Why isn't the hover working on child but parent?

I want some action to be performed when the child element .menuitems is hovered. Currently I've replaced the action with an alert to make it simple.
Now the problem is that when I use selector ("#result_row .menuitems"), nothing works. But if I use ("#result_row"), it works fine i.e., alert works.
Why is it so? It should work in both cases? I want the hover to work on child as well as grandchilds (.menu1).
Here's my code:
HTML
<div id="result_row"><div class="menuitems">
<div class="menu1">sfsdsf<span id="srno">4</span></div>
<div class="menu2">sfsdfs#saf</div>
<div class="menu3">sdfsdf<span id="cross">X</span></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.menuitems{
margin-bottom: 5px;
background: #007fad;
}
.resultmenu > .menuitems{
background: #004068;
}
.menuitems div{
background: #00aeef;
color: white;
font-family: sans-serif;
text-align: center;
font-size: 14px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
position: relative;
}
.menu1{
float: left;
width: 25%;
margin-right: 2px;
}
.menu2{
float: left;
width: 40.4%;
}
.menu3{
float: right;
width: 34%;
}
.clear{
clear: both;
padding: 0 !important;
}
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#result_row .menuitems").hover(function(){
//var tarparent=$(event.target).parent().find("#cross");
//$(tarparent).toggle();
alert("Hello");
});
});
NOTE: This code won't render fine as it is missing many other styles, parent elements etc. So I've put a screenshot to describe the problem.
Red rectangle is .result_row. Green is child, .menuitems.
EDIT:
If you want to know something else, here it is: when I use .menuitems:hover in CSS (not jQuery), the hover works.
EDIT2:
One more thing that can be important to you while answering is: The window "EMAIL" you're seing in this image is no loaded when open the main page(site). It is loaded only when I click a button on the page, and the content you're seeing in 2nd and 3rd row are loaded ALONG WITH IT, i.e., they're not static!

I entered everything you had into jsfiddle and it worked (hit F12 to see console.log)
https://jsfiddle.net/bLjmocza/
I also replaced
$("#result_row .menuitems").hover(function(){
with
$(".menuitems").hover(function(){
as that seemed to be more what you were trying to achieve in the first place

use this code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#result_row .menuitems").mouseover(function(){
alert("Hello");
});
});

Your problem is float in your CSS. See: http://wtfhtmlcss.com/#floats-computed-height.
The quick and diry fix ist to float the parent. But you are better off applying a clearfix to the parent. The added bonus is you can then get rid of your clear div.
Below is clearfix option:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#result_row .menuitems").hover(function(){
//var tarparent=$(event.target).parent().find("#cross");
//$(tarparent).toggle();
alert("Hello");
});
});
.menuitems{
margin-bottom: 5px;
background: #007fad;
}
.resultmenu > .menuitems{
background: #004068;
}
.menuitems div{
background: #00aeef;
color: white;
font-family: sans-serif;
text-align: center;
font-size: 14px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
position: relative;
}
.menu1{
float: left;
width: 25%;
margin-right: 2px;
}
.menu2{
float: left;
width: 40.4%;
}
.menu3{
float: right;
width: 34%;
}
.clearfix:after {
visibility: hidden;
display: block;
font-size: 0;
content: " ";
clear: both;
height: 0;
}
.clearfix { display: inline-block; }
/* start commented backslash hack \*/
* html .clearfix { height: 1%; }
.clearfix { display: block; }
/* close commented backslash hack */
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="result_row"><div class="menuitems clearfix">
<div class="menu1">sfsdsf<span id="srno">4</span></div>
<div class="menu2">sfsdfs#saf</div>
<div class="menu3">sdfsdf<span id="cross">X</span></div>
</div>
</div>

Updated: This won't work in jQuery 1.9 onwards!
http://api.jquery.com/on/#additional-notes. Use mouseenter/mouseleave instead
A second anser as this one addresses binding handlers to dynamic elements
As you are dynamically adding elements to the page you want to use jquery's on method
Change gour jquery to
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#result_row").on(".menuitems", "hover", function(){
//var tarparent=$(event.target).parent().find("#cross");
//$(tarparent).toggle();
alert("Hello");
});
});
The main difference is this will attatch the hover event handler any child of resultrow with a class of menuitems that exist now or that are added later.

Disable Anchor Within Hover Div on Mobile Until Open

I've searched high and low but can't find a solution to this exact problem.
On a desktop browser, when the user hovers over an image, a div appears and they can click the link within the div if they want. However, on a mobile device, the hover is triggered by a click. If the user clicks in just the right spot, even though the div isn't visible yet, they can accidentally click the anchor and navigate away from the page. (In other words, the div goes from display:none to display:block at the same time that the link is clicked.)
I want to prevent that accidental click from happening on mobile browsers, however I still want the link to be usable once the div is visible.
My code:
<style>
.staffpic {
position: relative;
width: 33.33333%;
height: auto;
}
.staffpic:hover .popup {
display: block;
}
.staffpic img {
display: block;
width: 110px;
height: 110px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.popup {
display:none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: -5px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 15px;
background-color: rgba(255, 153, 0, 0.9);
color: #fff;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
</style>
<div class="staffpic">
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg" />
<div class="popup">
John Smith, Director<br/>
CityName | Email John
</div>
</div>
Any ideas? HTML, CSS, JS and jQuery solutions are all welcome! (Maybe something more clever than what I can think of using pointer-events:none along with some jQuery?)

I'm actually about to encounter the same problem in a project, and jotted down a potential solution. Haven't tested it yet but it might help you out. The link should only trigger if the element has a display that's not 'none':
var popup = $('.popup'),
display = popup.css('display');
if (!(display === 'none')) {
popup.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
}

I found a solution but it's not elegant. I wanted to post it in case someone has this problem in the future and just needs something that will work!
I added a fake link in a span with the real link then set new display styles for it and the real link based on the parent span is being hovered over.
<style>
.staffpic {
position: relative;
width: 33.33333%;
height: auto;
}
.staffpic:hover .popup {
display: block;
}
.staffpic img {
display: block;
width: 110px;
height: 110px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.staffpic a {
display: none; /* Added */
}
.staffpic.link:hover a {
display: inline; /* Added */
}
.staffpic.link:hover .fakelink {
display: none; /* Added */
}
.popup {
display:none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: -5px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 15px;
background-color: rgba(255, 153, 0, 0.9);
color: #fff;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
</style>
<div class="staffpic">
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg" />
<div class="popup">
John Smith, Director<br/>
CityName | <span class="link">Email John<span class="fakelink">Email John</span></span>
</div>
</div>
I'd still love a cleaner solution without all this added html if someone has it.

Modify pseudo-element :after's width using javascript [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Selecting and manipulating CSS pseudo-elements such as ::before and ::after using javascript (or jQuery)
(26 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
Markup:
<h1 class="title">Hello World</h1>
CSS:
.title {
border-bottom: 3px solid #aaa;
position: relative;
}
.title:after {
content: "";
width: 100px;
border-bottom: 3px solid red;
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
Demo: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/HDBqe
I wanted to change the .title:after's width based on the text's width, how do I change :after's width using javascript?
$.fn.textWidth = function(){
var html_org = $(this).html();
var html_calc = '<span>' + html_org + '</span>';
$(this).html(html_calc);
var width = $(this).find('span:first').width();
$(this).html(html_org);
return width;
};
$('.title').each(function(){
// Change :after's width based on the text's width
// .css('width', $(this).textWidth());
});

I've found a trick which works in this case. I've updated your demo:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/bHLtk
.title {
border-bottom: 3px solid #aaa;
position: relative;
min-width: 100%;
}
.title:after {
content: "";
width: inherit;
border-bottom: 3px solid red;
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
Notice, that .title:after has width set to inherit but his parent (.title) has overridden width with min-width. Now I can freely to set width by JavaScript to title and it take effect only on his nested pseudoelement:
$('.title').each(function(){
$(this).css('width', $(this).textWidth());
});

A pseudo-element is not part of the DOM. Therefore, you cannot change its CSS properties directly through JS.
In order to get your desired effect the way you want it, my best guess would be YUI.StyleSheet and manipulate the stylesheet itself, although I have to admit I haven't tested it myself in recent years.
Including such a utility and doing all of this calculation seems like a lot of work for width matching.
If you are willing to compromise a little bit on the semantic HTML, there is a working technique:
Your element takes the entire width of the screen. Wrapping the text with a span and adding the pseudo-element to that, as an inline-block should allow you to get the border under the text only
HTML:
<h1 class="title"><span>Hello World</span></h1>
CSS:
.title {
border-bottom: 3px solid #aaa;
position: relative;
}
.title span{
display:inline-block;
position:relative;
}
.title span:after {
content: "";
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 3px solid red;
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
Here is my version of the codePen.
For future reference:
There is a W3C Candidate Recommendation that suggests the capability of using attributes for CSS properties other than content.
This way, if and when the recommendation is approved and implemented, it might be possible to have the pseudo-element reflect the parent's attributes, as such:
this.setAttribute("length", $(this).textWidth());
And the relevant CSS:
.title:after {
...
width: attr(length px);
...
}

How's this for a different approach.... http://jsfiddle.net/mayYt/
Added CSS
.title span {
border-bottom: 3px solid red;
}
JQuery
$('.title').wrapInner('<span />');

With just a simple trick any pseudo-element can be changed (or at least replaced with something else):
$('.something').click(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('to_show');
});
.something
{
background: red;
height: 40px;
width: 120px;
position: relative;
}
.something.to_show:after
{
content: "X";
color: white;
background: green;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
.something:after
{
content: "O";
color: white;
background: blue;
width: 30px;
height: 25px;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

border-radius + overflow:hidden when animating with jQuery

Check this jsFiddle.
The orange bar is serving as a progress bar where the value under the circle is how high the progress bar should be.
Any idea why the overflow:hidden; is beeing disregarded and how do one solve this problem? Oblviously nothing should go outside the circle.
Also is there a better solution for this?

Modified your fiddle a little bit. Here is the link
Modifications:
Changed .outerContainer css to display:block from display:table and addedmargin-top:30px to p css
Check if this works for you.

position: absolute and overflow: hidden don't appear to be playing nicely with display: table/table-cell. Removing the table stuff you had in there to vertically center the text fixes the problem. In Firefox, at least.

I think it's the browser thing...
This is the CSS3 version...
.progressBar {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: #ec6730;
transition: height 1s;
}
.innerContainer:hover > .progressBar {
height: 300px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/ZyhgT/2/
It no longer flashing 'cause browser handle the job (not js loop animation...). But still it shows the edge on animation finish!!! This could be the browser things... Could be a bug...

This is not related to jQuery or any javascript. In fact, if you delete all your javascript and manipulate the height of your .progressBar using css on li:hover, you will notice the bug anyway.
It appears to be a browser issue as reported on: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=157218
As a workaround try adding an imperceptible css transform to the mask element:
.outerContainer {
-webkit-transform: rotate(0.000001deg);
}

You just need to change your .outerContainer class and it works just fine!
.outerContainer {
position: relative;
display: block;
height: 96px;
width: 96px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #fff;
border: 2px solid #fff;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
}

Put the level class inside the outerContainer div and style the span inside the level class to be relatively positioned. In the JavaScript, to calculate the level, divide by 10 instead of 100 for the perfect circular hover effect.
Here is a fiddle.
HTML
<div class="outerContainer">
<div class="innerContainer">
<p>Circle 3</p>
<span class="progressBar"></span>
</div>
<div class="level"><span>75</span>
</div>
</div>
CSS
body {
background: blue;
}
#circles {
text-align: center;
margin: 100px 0;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 10px;
position: relative;
}
.outerContainer {
position: relative;
display: block;
height: 96px;
width: 96px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #fff;
border: 2px solid #fff;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
}
.innerContainer {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
p {
color: #000;
width: 96px;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
}
.progressBar {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: #ec6730;
}
.level span{
position:relative;
}
JS
$(function() {
$("#circles li").hover(function(){
var thisElement = $(this);
var level = $(this).find(".level").text();
var elementHeight = $(this).find(".outerContainer").height();
level = (level/10)*elementHeight;
$(thisElement).find(".progressBar").stop().animate({
height: level
}, 300);
}, function() {
var thisElement = $(this);
$(".progressBar").stop().animate({
height: 0
}, 300);
});
});

display: table doesn't work that good with CSS positioning;
you should avoid using that, and find some other way to vertically center your labels.
If your circles have a known height, like your code seems to indicate (height:96px ecc), then just use a fixed top position for an absolutely positioned <p> element:
http://jsfiddle.net/ZyhgT/5/
Note that you don't even need jQuery for this, it is all achievable with just CSS3 (unless you are targeting old browsers)

Help with Mootools Gallery - Transition text

I'm not sure if what i want is possible but i'm using a Mootools image gallery which you can see an example of here:
</script>
function startGallery() {
var myGallery = new gallery($('myGallery'), {
timed: true,
showArrows: false,
showCarousel: false
});
}
window.addEvent('domready', startGallery);
</script>
The gallery rotation is above but what i'd like to achieve, ideally, is the second text element (with the white background) to be wider than the top text element, so it looks more like the picture underneath.
There's a lot of Javascript involved so i don't know what i should post here to enable people to help, but just let me know what i should put in here and i'll come back and edit.
Or, if some knows of somethign similar in jQuery which would allow me to get the same effect, but not require too much JS coding, i'd be much obliged.
Thanks in advance as always,
Dan

Try this css and see if its what your after.
.slideInfoZone {
position: absolute;
z-index: 10;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
left: 0;
top:40px;
color: #FFF;
text-indent: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 10px 0 0 20px;
height: 70px;
}
.slideInfoZone h3{
background: #000;
width: 200px;
padding: 30px;
margin-left: -30px;
display:inline;
}
.slideInfoZone p {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
background: #FFF;
font-size: 14px;
color: #000;
margin: 20px 0 0 -20px;
padding: 10px 0 10px 20px;
width: 50%;
}
Basically what I did was remove your background color for the containing element, then I gave the p tag a bg color, and modified the padding/margin for the h3. Im not too happy with what I had to do with the h3 but without changing the markup at all it works.
