Hi I am trying to group a series of mouseover events to one but I am really new to javascript and getting really confused. I have 5 buttons like the one bellow and I want to create one function to include them all. I use the class of the divs for another function not included here. I believe that I have to use the ids for the mouseover.
$('#trigger1').mouseover(function(){
$('#roll1r').fadeOut('slow');
});

I use the conditional to define which element I want to hide but I am not sure how to define the variables and pass them to the fade out function. I have tried all sort of syntax to pass it as a string but I don't understand what is the problem.
$('#trigger1, #trigger2, #trigger3').mouseover(function () {
var roll = null;
var that = $(this);
if (that==="#trigger1"){roll = "$('#roll1r')";}
else if(that==="#trigger2"){roll ="$('#roll2r')";}
else if(that==="#trigger3"){roll = "$('#roll3r')";}
console.log(roll);
roll.fadeOut({
duration:300,
// fail: that.hide()
});
});
