Problems with mouseover and mouseout events in a continuous jQuery content slider

I have tried to built a continuous content slider in jQuery.
If you don't hover over it, then it works fine, it slides (even though I feel like I made it happen in a wrong way).
When you hover it then it stops, but only for 2 seconds. As you'd imagine, it should stay stopped until the cursor is removed. Maybe the interval is not cleared properly?
Generally the whole thing works improperly when you starts to hover/unhover.
Here's a demo of my plugin: http://jsfiddle.net/T5Gt3/
(function ($) {
$.fn.productSlider = function(options) {
var defaults = {
speed: 2000
};
var config = $.extend(defaults, options);
this.each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
$scrollable = $this.find('#content-product-slider-inner'),
timeLeft;
function animateScrollable() {
$scrollable.animate({ left: '-120px' }, config.speed, 'linear', function() {
$scrollable.css({ left: '0px' }).find('a:first-child').remove().appendTo($scrollable);
});
};
animateScrollable();
var timer = setInterval(animateScrollable, config.speed);
$scrollable.mouseover(function() {
$scrollable.stop();
clearInterval(timer);
});
$scrollable.mouseout(function() {
animateScrollable();
var timer = setInterval(animateScrollable, config.speed);
});
});
return this;
};
})(jQuery);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$(".event_list_inner_wrapper").live({
mouseenter: function () {
$(this).find('.front_side').fadeOut(600).hide();
$(this).find('.back_side').fadeIn(600).show();
},
mouseleave: function () {
$(this).find('.back_side').fadeOut(600).hide();
$(this).find('.front_side').fadeIn(600).show();
}
});
That's code I used for a project that was similar to your description. Basically, bind the mice events, and do your thing.

some issues with mouseenter and mouseleave functions

I have this function:
$(".insidediv").hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function(){
$(".hideimg").fadeOut(function(){
$(".insidediv").fadeIn();
});
});
$(".floater").mouseleave(function(){
$(".insidediv").fadeOut(function(){
$(".hideimg").fadeIn();
});
});
the function built to make a little animation, when you 'mouseenter' the div the picture I have there is hidden and than a few text show up.
it works fine if i move the mouse slowly. but if i move my mouse fast over the div the function getting confused or something and it shows me both '.insidediv and .hideimg,
how can i fixed that little problem so it wont show me both? thanks!

You need to reset the opacity, because fadeIn and fadeOut uses this css property for animation. Just stopping the animation is not enough.
This should work:
var inside = $(".insidediv"),
img = $(".hideimg");
duration = 500;
inside.hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function () {
if (inside.is(":visible"))
inside.stop().animate({ opacity: 1 }, duration);
img.stop().fadeOut(duration, function () {
inside.fadeIn(duration);
});
});
$(".floater").mouseleave(function () {
if (img.is(":visible"))
img.stop().animate({ opacity: 1 }, duration);
inside.stop().fadeOut(duration, function () {
img.fadeIn(duration);
});
});
I just introduced the duration variable to get animations of equal length.
Here is a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/eau7M/1/ (modification from previous comment on other post)

try this:
var $insideDiv = $(".insidediv");
var $hideImg = $(".hideimg");
$insideDiv.hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function(){
$hideImg.finish().fadeOut(function(){
$insideDiv.fadeIn();
});
}).mouseleave(function(){
$insideDiv.finish().fadeOut(function(){
$hideImg.fadeIn();
});
});

This will solve your issue:
var inside = $(".insidediv"),
img = $(".hideimg");
inside.hide();
$(".floater").hover(function () {
img.stop(true).fadeOut('fast',function () {
inside.stop(true).fadeIn('fast');
});
},function () {
inside.stop(true).fadeOut('fast',function () {
img.stop(true).fadeIn('fast');
});
});
Updated Fiddle

You need to set the 'mouseleave' function when the mouse is still inside the
'floater' div.
Try this (i have tried it on the jsfiddle you setup and it works):
.....
<div class="floater">Float</div>
<div class="insidediv">inside</div>
<div class="hideimg">img</div>
var inside = $('.insidediv'),
img = $('.hideimg');
inside.hide();
$('.floater').mouseenter( function() {
img.stop().hide();
inside.show( function() {
$('.floater').mouseleave( function() {
inside.hide();
img.fadeIn();
inside.stop(); // inside doesn't show when you hover the div many times fast
});
});
});

Fading Latest News Ticker

I'm looking to get the most efficient way to produce a latest news ticker.
I have a ul which can hold any number of li's and all I need to to loop through them fading one in, holding it for 5 seconds and then fading it out, one li at a time. The list is displaying with an li height of 40px and the well it displays in is also 40px which with overflow: hidden which produces the desired effect. Also to be able to hold the li in place if the cursor hovers over it while its being displayed would be great to build it.
I know there is the jQuery ticker plugin that is widely used (ala the old BBC style) but I've tried to use it and it seems so bulky for the simplicity I need and it plays havoc with the styling I use.
I've been using this so far:
function tickOut(){
$('#ticker li:first').animate({'opacity':0}, 1000, function () {
$(this).appendTo($('#ticker')).css('opacity', 1); });
}
setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
But it doesn't actually fade in the next li so the effect is a bit messy.
If someone could suggest some alternations to help produce the effect I need that would be so useful.
Thanks

hide() and call fadein() the element after it becomes the top of the list.
function tickOut(){
$('#ticker li:first').animate({'opacity':0}, 1000, function () {
$(this).appendTo($('#ticker'))
$('#ticker li:first').hide()
$('#ticker li:first').fadeIn(1000)
$('#ticker li:not(:first)').css('opacity', '1')
});
}
setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
see:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/lHdGb

I woudl do it like that:
function tickOut(){
$('#ticker li:first').animate({'opacity':0}, 1000, function () {
$(this).appendTo($('#ticker')).css('opacity', 1); });
}
var interval;
$(function() {
interval = setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
$('#ticker').hover(function() {
if(interval)
clearInterval(interval);
$('#ticker li:first').stop();
$('#ticker li:first').css('opacity', 1).stop();
}, function(){
interval = setInterval(function(){ tickOut () }, 5500);
});
});
See $('#ticker').hover which clears interval and stops animation and returns opacity to 1 when mouse got inside UL (may be changed to do that when only some special element inside LI is under mouse) and starts it again once it left that UL. Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/KFyzq/6/

jQuery tool tip on hover

I am in need of a very lightweight tooltip similar to the 1 found here http://www.history.com/videos when you hover a video link under "Popular Videos", a tooltip fades into place, it stays there and you can even select text on it until you move the cursor off it. Facebook and Google+ also have a similar style tool-tip as well as stackoverflow when you hover over a tag. Can someone provide a light weight method of doing this.
I have search and looked at many existing "plugins" they are all somewhat bloated though. Thanks for any help

Here's a pretty simple way you could accomplish this:
var timeout;
function hide() {
timeout = setTimeout(function () {
$("#tooltip").hide('fast');
}, 500);
};
$("#tip").mouseover(function () {
clearTimeout(timeout);
$("#tooltip").stop().show('fast');
}).mouseout(hide);
$("#tooltip").mouseover(function () {
clearTimeout(timeout);
}).mouseout(hide);
Where #tip is the element you want to mouseover to make the tooltip appear, and #tooltip is the actual tooltip element.
Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/pvyhY/
If you wanted to wrap this in a jQuery plugin:
(function($) {
$.fn.tooltip = function(tooltipEl) {
var $tooltipEl = $(tooltipEl);
return this.each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var hide = function () {
var timeout = setTimeout(function () {
$tooltipEl.hide();
}, 500);
$this.data("tooltip.timeout", timeout);
};
/* Bind an event handler to 'hover' (mouseover/mouseout): */
$this.hover(function () {
clearTimeout($this.data("tooltip.timeout"));
$tooltipEl.show();
}, hide);
/* If the user is hovering over the tooltip div, cancel the timeout: */
$tooltipEl.hover(function () {
clearTimeout($this.data("tooltip.timeout"));
}, hide);
});
};
})(jQuery);
Usage:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#tip").tooltip("#tooltip");
});
Add more functionality and you'll eventually end up with the excellent qTip plugin, which I recommend taking a look at as well.

jQuery function ignore class

I've got an interesting situation. I'm building a music page using an open source flash music player that degrades to html for mobile users. I've got everything working great except for one issue.. and that is that one of my Javascript functions is interfering, specifically an anchor color fade.
There are many hidden buttons involved in the player, but the play/pause button has a translucent anchor underneath it and code is forcing this to be shown when the buttons are hovered over.
I can't seem to get the syntax correct using the not function.. But I'll settle for anything that works!
Thank you!
HTML
<div class="sc-player">
Javascript
jQuery(function ($) {
$('a').not('div.sc-player').each(function () {
var $el = $(this),
orig = $el.css('color');
$el.hover(function () {
$el.stop().animate({ color: '#00B0D9' }, 400);
},function () {
$el.stop().animate({ color: orig }, 400);
});
});
});

In jQuery (make sure you've got the color animation plugin from jQ UI: http://jqueryui.com/demos/animate/):
jQuery(function ($) {
$('a.a').each(function () {
var $el = $(this),
orig = $el.css('color');
if ($el.parents('.sc-player').length!=0) return;
$el.hover(function () {
$el.stop().animate({ color: '#00B0D9' }, 400);
},function () {
$el.stop().animate({ color: orig }, 400);
});
});
});
