I've spent the past several hours trying to work out a hover effect for 2 separate links on a site I'm working on. The links aren't even remotely related in the HTML, so I'm unable to use CSS (as far as I can see) to achieve the effect. It's nothing more than a simple hover effect to change the color of two separate links on hove, regardless of which one the user hovers over. There are no images at this point, only text - I'm hoping it stays that way (I'm looking at you, graphic designer wife).
The html involves a bootstrap navbar & a link on the home page of a WordPress site, so the architecture is something like this:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li><a class="abt" href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a class="prc" href="#">Work</a></li>
<li><a class="exp" href="#">Testimonials</a></li>
<li><a class="ofc" href="#">Locations</a></li>
<li><a class="con" href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<section id="content" role="main">
<article id="post-10" class="post-10 page type-page status-publish hentry">
<header class="header">
<h1 class="entry-title">Home</h1> <a class="post-edit-link" href="#post.php?post=10&action=edit">Edit This</a></header>
<section class="entry-content">
<div class="links">
<li><a class="abt" href="#/about/"><span class="pg abt1">
<p>About</p>
<p></span></a></li>
I'd like to focus on the "About" sections for this - I'm pretty sure that I need either jQuery or JS to accomplish what I'm after but I'm a rank beginner in both!
Alright, so you're right. You need jQuery. First of all, what you should do is give the two link tags the same class, let's say foo. Give both link tags the class foo. Then, use jQuery to target them both.
Now, id you want it to change the color permanently on hover, use THIS:
$('.foo').hover(function(){
$('.foo').css('color', 'red');
});
Feel free to change red to whatever color you like. Now, if you want the color to change only while being hovered over, use this:
$('.foo').mouseenter(function(){
$('.foo').css('color', 'red');
});
$('.foo').mouseleave(function(){
$('.foo').css('color', 'black');
});
in the second chunk, change black to whatever the original color is. If you are unfamiliar with how to use JQuery, add the following tag into your code below the CSS stylesheet (if applicable)
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
This makes the browser read the jQuery. If you don't have this, the browser can't read the jQuery.
Then, copy and paste either one of the two bits of jQuery into a file, save it as a .js file, and then attach it via <script> tag after the tag listed above. Alternatively, put the jQuery between two script tags as such:
<script type='text/javascript'>
//one of the two blocks of JQuery here
</script>
Put that in your code After the tag that allows you to use jQuery.
EDIT: I received a request for code to make them different colors. The code would look like this:
First of all, you can keep or remove the class. Then assign them separate IDs , say id_1 and id_2. Then, using the first method:
$('#id_1').hover(function(){
$(this).css('color', 'red');
});
$('#id_2').hover(function(){
$(this).css('color', 'red');
});
This would change the color permanent when hovered on. Using the second method to change the color while being hovered on:
$('#id_1').mouseenter(function(){
$(this).css('color', 'red');
});
$('#id_1').mouseleave(function(){
$(this).css('color', 'black');
});
then do the same thing, but switch id_1 for id_2 and change the colors to whatever. The first color is the color being changed to, and the second one the color being set back to the original.

I am very new to jQuery and not entirely sure what I'm doing. Will try my best to explain the problem I'm facing.
I'm trying to lock some content on a landing page until a user shares the link using FB, Twitter, LinkedIN or G+. The first version of the script I wrote (which worked fine) ran like this:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
...
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('.class').click(clearroadblock());
buildroadblock();
}
</script>
<style>
.class
{
[css stuff]
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="something">
<ul>
<li> Link1 </li>
<li> Link2 </li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
The problem I'm now facing is changing out this code to replace the list elements with social share buttons. As they are no longer under .class, but classes like fb-share-button and twitter-share-button. Please help me understand what I need to modify to accommodate this? PS: This is not a Wordpress site.
function clearroadblock()
{
$('#roadblockdiv').css('display', 'none');
$('#roadblockBkg').css('display','none');
}
This is the way I'm clearing the overlay once a click is detected, BTW.
Can I wrap the social buttons in divs, assign them IDs and use those IDs to trigger the click like below?
<div id="Button">
Tweet
</div>
$('#Button').click(clearroadblock());
You can have multiple classes on an element by separating them with a space. Try the following:
class="class fb-share-button"
Your jquery will still work off the "class" class. I would recommend you change this name to something more meaningful though. Your css can target the "class" for general styles, but you can also target fb and twitter separately.
Update
I decided to create a quick JSFiddle for this.
Some of the styles etc won't be the same as what you're doing, but the problem is resolved. I've created a div with id main that contains the content that you want to hide. There's an absolutely positioned div over the top of this, this is the roadblock. The javascript is showing the roadblock (assuming that's what you wanted to do with buildroadblock()).
On click of a link in the ul with id socialMedia we call clearroadblock. Notice the lack of parenthesis. This hides the roadblock.
This isn't a great way of preventing someone from seeing information, you might want to think about pulling the content down from the server when the action is performed, however, I think this answers your question.
I have this code for the header
<div id="header">
<IMG SRC="http://danithemes.fanscity.eu/shugar/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/header-principal.png">
</div>
And this code for the main menu
<div id="menu">
Link One,
Link Two,
Link Three
</div>
I want the header image to fade into another image through the main menu links. Is this possible? Thanks.
First of all most W3C folks will get mad at you for this line <div id="header">
Anything syntactically named with an id the same as a generic HTML object tag needs to just be that tag. Anything good enough to give an id of id='header' should probably just be a <header> tag.
Secondly, I am unsure what the question is asking fully so let's go with something not yet said. #Parody showed a fiddled way of having the images change on click. The part of your question that said I want the header image to fade into another image through the main menu links. Is this possible? is difficult to understand so I am going to assume that you want some kind of event to trigger the changing of the images? There are many ways to do this but the best of which (especially for beginning programmers) is to use Bootstrap version 3.0+ since it comes with HTML driven stuff that usually requires JavaScript/JQuery to accomplish.
If you don't want to use Bootstrap then that's fine here is an example of how to use a hover event to trigger the change using JQuery...
HTML
<div id="header">
<img src="http://danithemes.fanscity.eu/shugar/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/header-principal.png" />
</div>
<div id="menu">
Link One
Link Two
Link Three
</div>
JAVASCRIPT/JQUERY
$(".navLink").each(function() {
$(this).hover(function() {
$("#header img").css({"background-image":"url($(this).attr('data-image'))"});
});
});
Only this much now: I'm creating a vcard design for myself. My motivation is to make it look as good as possible. I want to apply to a webdesign company with this vcard to get a professional education for webdesign.
I still have a lot to change till it completely fulfills in my requirements, but this is my current version of the design I just uploaded to get you an overview over the design.
So as you can see it's focused on retro, vintage, ribbons and scetch elements.
Right know I want to get rid of these jerking content refreshs. So I thought a dynamic content swap via ajax and jQuery would be the best way to do it.
I never did much with js or actually ajax.
I want to ask you guys about a solution you think benefits in my design. I was thinking about something smoothly.
The content which needs to be changed is placed in
<nav>
(...)
<ul class="ribbon s"><!--Following links got the class="ribbon b/p/l/k"-->
<li class="ribbon-content">Link</li>
<!--
?content=blog
?content=portfolio
?content=lebenslauf
?content=kontakt
-->
</ul>
(...)
</nav>
<section id="content">
<div class="con clearfix">
(...)
</div><!--An empty div for possibly swapping without touching the vintage paper thing -->
</section>
http://robert-richter.com/boilerplate/
for example use jquery.
first add jquery to your html. within the domready-event you can register click events on your ribbon-menue. on each click you load the div-content from the given link-url in the html-part.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$.ready(function(){
$(".ribbon-content a").on("click", function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$(".con").load($(event.target).attr("href"), function(){
// add code after loading - for example change classes of menue
})
});
})
</script>
additionly you can the the browser-history to enable the prev- and next-buttons of the browser.
I'm working on a js script which will show / hide multiple divs based on css class, seemingly pretty simple. I set out to find an example of this and found something close in the article linked below. I used the code in the following link as a starting point.
Show/hide multiple divs using JavaScript
In my modified code (shown below) I am able to hide all (which is errant) and show all (which works correctly. I'm not sure why its not targeting the CSS class "red, green or blue" correctly. If I hard one of the class names in the script it works as expected, so I'm fairly certain I'm having an issue in the way I'm referencing the css targets themselves.
I am able to hide all and show all, yet I'm having difficulty showing only the selected class.
Here is the jsFiddle I'm working with: http://jsfiddle.net/juicycreative/WHpXz/4/
My code is below.
JavaScript
$('.categories li a').click(function () {
$('.marker').hide();
$((this).attr('target')).show();
});
$('#cat-show').click(function () {
$('.marker').show();
});
HTML
<ul class="categories">
<li id="cat-show" class="cat-col1" target="all" >All</li>
<li id="cat-models" class="cat-col1" target="red" >Model Homes</li>
<li id="cat-schools" class="cat-col1" target="blue">Schools</li>
<li id="cat-hospital" class="cat-col1" target="green" >Hospitals</li>
</ul>
<div id="locator">
<div id="overview-00" class="marker models" title="Maracay Homes<br />at Artesian Ranch"></div>
<!--SCHOOLS-->
<div id="overview-01" class="marker red" title="Perry High School">1</div>
<div id="overview-02" class="marker red" title="Payne Jr. High School">2</div>
<div id="overview-03" class="marker blue" title="Hamilton Prep">3</div>
<div id="overview-04" class="marker blue" title="Ryan Elementary">4</div>
<div id="overview-05" class="marker green" title="Chandler Traditional – Freedom">5</div>
</div>
Thanks in advance for any responses.
$((this).attr('target')).show();
This is syntactically incorrect. It should be $($(this).attr('target'))
However that's no good either because this is the anchor element that does not have the target. Use $(this).closest('li').attr('target') (or add the target to the <a>).
This is also semantically incorrect as that would interpolate to $("red") which would try to look for a <red> element.
$("." + $(this).closest('li').attr('target'))
http://jsfiddle.net/WHpXz/5/
You are almost there. This is the line that needs tweaking: $((this).attr('target')).show();
$(this) actually refers to the current anchor tag that was clicked. Since the anchor tag doesn't have the target attribute, you need to go up to the parent.
From there, you can get the target and add the '.' to the color to use as a selector.
var catToShow = $(this).parent().attr('target');
$('.' + catToShow).show();
I've edited your fiddle. Give it a shot.
http://jsfiddle.net/juicycreative/WHpXz/4/
I want to add a group of classes ontop of an image that only appear when the user rolls over.
Please see this as a working example:
http://www.warface.co.uk/clients/warface.co.uk/
(CLICK the red arrow at the top)
You will notice a horizontal list of images and text, desired effect will list all images and the yellow block with text will be the rollover effect.
CSS
<li><a class="project-thumb"><img src="images/_scroll1s.jpg" alt="">
The London Police</a></li>
<li><div class="project-thumb">
<div class="content">
<h2>The London Police</h2></a>
<a class="view-project">View Project</a>
</div><!--content END -->
</div><!--project-thumb END -->
</li></ul>
Could you please advise on the correct markup for the javascript replacement effect.
Many thanks
I recommend that you use a javascript library like jQuery. jQuery makes it insanely easy to do a class change on a hover event.
Add jquery in your <head> tag. Use the one from googles CDN:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
Add something like this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// find the image inside the link with the class project-thumb and add a hover event
$("a.project-thumb img").hover(
function () {
// add a class to the closest li. $(this) is the image
$(this).closest('li').addClass('theClassYouWantToAdd');
},
function () {
$(this).closest('li').removeClass('theClassYouWantToRemove');
}
);
});
</script>
Documentation for the hover event: http://api.jquery.com/hover/
That should work :)
