Tailwind CSS Hover State Not Working

This repository demonstrates a common issue encountered when using Tailwind CSS hover states. The hover effect doesn't apply as expected even though the classes appear to be correctly implemented.

Bug Description

The provided code snippet uses the hover:bg-blue-700 class to change the background color of a div on hover. However, the expected color change does not occur. This is a common error which can be caused by a number of factors, including CSS specificity issues, conflicting styles, or incorrect class usage.

Solution

The solution typically involves verifying the following:

1. Correct Class Usage: Double-check the class names for any typos.
2. CSS Specificity: Ensure that other CSS rules are not overriding the hover styles. Inspect the element's styles using your browser's developer tools.
3. Parent Styles: Review parent elements' styles for potentially conflicting rules.
4. JavaScript Interference: Confirm that no JavaScript code is interfering with the styles.
5. Tailwind Configuration: Check if the hover modifier is enabled in your Tailwind configuration.
6. CSS Order: Ensure that your CSS is loaded in the correct order (Tailwind should typically be loaded last).
7. Purge and rebuild: In some cases, particularly if using PurgeCSS, a rebuild might be needed to reflect the changes.

The solution file includes an example of how to address this issue.
