I have created a simple layout above that shows the concept of what I am trying to achieve. What I want to do now is to make a CSS3 transition that will allow the child to ease in when the parent is hovered. However, I do not know where to place the transition code so it will work.
For the child div that is hidden, use height: 0;
and overflow: hidden;
instead of display: none;
, Then add a specified height on the child shown when hovered. This will allow for the transition to take place.
I would do something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/atjG8/1/
.parent {
background: red;
}
.child {
overflow: hidden;
height: 0;
background: blue;
-webkit-transition: all .8s ease;
-moz-transition: all .8s ease;
-ms-transition: all .8s ease;
-o-transition: all .8s ease;
transition: all .8s ease;
color: white;
}
.parent:hover > .child {
height: 30px;
display: block;
}
Colors were added for example...
