selecting invisible or undisplayed items in mouseover event.

Posted 07 October 2012 - 05:01 PM

Very simplistic code. It's more or less the same thing facebook has on its picture viewer, with an arrow on the left and right that fade in when you mouseover. The only difference in mine is that it will fade in when you mouseover the next button itself
Essentially, the problem I'm having is that when I set the display to none in the CSS sheet for the button class, it then disables my ability to mouseover it in JQuery. I tested this with alert() quite a few times.

JQuery code:
 $(document).ready(function() {
	$('.button').hide();
	$('.button').mousemove(function() {
		$('.button').show();
	});
});


HTML:
<!-- art gallery -->
<HTML lang="en">
<HEAD>
	<meta charset="utf-8" \>
	<title>Gallery</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="gallery_stylesheet.css">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
	<div id="wrapper">
		<div id="prev_button" class="button">
		</div>
		<div id="picture">
		</div>
		<div id="next_button" class="button">
		</div>
	</div>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="js/gallery.js"></script>
</BODY>
</HTML>


CSS:
#wrapper {
	height: 90%;
	width: 90%;
	border: 3px solid black;
	border-style: outset;
	margin: 10px 5%;
}
#next_button {
	float: right;
}
#prev_button {
	float: left;
}
.button {
	border: 1px solid blue;
	width: 125px;
	height: 100%;
	background: blue;
}

Hellos!

I could be wrong but I don't think you can interact with an invisible div like that. However, you could change the opacity around. Something like this might work;

$(document).ready(function() {
$('.button').fadeTo(1,0); //set invisible on load
		
$('.button').hover(function() {
    $(this).fadeTo(1,1); //display on hover
    },function() {
        $(this).fadeTo(1,0); //back to hidden on mouse out
    });
});


Hope this helps.
