Need help with a hover statement in SCSS/CSS

Hi, on http://dev2.magickitchen.com, I have orange down arrows on the main nav.

I want that to turn white on hover. The scss code I have for it is:

.site-header .navbar span.glyphicon-menu-down-orange:before {
content: url(../img/arrow-small-pale-orange.svg);
}

So I was trying:
.site-header .navbar span.glyphicon-menu-down-orange:before {
content: url(../img/arrow-small-pale-orange.svg);

&:hover {
content: url(../img/arrow-small-white.svg);
}
}

But that didn't work. I sense I am close though. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

There are several options you could do. First you could change your html, but the easiset might be to use some javascript. If you could on hover change the css the css completely so that you are still using your same css but without the hover state in the css.

I'd rather not have to use jquery, isn't there just some CSS I could add? What I was trying to do in my example was add a class on hover that changed the color of the arrow. (Actually changes the image).

You already try? I wasn't really thinking but I thought that works

site-header .navbar span.glyphicon-menu-down-orange:hover:before {
    content: url(../img/arrow-small-white.svg);
}

Open in new window

I am pretty sure it works if you put the hover first.

You're right, that worked! Thanks, I was going about it wrong. But there's something else; look here: https://www.magickitchen.com

The arrow is tied into the word, so if you hover over the word, the arrow changes as well. But it doesn't on the http://dev2.magickitchen.com/.

Any idea why? I'll see if I can figure it out as well.
