Javascript menu that hovers over initial element - javascript

I'm trying to build a javascript menu using prototype that when you mouseover an element, that element is hidden and a bigger element is shown in its place that closes onmouseout. This is what I have so far to give you an idea, but it doesn't work and is buggy. I'm not sure what the best general approach is:
EDIT: using the prototype refactor from remi bourgarel:
function socialMenuInit(){
var social_menu = $('sociable_menu');
social_menu.hide();
var share_words = $('share_words');
Event.observe(share_words,"mouseover",function(){
share_words.hide();
social_menu.show();
});
Event.observe(social_menu,"mouseout",function(){
social_menu.hide();
share_words.show();
});
}
EDIT: The main problem now is that the second bigger menu(social_menu) that is shown on top of the smaller mouseover triggering element(share_words) only closes when you mouseout the smaller trigger element even though this element is hidden.
EDIT: This is the html and css I am using:
<div id="share_words">share</div>
<div id="sociable_menu"></div>
#share_words{
display: none;
border: 1px solid white;
position: absolute;
right: 320px;
top:0px;
padding: 4px;
background-image: url('/images/icons/group.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position:7px 6px;
text-indent:26px;
color: white;
z-index: 15;
}
#sociable_menu{
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
position: absolute;
right: 275px;
top: -10px;
z-index: 20;
}
Thanks for any help.

You're not using prorotype...try this
function socialLinkInit(){
var social_menu = $('sociable_menu');
social_menu.hide();
var share_words = $('share_words');
Event.observe(share_words,"mouseover",function(){
share_words.hide();
social_menu.show();
});
Event.observe(social_menu,"mouseout",function(){
social_menu.hide();
share_words.show();
});
}
But i'll need your html code to be more helpful

How to make an explanation text box display when a visitor hovers on an element?

you have all seen that explanatory text boxes that appears when the visitor hovers over specific element, I want to add something similar for the table datas on my webpage which explains what these table datas mean. However, I don't want to go through all that creating a new div with text inside, a function that displays that div and onmouseover-onmouseout events that triggers that function(Too complicated to do such a simple thing). Is there any easier and quicker way to do that? Maybe something similar to alt attribute in img tags?
I think you can do the trick with pseudo-elements and data attributes.
[data-test] {
border: 1px solid black;
position: relative;
}
[data-test]:hover::before {
content: attr(data-test);
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
top: calc(100% + 5px);
padding: 5px 10px;
border-radius: 2px;
background: black;
color: white;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
<div data-test="tootip">Hover me</div>

How do I display the text contents of a div tag in a tool tip without using jQuery?

I would like to be able to display the context of HTML element to show inside a tool tip. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Ideally I would like to see test show up in my tooltip. But that does not happen.
We don't use jQuery in our code base so I can't use any jQuery plugins. But we do write JavaScript code as and when required. My set up is given below
My div is as follows:
<div class="tooltip message">test</div>
My CSS set up:
.tooltip {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
.tooltip.message:before {
background: #333;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .8);
border-radius: 5px;
bottom: 26px;
color: #fff;
left: 20%;
padding: 5px 15px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 98;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.tooltip.message:after {
border: solid;
border-color: #333 transparent;
border-width: 6px 6px 0 6px;
bottom: 20px;
content:"";
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
}
My fiddle is here:
http://jsfiddle.net/7LNJc/3/
Give your class='tooltip message' an id, like:
<div class='tooltip message' id='test'>test</div>
Review the following:
var doc = document;
function E(e){
return doc.getElementById(e);
}
Now E('test') is the same as document.getElementById('id'), so you never need it again;
var test = E('test').innerHTML; // holds the html
If the Element has a value attribute, like an input then you would do:
var test = E('test').value; // holds the html value attribute
To assign new innerHTML or a value, it's like:
var test = E('test');
test.innerHTML = 'some text';
or
test.value = 'some value';
You could even do this:
E('test').innerHTML = 'some text';
Try the CSS :hover selector on div element instead tooltip specified by attribute title. it provides kind of toolkip visually.
div.tooltip {
color: #ffffff;
}
div.tooltip:hover {
border: 1px solid #000000;
background-color: yellow;
color: #000000;
}
It's not clear whether it's important to you that a custom tooltip behavior be used, rather than the default tooltip functionality already in HTML. If the custom tooltip isn't necessary, then you could use the title attribute to generate a tooltip withour resorting to JavaScript:
<div class="tooltip message" title="test">test</div>

Span Text Hidden by Animated DIV Despite z-index

I'm working on a hobby project of mine -- it's something of a glorified RSS feed reader/grabber. I've been able to get most things working, but for some reason I cannot get the text in a certain span to be drawn above an animated div.
When a feed is grabbed, certain operations are performed before displaying the results. During this time, I keep track of the progress and display them in an animated "progress bar" div. All of the sub-operations each have their own progress bars, and they all work correctly (text on top of bar), but the final progress bar (overall progress) does not layer the text correctly.
I created a simple mock-up in JSFiddle to give an example of my problem.
$('#progress-total-box').bind('click', draw);
function draw() {
if (($('#progress-totalbar-fill').css('width')) == "0px") {
$('#progress-total-box').unbind();
$('#progress-totalbar-fill').animate({width: '100%'}, 2000, function() {
var description = document.createElement('span');
$(description).attr('id', '#progress-total-text');
$(description).html('100%');
$('#progress-totalbar-empty').append(description);
$('#progress-total-box').bind('click', draw);
});
}
else {
$('#progress-total-box').unbind();
$('#progress-totalbar-fill').animate({width: 0}, 2000, function() {
document.getElementById('progress-totalbar-empty').innerHTML = '';
$('#progress-total-box').bind('click', draw);
});
}
}
The style/position/etc is purely for sake of demonstration. In this example, when the grey loading bar div is clicked, it animates its width from 0% to 100% (or vice-versa). When the animation is complete, a new child span is created and appended to the 'empty bar' background div, wherein the total percentage is displayed (100%, in this case).
This span element is intentionally removed when the bar is reset.
Do you guys have any ideas as to what's going wrong, and how I can fix it?
I have encountered this error is present in both Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks in advance!
There are multiple problems here.
First off, you need to remove the # from this line
$(description).attr('id', 'progress-total-text');
The new span, was never getting the css it was supposed.
Second, you need to either change your markup or your css.
In this case, I updated the CSS, but the id name don't make sense anymore
body {
width: 100%;
height: 125px;
margin: 0;
}
#progress-category-box {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
font-size: 0;
background-color: red;
}
#progress-total-box {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
top: 32.5%;
float: right;
text-align: center;
background-color: #515A5C;
}
#progress-totalbar-empty {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 1px solid #97b0b1;
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 3;
}
#progress-totalbar-fill {
position: relative;
width: 0%;
height: 100%;
top: -42px;
border-left: 1px solid #97b0b1;
border-top: 1px solid #97b0b1;
border-bottom: 1px solid #97b0b1;
background-color: #00FF00;
z-index: 2;
}
#progress-total-text {
position: relative;
color: black;
top: 30%;
font-size: 15px;
z-index: 3;
}
Thing is, you were showing the animated div over the text.
So I put the text over the animation and put a transparent background behind it.
I applied the grey background to the container instead. I also changed it's height and applied height:100% to it's children.
Here's a full fiddle

How to slide toggle a pseudo element?

As you can see in this jsfiddle, when you click the menu button, the little triangle that points to the button is only shown after the animation has finished. I'd like the animation to start with the pseudo element and only then proceed to the drop-menu element. How can I accomplish this?
A solution doesn't necessarily have to use javascript, CSS3 will be most welcome, I'm not worried about compatibility issues.
You can try this - DEMO
.drop-menu {
display: none;
position: relative;
height: 60px;
top: -20px;
}
.drop-menu ul::before {
content: '';
width: 0;
height: 0;
position: absolute;
top: -30px;
left: 30px;
border-width: 15px;
border-color: transparent transparent red transparent;
border-style: solid;
}
.drop-menu ul {
background-color: red;
position: relative;
top: 20px;
z-index: 999;
}
See http://jsfiddle.net/SZWmd/23/
The problem is that while sliding, the element must have overflow:hidden, but then the triangle is hidden too.
Then, you have to slide .drop-menu ul instead of .drop-menu. You could easily do
$('.drop-menu-button').click(function() {
$('.drop-menu').toggleClass('visible');
$('.drop-menu ul').slideToggle();
});
and use this selector:
.drop-menu.visible::before
But the problem is that when is sliding up, the triangle is hidden at the beginning.
Then, you need
$('.drop-menu-button').click(function() {
if($('.drop-menu').hasClass('visible')){
$('.drop-menu ul').slideUp('',function(){
$('.drop-menu').removeClass('visible');
});
}else{
$('.drop-menu').addClass('visible');
$('.drop-menu ul').slideDown();
}
});
Edit:
You can also use
$('.drop-menu-button').click(function() {
$('.drop-menu').addClass('visible');
$('.drop-menu ul').slideToggle('',function(){
if(!$(this).is(':visible')){
$('.drop-menu').removeClass('visible');
}
});
});

How can I create many divs on on top of the other using CSS/jQuery?

Basically, I want many(>25) divs to be displayed one on top of the other so that only one can be seen at a time. I have the jQuery UI draggable implemented, so once a div is dragged away, the next div is shown. What CSS do I need to make such a stack of divs? jQuery is also available if required.
Thanks!
Try this:
CSS
div.square {
cursor: pointer;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 2px dashed purple;
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 30px;
font-size: 50px;
line-height: 100px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
jQuery + jQueryUI
var count = 25;
var colors = ['red','green','blue','orange','yellow'];
while(count--) {
$('<div/>',{className:'square', text:count}).draggable().css({position:'absolute','z-index':count, text:count, backgroundColor:colors[count % 5]})
.appendTo('body');
}
EDIT:
I just noticed that for some reason in IE and Safari .draggable() overrides the absolute positioning with relative, so you need to set it back to absolute after you made it draggable.
Updated the example above.
http://jsfiddle.net/p9wWA/
You mean something like this?
#relative_container { position: relative; }
#relative_container div { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100px; height: 100px; }
#relative_container div.item_1 { z-index: 100; } /* Higher index means its more on top */
