I want a simple slide down / up animation on a mouse over of a link. I can get the mouse over to work but I can't work out how to get the mouseout to do it's thing.
Here's what I have for the hover effect:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.3.2"); //load version 1.3.2 of jQuery
google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
jQuery(
function($) {
$("a.button").hover(function(){$(this).animate({"marginTop": "0px"}, "fast")
});
});
});
</script>
How do I get this to move the margin up 16px when mouse out?
Answer
The hover event in jQuery needs 2 callback functions: one when the pointer moves over the item, and one when it leaves:
$(item).hover(function() { ... }, function() { ... });
In your case:
$("a.button").hover(
function() {
$(this).animate({"marginTop": "0px"}, "fast");
},
function() {
$(this).animate({"marginTop": "16px"}, "fast");
}
);
