I don’t understand why my anchor hover isn’t causing the div box below to turn yellow. Here’s my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
a {background-color:Blue; width:400px; height:200px;}
#hide { width:500px; height:500px;background-color:black; }
a:hover #hide {background-color:yellow; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a>hover</a>
<div id="hide">turn yellow</div>
</body>
</html>
