I'm working with a 3D rotating button in which each face has a different phrase, but both are links to the same URL. I initially was rotating the cube button with a plain old css :hover, but I noticed that when you click the button it resets. It should only rotate back to its starting position if your mouse is no longer on the button.
I have created a pen that uses all of my markup and styling, and I've tried four methods of adding a class called 'flip' to style on hover, but each of these four methods have the same effect as the plain old css :hover method, they reset on a mouse click. I've commented #2, 3, and 4 out in the pen just because they are all yielding the same result, and the first is just a simple 'toggleClass' method. Here's the four JS snippets and a link to the pen.
// #1 Story Button Toggle Class On Hover To Rotate - Resets on Click
$('.story-button').hover(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('flip');
return false;
});
// #2 Story Button Add/Remove Class On Hover To Rotate - Resets on Click
$('.story-button').hover(
function () {
$(this).addClass('flip');
},
function () {
$(this).removeClass('flip');
}
);
// #3 Story Button Add/Remove Class on 'mouseover To Rotate - F's Up the markup/styles on mouseover
$('.story-button').mouseover(function(){
$(this).removeClass().addClass('flip');
}).mouseout(function(){
$(this).removeClass().addClass('flip');
});
// #4 Story Button Add/Remove Class on 'mouseenter' and 'mouseleave' To Rotate - Still Rotates back on click
$('.story-button')
.mouseenter(function() {
$(this).addClass('flip');
})
.mouseleave(function() {
$(this).removeClass('flip');
});
And the link to the pen: http://codepen.io/andandandandrew/pen/OPXOxP?editors=011
Thanks in advance for the help/advice!
PS, If anyone has any idea why this would work on codepen but not on my local mamp server (building a wordpress site, using codekit with no JSHint errors when compiled/minified) that would be super.
