css selectors - Can I use CSS :hover to effect another elements properties? -

i attempting change text links properties (different colour , text-decoration:underline;) when hovering on corresponding image.

this html:

<!-- wraps image, title, category -->                 <div class="itemwrap">                     <!-- item image -->                     <a href="#" class="itemimagelink"><img class="itemimage" src="img/thumb.png" alt="thumb"></a>                     <!-- item title -->                     <div class="itemtitle">                         <a href="#">the original soul of michael jackson</a>                     </div>                     <!-- item category -->                     <div class="itemcat">                         <a href="#">12" picture disc</a>                     </div>                 </div><!-- close itemwrap --> 

is possible when hovering on itemimage (which encased in anchor) properties of link within .itemtitle can changed?

it might worth noting itemwrap used multiple times on webpage.

thanks

you can use :hover anywhere in compound selector, if can select elements want change while including :hover, yes.

in case, can't itemimage because involves backtracking dom, can itemimagelink, instance:

.itemimagelink:hover ~ .itemtitle {     ... }
