</g>
</svg>
</div>

and css

path{
    fill:none;
    stroke:black;
}
path:hover{
    fill:red;
    stroke:blue;
}

Here is the fiddle, just hover them quickly.

Answer 1

There's no fill so the interior does not catch mouse events by default and therefore hover doesn't react to that. Changing pointer-events to all will fix it in this case:

path{
    fill:none;
    stroke:black;
    pointer-events:all;
}
