Making flip effect on hover, on blur go fade with CSS + jQuery

I have to do something like pexeso. When you hover element, it will flip front to back side (they have different texts) and when your mouse is out, it will fade from back to front side. This is example HTML, how it looks like:
<div class="pexeso">
<div class="pad">
<div class="front">1</div>
<div class="back">ONE</div>
</div>
etc...
There is some CSS, to look it well (it is in the jsFiddle source, attached bellow). Then Handling mouse enter and leave with jQuery:
$('.pexeso .pad').each(function() {
var el = $(this);
var back = el.find('.back');
el.on('mouseenter', function() {
back.removeAttr('style');
el.removeClass('before-fade').addClass('do-flip');
});
el.on('mouseleave', function() {
el.removeClass('do-flip').addClass('before-fade');
back.stop(true, true).fadeOut(250, function() {
el.removeClass('before-fade');
});
});
});
Here is full example in jsFiddle: DEMO
Try to hover any element from left or right side of your screen, it will works great. But now try to hover from top or bottom, it will do weird things to graphic and also, sometimes it stucks and remains invisible.
Probably know the problem: When you hover from top or bottom, it will start flipping, and when you are too slow, it also fires event mouseleave, because flipping is in progress and you are actually at empty space. Then it calls 1st function, then second, a lot of time and it got stuck. But I don't know how to fix it, can you help me?

Ok guys, don't try anymore, I already found a solution. Whoever is interested, how I fixed it, here is solution:
In CSS, make .back element always visible, so find this line &.do-flip { and add this style .back { display: block !important; }
In jQuery, there is no need to have back.removeAttr('style');, also this did mess with opacity style (fading effect)
Now wrap every "pad" with parent, for example .pad-container and give him exact sizes as .pads, now we will manipulate with him
Each function will take these wrappers, not "pads", so in jQuery $('.pexeso .pad-container').each(function() {...
Bind events mouseenter and mouseleave on this wrapper, but changing classes remain on "pads" and fadeOut effect on back element. Also, add function .show() to this back element before fadeOut.
That's all. Here is updated version: UPDATED DEMO

Content box on image hover?

I have a bunch of images in a gallery on a new website im building and Im wanting to have content displayed when a user hovers over an image.
For example if a user hovered over a picture of a car in my gallery then a low opacity content div would fade over the entire image to show text and maybe a link.
I presume this effect could be done with a bit of JS or even CSS Transitions to give the fade.
I just need to know how to make a content box appear over the image on hover, possibly at 80% opacity.
Heres an example of what I have in mind:
Thanks for the help, if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
I can post more information if needed.

This is somewhat simple way of implementing a hover show and hide with jquery.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/va2B8/2/
jQuery ( http://jquery.com/ ):
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#Invisible").hide()
$("#hoverElement").hover(
function () {
$('#Invisible').stop().fadeTo("slow", 0.33);
},
function () {
$('#Invisible').stop().fadeOut("slow");
}
);
});
html:
<p id="hoverElement">This little piggy will show the invisible div.</p>
<div id="Invisible">This is the content of invisible div.</div>
css:
#Invisible { background: #222; color: #fff; }
Edit: I changed url for the working example cause i forgot to fade out on mouse out.
Edit2: Changed url again and changed the code cause i had some extra code there.. plus i thought that i might as well add those two .stop() in there so that it stops the animation If the mouse over or mouse out occurs while animation is going on.
( Without the stops one could hover in and out several times and then when he would stop, the animation would still keep going till it has done each animation as many times as he triggered it. You can test that in here http://jsfiddle.net/va2B8/1/ )

You can start using this fiddle :
http://jsfiddle.net/Christophe/2RN6E/3/
1 div containing image and span like :
<div class="image-hover">
<img src="" />
<span class="desc">text to be displayed when imae hover</span>
</div>
Update
All can be done with CSS...

Here's an easy jQuery plugin you can implement: http://file.urin.take-uma.net/jquery.balloon.js-Demo.html
It works like this:
$(function() {
$('img').balloon(options);
});
This jQuery applied the balloon function to all images on the page. Here's your HTML:
<img src="example.png" alt="Here's your caption." />
The text in the balloon is going to be whatever is in the alt attribute for images and whatever is in the title attribute for other tags.

I've just done this:
http://twostepmedia.co.uk
It uses hoverintent jquery plugin so there is a delay of 250ms after the user hovers over to avoid erratic hover behaviour.

jquery dropdown div not quite working

i'm trying to make a div drop down when someone hovers over a link. Inside the div is a login form. The following code works only in that if i hover over the link the div does appear. However when i move the mouse from the link down over the div, the div immediately retracts. Please see:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.slidedown').hide();
jQuery('a.top-link-cart').hover( function(){ // enter animation
jQuery('.slidedown').stop(true,true).animate({
height: ['toggle', 'swing'],
}, 600, function() { /* animation done */ });
}, function(){ // leave animation
jQuery('.slidedown').mouseout( function() {
setTimeout( function(){
jQuery('.slidedown').stop(true,true).animate( {
height: '0px'}, 600, function(){});}, 200 ); // setTimeout ends here
}); // mouseout ends here
});
});
All i'm trying to achieve is have the div a) stay open if the user mouses from the link to the div b)close if the user moves mouse away from link but not into div and c) close if user moves mouse out of div. I thought the .mouseout function would keep the div open so that i can at least move my mouse over it but it isn't working. Any ideas? I'd be very grateful this has been a headache to me for a week now. Thanks.

You should not use .hover but .mouseover() instead for your first method.

You could wrap your link and the div that does the animation in another div and then apply the hover to the parent div instead of the link. This way you will still validate. For example:
<div class="whatever">
<a class="top-link-cart">Show login form</a>
<div class="slidedown">form html goes here</div>
</div>
and the javascript would be:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('.slidedown').hide();
jQuery('.whatever').hover(function(){//to show
jQuery('.slidedown').show('effect', duration in millisecs);
}, function(){//to hide
jQuery('.slidedown').hide('effect', duration in millisecs);
});
});
this uses the jQueryUI for the animation effects, but you could use the .slideDown() and .slideUp() methods as well if all you need is the div to slide up or down

You need to nest your div.slidedown inside the a.top-link-cart:
<a class="top-link-cart">Show login form
<div class="slidedown">
The login form HTML
</div>
</a>
Ignoring standards (block elements like <div> tags shouldn't really be nested inside inline elements like <a> tags), this will work because when the div.slidedown expands, so does the parent <a>.
That way, the mouseout event won't be triggered until the user's mouse leaves the <a>.

HTML "overlay" which allows clicks to fall through to elements behind it [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
HTML/CSS: Make a div "invisible" to clicks?
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm trying to overlay a element on top of a webpage (to draw arbitrary graphics), and I've come to the point where I can stack it inside of a element on top of everything, but this prevents the user from clicking on any links/buttons/etc.
Is there a way to have its content float on top of everything (it's semi-transparent, so you can still see what is behind) and have the user interact with the layer below it?
I've found a lot of information on the DOM event model, but none of it addresses the problem where the buttons and other "native" controls never seem to get the clicks in the first place.

A silly hack I did was to set the height of the element to zero but overflow:visible; combining this with pointer-events:none; seems to cover all the bases.
.overlay {
height:0px;
overflow:visible;
pointer-events:none;
background:none !important;
}

Add pointer-events: none; to the overlay.
Original answer: My suggestion would be that you could capture the click event with the overlay, hide the overlay, then refire the click event, then display the overlay again. I'm not sure if you'd get a flicker effect though.
[Update] Exactly this problem and exactly my solution just appeared in this post: "Forwarding Mouse Events Through Layers". I know its probably a little late for the OP, but for the sake of somebody having this problem in the future, I though I would include it.

For the record an alternative approach might be to make the clickable layer the overlay: you make it semi-transparent and then place the "overlay" image behind it (somewhat counterintuitively, the "overlay" image could then be opaque). Depending on what you're trying to do, you might well be able to get the exact same visual effect (of an image and a clickable layer semi-transparently superimposed on top of each other), while avoiding clickability problems (because the "overlay" is in fact in the background).

In case anyone else is running in to the same problem, the only solution I could find that satisfied me was to have the canvas cover everything and then to raise the Z-index of all clickable elements. You can't draw on them, but at least they are clickable...

My team ran into this issue and resolved it very nicely.
add a class "passthrough" or something to each element you want clickable and which is under the overlay.
for each ".passthrough" element append a div and position it exactly on top of its parent. add class "element-overlay" to this new div.
The ".element-overlay" css should have a high z-index (above the page's overlay), and the elements should be transparent.
This should resolve your problem as the events on the ".element-overlay" should bubble up to ".passthrough". If you still have problems (we did not see any so far) you can play around with the binding.
This is an enhancement to #jvenema's solution.
The nice thing about this is that
you don't pass through ALL events to ALL elements. Just the ones you want. (resolved #jvenema's argument)
All events will work properly. (hover for example).
If you have any problems please let me know so I can elaborate.

You can use an overlay with opacity set in order to the buttons/anchors in the back stay visible, but once you have that overlay over an element, you can't click it.

Generally, this isn't a great idea. Taking your scenario, if you had evil intentions, you could hide everything underneath your "overlay". Then, when a user clicks on a link they think should take them to bankofamerica.com, instead it triggers the hidden link which takes them to myevilsite.com.
That said, event bubbling works, and if it's within an application, it's not a big deal. The following code is an example. Clicking the blue area pops up an alert, even though the alert is set on the red area. Note that the orange area does NOT work, because the event will propagate through the PARENT elements, so your overlay needs to be inside whatever element you're observing the clicks on. In your scenario, you may be out of luck.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="outer" style="position:absolute;height:50px;width:60px;z-index:1;background-color:red;top:5px;left:5px;" onclick="alert('outer')">
<div id="nested" style="position:absolute;height:50px;width:60px;z-index:2;background-color:blue;top:15px;left:15px;">
</div>
</div>
<div id="separate" style="position:absolute;height:50px;width:60px;z-index:3;background-color:orange;top:25px;left:25px;">
</div>
</body>
</html>

How about this for IE?:
onmousedown: Hide all elements which could overlay the event. Because display:none visibility:hidden not realy works, push the overlaying div out of the screen for a fixed number of pixels. After a delay push back the overlaying div with the same number of pixels.
onmouseup: Meanwhile this is the event you like to fire.
//script
var allclickthrough=[];
function hidedivover(){
if(allclickthrough.length==0){
allclickthrough=getElementsByClassName(document.body,"clickthrough");// if so .parentNode
}
for(var i=0;i<allclickthrough.length;i++){
allclickthrough[i].style.left=parseInt(allclickthrough[i].style.left)+2000+"px";
}
setTimeout(function(){showdivover()},1000);
}
function showdivover(){
for(var i=0;i<allclickthrough.length;i++){
allclickthrough[i].style.left=parseInt(allclickthrough[i].style.left)-2000+"px";
}
}
//html
<span onmouseup="Dreck_he_got_me()">Click me if you can.</span>
<div onmousedown="hidedivover()" style="position:absolute" class="clickthrough">You'll don't get through!</div>

I was having this issue when viewing my website on a phone. While I was trying to close the overlay, I was pretty much clicking on anything under the overlay. A solution that I found working for myself is to just add a tag around the entire overlay

Javascript "onMouseOver" triggering for children?

I can't tell if this is a result of the jQuery I'm using, but this is what I'm trying to do:
<div class="info" style="display: inline;"
onMouseOut="$(this).children('div').hide('normal');"
onMouseOver="$(this).children('div').show('normal');"
>
<img src="images/target.png">
<div class="tooltiptwo" id="tooltip"
style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 0.8em;" >TOOLTIP TEXT</div>
</div>
To anyone familiar with basic CSS and jQuery, I'm trying to add a simple animation to my tooltips. The problem is the triggering of such an animation. It seems that when the animation happens, if the user moves their mouse over the tooltip, the animation will go into a loop of showing and hiding until the user moves the mouse away. This is an undesired effect, as I want the animation to go away just once, when the mouse moves out of the parent div. I've positioned my CSS so that the tooltip appears away from the parent div, but regardless the actions should be triggering only on the parent, and not any of its children.
So basically, how would I go about achieving this? I want my hover/out state on my parent element to trigger a function (an animation) on the children of that parent, without the hover/out states of the children doing anything. It seems that the normal method of onMouseOver and onMouseOut is triggering even for the children of the parent that the method belongs to, which is causing some rather undesirable effects.
Note that I'm new to jQuery (although its amazing so far, I want to coat my site in its goodness if I can) and if there is a better way to achieve the hover/out states using jQuery I probably don't know about them.

edit: actually this is a much better solution (credit):
$('.info').bind('mouseenter', function() {
$('div', this).show('normal');
});
$('.info').bind('mouseleave', function() {
$('div', this).hide('normal');
});
// hide the tooltip to start off
$('.info div').hide();
edit2: in response to the comments, i think i would suggest structuring your HTML differently then, or binding the event to the sibling element (the image) instead:
<div class="info">
<img src="stuff.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="tooltip"></div>
or binding on the image:
$('.info img').bind('mouseenter', function() { etc... });
$('.info img').bind('mouseleave', function() { etc... });

Did you follow this tutorial ?
Especially the mousemove part, where he constantly sets the positioning values left and top to align the tooltip next to the cursor. the X and Y coordinates are called via .pageX and .pageY. And he also adds a little offset of 15 px so the tooltip is not directly below the cursor.
That way, the mouse can not be over the tooltip, even the fadeout phase. Hence no infinite loop

Bind it to the parent div, and use stopPropagation to stop it from being binded to your tooltip. Like this:
[code]
$('.info').bind('mouseover', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$(this > 'div').show('normal');
});
$('.info').bind('mouseout', function() {
$(this > 'div').hide('normal');
});
// hide the tooltip to start off
$('.info div').hide();
[/code]
However, I too use pageX and pageY to make my tooltips move with the cursor.
