Close menu when another item is hovered

I am creating a menu with two dropdowns. I need the dropdowns to open when the menu item is hovered over, but close if the other menu item is hovered over.
The problem I am having is getting the first dropdown to close if I hover over the second menu item.
Please see my fiddle here: http://www.bootply.com/uEKWCdNj4C
I've looked through other questions, and this one seems to possibly be of use, but I'm having trouble applying it to my situation: Vertical Menu to stay open on hover then close when another is hovered
So I apologize if this is a duplicate...any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can call slideup on the open ul before calling slidedown on the current one. like below
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".nav-basic").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-applied').slideUp('medium');
$('ul.menu-basic').slideDown('medium');
});
$('ul.menu-basic').bind('mouseleave', function(){
$('ul.menu-basic').slideUp('medium');
});
$(".nav-applied").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideUp('medium');
$('ul.menu-applied').slideDown('medium');
});
$('ul.menu-applied').bind('mouseleave', function(){
$('ul.menu-applied').slideUp('medium');
});
});

You just needed to update your script to call the slideUp function:
$(".nav-basic").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideDown('medium');
$('ul.menu-applied').slideUp('medium');
});
$(".nav-applied").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideUp('medium');
$('ul.menu-applied').slideDown('medium');
});

Your code could use some optimization, but you could basically call slideUp() on all other $(.menu-interior') elements that are not of the target class:
Example: $('.menu-interior:not(.menu-basic)').slideUp();
See forked fiddle here: http://www.bootply.com/DZxktgUtjh
Note: This will close ANY other open menu, rather than having to hard-code all other classes when the menu grows.

So set an class="isHovered" on the element that is hovered.
Set the boxes class="isHovered" aswell ..
If hover is called again , or lets say mouseenter, you check if isHovered is set on the current box and on the other box ... or iterate over any boxes there might be ...
You could aswell store the currently hovered element id in a variable and the box id. Then use these values. As JS is not multithreaded you can rely on the order of execution ...

$(document).ready(function() {
$(".nav-basic").hover(function() {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideToggle('medium');
});
$(".nav-applied").hover(function() {
$('ul.menu-applied').slideToggle('medium');
});
});

Jquery if else statment for tooltip

I have a tooltip that appears when you mouseover a link. I want the tooltip to stay if you hover over it (because there are links and such in it), or disappear if you mouse away from the link.
I tried a couple things, but haven't figured it out. This is my first time building anything serious with jQuery.
The stuff below is what is in the .hover() 'handlerOut' event.
if($(this.a).mouseout())
{
if ($('.tip_container').hover()) {
$('.tip_container').css('display', 'block');
$('.tip_container').mouseleave(function() {
$('.tip_container').remove(0);
});
} else if ($('.tip_container').hover() == false && $(this.a).mouseoff() == true)
{
$('.tip_container').remove(0);
}
}
>>"this.a" refers to the link<<
With this and the other things I've tried the tooltip doesn't disappear unless you mouse over the off of it. I also tried
else if (!$('.tip_container').hover() && $(this.a).mouseoff()) {
Is it possible to have multiple conditions?
The main idea of the code is that if you mouse off of the link "this.a" the tooltip will be removed by:
$('.tip_container').remove(0);
but if you mouse over the tooltip it will not be removed until you mouse off of the tooltip.

Do you have a fiddle or anything to demonstrate?
Maybe something like
$(this, '.tip_container').hover(function () {
$('.tip_container').show();
}, function () {
$('.tip_container').hide();
}
);
Basically bind both the link and the tooltip elements to the hover method, which hides/shows the tooltip element on mouseenter/mouseleave. The link Pointy posted in comments is a good place to start

After a good nights rest and ignoring it for a while I figured out a solution. This is what I put in the hover handlerOut event.
var timer;
timer = setTimeout(function() {
$('.tip_container').remove();
}, 500);
$( '.tip_container' ).hover(
function() {
clearTimeout(timer);
$('.tip_container').css('display', 'block');
}, function() {
$('.tip_container').remove();
}
);
On the hover out of the link it will wait before executing the remove and if the mouse hovers over the tooltip it will clear the timer and set the tooltip to block to keep it displayed then on that hover out of the tooltip it will be removed.

Bootstrap dropdown menu – stay open if search bar is focused

I am trying to create a customized bootstrap dropdown menu that opens and closes on hover (which I have working), but also stays open if the search bar is focused in the Events dropdown menu until it loses focus or the users clicks away from the dropdown.
Here is my js code:
$('ul.nav li.dropdown').hover(function() {
$(this).closest('.dropdown-menu').show(); $(this).addClass('open'); },
function() {
$("#search-query").focusin(function() {
$('.events').addClass('search-active');
});
if ($('.events').hasClass('search-active')) {
return;
} else {
$(this).closest('.dropdown-menu').hide(); $(this).removeClass('open');
}
});
Here is a codepen so you can see the rest of my code: http://codepen.io/webinsation/pen/bfDsB
I have tried several different ways to solve this using jquery’s is(':focus') selector with no results.
I appreciate any help or ideas you may have.
Thanks,

You can use :focus to find if the search box has focus in the second hover function, without any need to give things additional events. .size() will return 1 if it has focus and 0 otherwise, and then the ! casts those to true and false, respectively, before negating. Then in the first hover function, check to make sure there are no currently open menus before opening.
$('ul.nav li.dropdown').hover(function() {
if (!$(".dropdown-menu:visible").size()) {
$(this).closest('.dropdown-menu').show(); $(this).addClass('open');
}
},
function() {
if (!$(".navbar-search input:focus").size()) {
$(this).closest('.dropdown-menu').hide(); $(this).removeClass('open');
}
});
CodePen demo

I'll have my try.
I've used the hover() function and it's callback.
function () {
if (!$("#search-query").is(':focus')){
$(this).removeClass('open');
} else if ( !$( '.events' ).is( ':hover' ) ) {
$("#search-query").blur();
$('.dropdown-menu').hide();
}
});
on hover it's pretty much the same, You can set it back to closest as it was before.
On the callback (no hover) I check if not the .events gets hovered (so it'll show each of the other menu items drop down menus and also hiding the .events menu when hover removed. (you can set it to click if you want).
Here is a Fiddle, Hope it assists.

jquery mouseleave event not being fired when quickly hovering over nav link?

I have a dropdown navigation where I want to slide up and down a dropdown which works fine, what I've found however is that if I hover over the link quickly the nav links dont disappear, I've tried adding stop(true,true) etc but with no success. Can anyone advise on how I can resolve this?
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9QdhN/3/
JS
mouseleave: function() {
if( !isActive ) {
inner.stop(true,true).fadeOut('fast', function(){
if (topLevelLinks.children('.sub-nav').filter(":visible").length === 0) {
subNav.stop(true,true).slideUp();
}
});
}
}
});

You don't need the isActive variable, jQuery does this for you in the stop() method.
Here's the fixed code: http://jsfiddle.net/9QdhN/7/

Jquery drop down

Here is a jquery drop down i am trying to make: http://jsfiddle.net/qYMq4/2/
Basically i just want a div to drop down when a user mouses over a link and stay down unless i mouse away from the link or over the dropped down div and then away from the div. So it is almost like a standard drop down menu that you see in alot of website navigation, but this just has a bit of animation so it doesn't appear instantly.
I'm finding it terribly difficult, as you can see it doesn't quite function correctly. Any adivce? Thanks for your input.

You can see a working demo of the following here.
I prefer mouseenter[DOCS] and mouseleaveDOCS in this situation as it behaves better when hovering over children. I restructured your HTML so that the hover is over the parent div of the link, so that when you hover over the gray area that slides down it's not considered a mouseleave as follows:
<div class="mask-layer">
<a class="top-link-cart" href="http://www.w3schools.com/">Test</a>
<div class="slidedown">div should close if user moves mouse away from test (but not to the gray area) or away from the gray area. The .mouseout function doesn't appear to work. </div>
</div>
I then restructured your Javascript to use .mask-layer for the hover events, and simplified the animation with slideUp[DOCS] and slideDown[DOCS] as follows:
$('.slidedown').hide();
$('div.mask-layer').mouseenter(function() { // enter animation
$('.slidedown').slideDown(600);
}).mouseleave(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$('.slidedown').slideUp(600);
}, 200);
});

You can use the slideDown() and slideUp() methods - they're a littler easier to work with. You'll also want to use the windowSetTimeout. A lesser known feature is that it returns a number which will allow you to cancel the timeout. You can use that to keep the div open in the event the user scrolls down onto it. Some inspiration for this approach borrowed from here: http://javascript-array.com/scripts/jquery_simple_drop_down_menu/
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.slidedown').hide();
var timeout = 500;
var closetimer = 0;
$('a.top-link-cart, .slidedown').mouseover( function(){
cancel_timer();
$('.slidedown').slideDown(1000);
});
$('a.top-link-cart, .slidedown').mouseout( function(){
closetimer = window.setTimeout(function(){$('.slidedown').slideUp(1000)}, timeout);
});
function cancel_timer(){
if(closetimer)
{ window.clearTimeout(closetimer);
closetimer = null;
}
}
});

if you are looking for a click action dropdown menu here it is
//toggle navbar on click.
$('//my link').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$('//sub menu container').toggle();
});
//to close dropdown menu when clicked out it.
$(document).click(function() {
$('//sub menu container').hide();
});
hope it works for you..... !!
