show/hide a div on hover and hover out

Question

I would like to show and hide a div during hover and hover out.

here's what I've done lately.

css

$("#menu").hover(function() {
  $('.flyout').removeClass('hidden');
}, function() {
  $('.flyout').addClass('hidden');
});

.flyout {
  position: absolute;
  width: 1000px;
  height: 450px;
  background: red;
  overflow: hidden;
  z-index: 10000;
}

.hidden {
  visibility: hidden;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="menu" class="margint10 round-border">
  <a href="#"><img src="images/menu.jpg" alt="" id="menu_link" /></a>
</div>
<div class="flyout hidden">&nbsp;</div>

My problem is that when I hover on the menu id, the flyout div is blinking. why is that?

Solution 1

May be there no need for JS. You can achieve this with css also. Write like this:

.flyout {
    position: absolute;
    width: 1000px;
    height: 450px;
    background: red;
    overflow: hidden;
    z-index: 10000;
    display: none;
}
#menu:hover + .flyout {
    display: block;
}

Solution 2

Why not just use .show()/.hide() instead?

$("#menu").hover(function(){
    $('.flyout').show();
},function(){
    $('.flyout').hide();
});

Here are different method of doing this. And i found your code is even working fine.

Your code: http://jsfiddle.net/NKC2j/

Jquery toggle class demo: http://jsfiddle.net/NKC2j/2/

Jquery fade toggle: http://jsfiddle.net/NKC2j/3/

Jquery slide toggle: http://jsfiddle.net/NKC2j/4/

And you can do this with CSS as answered by Sandeep

I found using css opacity is better for a simple show/hide hover, and you can add css3 transitions to make a nice finished hover effect. The transitions will just be dropped by older IE browsers, so it degrades gracefully to.

JS fiddle Demo

CSS

#stuff {
    opacity: 0.0;
    -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: all 500ms ease-in-out;
    -ms-transition: all 500ms ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: all 500ms ease-in-out;
    transition: all 500ms ease-in-out;
}
#hover {
    width:80px;
    height:20px;
    background-color:green;
    margin-bottom:15px;
}
#hover:hover + #stuff {
    opacity: 1.0;
}

HTML

<div id="hover">Hover</div>
<div id="stuff">stuff</div>

Solution 5

<script type="text/javascript">
    var IdAry=['reports1'];
    window.onload=function() {
     for (var zxc0=0;zxc0<IdAry.length;zxc0++){
      var el=document.getElementById(IdAry[zxc0]);
      if (el){
       el.onmouseover=function() {
         changeText(this,'hide','show')
        }
       el.onmouseout=function() {
         changeText(this,'show','hide');
        }
      }
     }
    }
    function changeText(obj,cl1,cl2) {
       obj.getElementsByTagName('SPAN')[0].className=cl1;
       obj.getElementsByTagName('SPAN')[1].className=cl2;
    }
</script>

ur html should look like this

<p id="reports1">
                <span id="span1">Test Content</span>
                <span class="hide">

                    <br /> <br /> This is the content that appears when u hover on the it
                </span>
            </p>

@nnnnnn show/hide use display instead of visibility, the difference is visibility will still take hold place while display doesn't. The op code may be affected by other of his html code.

Sure, I understand the difference between display and visibility - I meant why would the OP's code cause any blinking but yours wouldn't? (I prefer your solution, but I don't see why it would help.)

can you explain + .flyout{ ?

it's called Adjacent sibling combinator. For more read this w3.org/wiki/CSS/Selectors/combinators/adjacent

display:inline-block to get the element to appear in flow order.
