Tailwind CSS Hover State Conflicts

This repository demonstrates a common issue encountered when using Tailwind CSS hover states: unintended style application due to class name collisions.

Bug Description

When applying a hover state using Tailwind's hover: modifier, unexpected styling might be applied to other elements if those elements share the same class names as the hover styles.

How to reproduce the bug

1. Clone this repository.
2. Open index.html in your browser.
3. Notice that when you hover over the button, both the button and the div below get the same hover styles.

Solution

The best solution is to use more specific class names to avoid naming collisions. Add unique identifiers, making the class names more targeted. For Example, rather than applying bg-blue-700 to both the base state and the hover state, create separate class names for each state.
