About This

Show content on hover without pushing the content down. Usually this requires 2 text elements but with this you can keep just the 1 text element. No matter how long the text nor where you want it to stop at.

*Since this is a hover-element, it is Desktop only.

HTML code

The setup is just a row with columns and a icon-box in each column. Important is the hover-show class. We use it to limit the styling to this specific row of elements.

Inside the text you will notice a bit of custom HTML: <div class="ellipsis"> </div>. This element makes the text fade. It is an optional element but makes it visually more inviting to hover.

For the container hover we use the <p> tag. This means that if you have more paragraphs, you will have to use a container around it and adjust the CSS accordingly.

[row label="Desktop" h_align="center" class="hover-show" visibility="hide-for-medium"]

[col span="4" span__sm="12" span__md="6" bg_color="rgb(255,255,255)" bg_radius="10" depth="2"]

The CSS

Use the CSS to set the height of the container so you can decide on how much text you will be showing.

.hover-show .icon-box{
    padding-top:20px;
    padding-bottom:20px;
}
.hover-show .icon-box .icon-box-text{
    position: relative;
height: 123px; /* Adjust to needs */
}
.hover-show .icon-box .icon-box-text p{
    position: absolute;
max-height: 81px; /* Adjust to needs */
overflow: hidden;
    width:100%;
    padding:0 20px 20px;
    border-radius: 0 0 10px 10px;
}
.hover-show .icon-box .icon-box-text .ellipsis{
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    width:95%;
    height:30px;
    background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(255,255,255,0.2) 10%, #fff 90%);
    opacity:1;
}
.hover-show .col:hover .box-shadow-2{
    box-shadow: 2px 34px 25px -5px rgba(0,0,0,.36);
    z-index:9;
}
.hover-show .icon-box:hover .icon-box-text p{
    max-height:500px; /* Adjust to needs (generally no higher than 600px) */
    background: #fff; 
    box-shadow: 2px 34px 25px -5px rgba(0,0,0,.36);
    transition: all 0.5s ease;
}
.hover-show .icon-box:hover .ellipsis{
    opacity:0;
}
