I doubt you will ever get it working without any script, it's not what CSS is meant to do.

Yes, I thought there might be some :hover trickery that could conceivably do it. However, I could not figure out how you'd modify the style of an element from the :hover pseudoclass belonging to another. Did you get this to work?

Even if it is possible, I wouldn't think it sensible. While it would be appropriate to describe the visible and invisible styles of the child

using CSS, it is the scripting language's business to trigger the switch from an event in the parent.

You haven't said why you want to avoid scripting.

You can't avoid scripting, as far as I'm aware. Certainly you shouldn't be able to, as neither XHTML nor CSS have any semantically sensible means of achieving this. Scripting is supposed to handle it.

Why are you averse to JS?

(You could use Flash -- that's scripting too.)
