JQuery show/hide when hover

Question

I have three links, Cat, Dog, Snakes. When I hover over each, the content relating to each link should change.

So if i hover over cat, then cat content will appear, if i hover over dog the cat content will smoothly disappear and the dog content will appear... and so on.

Links are: Dog   Cat  Snake

<div>
  <span style="display:none;"> Cat Content</span>
  <span style="display:none;"> Dog Content</span>
  <span style="display:none;"> Snake Content</span>    
</div>

How do I get this to be full blown working, with some smooth fading?

Solution 1

('.cat').hover(
  function () {
    $(this).show();
  }, 
  function () {
    $(this).hide();
  }
);

It's the same for the others.

For the smooth fade in you can use fadeIn and fadeOut

I hope my script help you.

<i class="mostrar-producto">mostrar...</i>
<div class="producto" style="display:none;position: absolute;">Producto</div>

My script

<script>
$(".mostrar-producto").mouseover(function(){
     $(".producto").fadeIn();
 });

 $(".mostrar-producto").mouseleave(function(){
      $(".producto").fadeOut();
  });
</script>

Since you're using jQuery, you just need to attach to some specific events and some pre defined animations:

$('#cat').hover(function()
{
     // Mouse Over Callback
}, function()
{ 
     // Mouse Leave callback
});

Then, to do the animation, you simply need to call the fadeOut / fadeIn animations:

$('#dog').fadeOut(750 /* Animation Time */, function()
{
    // animation complete callback
     $('#cat').fadeIn(750);
});

Combining the two together, you would simply insert the animations in the hover callbacks (something like so, use this as a reference point):

$('#cat').hover(function()
{
     if($('#dog').is(':visible'))
        $('#dog').fadeOut(750 /* Animation Time */, function()
     {
        // animation complete callback
         $('#cat').fadeIn(750);
     });
}, function()
{ 
     // Mouse Leave callback
});
