container {
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 100px auto;
  width: 800px;
  height: 500px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}
.container img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: -60;
}

.container li img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 800px;
  z-index: -50;
  -webkit-transition: all 1s ease;
  -moz-transition: all 1s ease;
  -o-transition: all 1s ease;
  -ms-transition: all 1s ease;
  transition: all 1s ease;
}
nav {
  width: 170px;
  height: 500px;
  background: #fff;
}
nav h1 {
  padding: 20px;
  color: #ccc;
  text-align: right;
  font: 25px Georgia, Times, serif;
}

ul {
  width: 800px;
  height: 500px;
  list-style: none;
}
li a {
  z-index: 1;
  display: block;
  padding-left: 20px;
  width: 150px;
  height: 30px;
  background: white;
  color: #444;
  text-decoration: none;
  font: 14px/30px Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
}

li:nth-child(1) {
  padding-top: 50px;
}
li a:hover {
  background: #eee;
}

li a:hover + img {
  left: 0px;
}

I think I would need javascript in here somehow. I am a newbie at javascript so if someone can point me in teh right direction it would be much appreciated.

You can just use the .hover() function in jQuery.  You can also set an attribute like data-bg if you want to set a different background for each element you're hovering.  You would have something like ...
