Hi folks,
I am encountering an odd behavior using
jQuery to show/hide a menu.
I have an absolutely positioned div which contains an "activator " div (relatively positioned) which I want to reveal a menu on moseover. Menu div is contained by the activator div and is also relatively positioned. I was working on assumption that since it would be contained by the activator that rolloff would not be triggered when the mouse travels over into the reveled menu. When you roll onto the revealed menu however show/hide starts pulsing and does so a second or so even after the mouse clears the area.
CSS looks like this
#myAbsolutePos {
position:absolute;
height:335px;
width:213px;
top:508px;
left:0;
z-index:2;
}
#activator {
position:relative;
height:35px;
margin-top:95px;
text-align:center;
width:inherit;
cursor:pointer;
}
#menu {
position:relative;
height:255px;
width:243px;
top:-45px;
left:190px;
padding:20px 25px 20px 25px;
}
#menuContents {
width:190px;
}
jQuery funcs:
$('#activator').mouseover(function () {
$('#menu').show('slow');
});
$('#activator').mouseout(function () {
$('#menu').hide('slow');
});
HTML:
<div id="myAbsolutePos">
<div id="activator">
// content
<div id="menu" style="display:none">
<div id="menuContents">
// content
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
