Here is where I am having difficulty:
$('div.sidebar_content_con').hover(function () {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').slideDown(500, function() {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').fadeIn(500);
});
},function(){
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').slideUp(500)
$('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').fadeOut(500);
});
The problem is that multiple hover events can fire while the slideDown and fadeIn animations are occurring. Ideally, only 1 hover event should be firing and if the user is no longer hovering over the div.sidebar_content_con it should stop the animation right there.
Add in some stop()
s
$('div.sidebar_content_con').hover(function () {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').stop(true, true).slideDown(500, function() {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').stop(true, true).fadeIn(500);
});
},function(){
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').stop(true, true).slideUp(500)
$('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').stop(true, true).fadeOut(500);
});
You could use stopImmediatePropagation() on the event to avoid it bubbling aup and firing other events
$('div.sidebar_content_con').hover(function (event) {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
$('div.sidebar_content_con').hover(function () {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').stop(true, true).slideDown(500, function()
Try adding .stop() to the chain of functions (http://api.jquery.com/stop/):
$('div.sidebar_content_con').hover(function () {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').stop().slideDown(500, function() {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').stop().fadeIn(500);
});
},function(){
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').stop().slideUp(500)
$('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').stop().fadeOut(500);
});
You need to stop the propagation of the event with the stop()
method.
$('div.sidebar_content_con').hover(function () {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').stop('true, true).slideDown(500, function() {
$(this).children('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').stop('true, true).fadeIn(500);
});
},function(){
$(this).children('.sidebar_details_container').stop('true, true).slideUp(500)
$('.sidebar_details, .sidebar_click').stop('true, true).fadeOut(500);
});
