How does stackoverflow does that hovering effect on a tag of a question? How to do the same using jquery?
EDIT:
Not that mouseover i want the submenu showing Add Jquery to favorite tags
This should do the work.
I have coded it almost exactly the way Stack Overflow does. I built upon the button already created by @Reigel.
HTML:
<a href="#" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged 'mousehover'" rel="tag">Ruby-on-Rails</a>
<a href="#" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged 'mousehover'" rel="tag">JQuery</a>
<a href="#" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged 'mousehover'" rel="tag">CSS</a>
<div class="mouseoverHoverBox">
<span class="pointer">
<span class="plusminus">+</span>
<span class="addRemove">Add </span>
<span class="insert"></span>
<span class="fromTo"> To </span>
<span>Interesting tags</span>
</span>
<br />
<span class="pointer">
<span class="plusminus">+</span>
<span class="addRemove">Add</span>
<span class="insert"></span>
<span class="fromTo"> To </span>
<span>Ignored tags</span>
</span>
</div>
CSS:
.post-tag {
position:relative;
background-color: #E0EAF1;
border-bottom: 1px solid #3E6D8E;
border-right: 1px solid #7F9FB6;
color: #3E6D8E;
font-size: 90%;
line-height: 2.4;
margin: 2px 0px 2px 0px;
padding: 3px 4px;
text-decoration: none;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.post-tag:hover {
position:relative;
background-color:#3E6D8E;
color:#E0EAF1;
border-bottom:1px solid #37607D;
border-right:1px solid #37607D;
text-decoration:none;
}
.mouseoverHoverBox {
position:relative;
top: -6px;
border: 2px ridge #CCC;
padding: 10px;
width: 250px;
}
.plusminus {
color: #E45C0E;
}
.pointer {
cursor: pointer;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
color: #3E6D8E;
}
JAVASCRIPT:
$('.mouseoverHoverBox').hide();
$('.post-tag').live('mouseover',function(e){
var x = $(this).offset();
$('.mouseoverHoverBox').css('left',x.left-10);
$('.insert').html(' <b>'+$(this).text() + '</b> ');
$('.mouseoverHoverBox').slideDown();
});
$('.pointer').live('mouseover mouseout', function(e){
if(e.type=="mouseover") {
$(this).css('text-decoration','underline');
}else if(e.type="mouseout") {
$(this).css('text-decoration','none');
}
});
$('.pointer').toggle(function() {
$(this).find('.plusminus').text('x ');
$(this).find('.addRemove').text('Remove ');
$(this).find('.fromTo').text('From');
}, function() {
$(this).find('.plusminus').text('+ ');
$(this).find('.addRemove').text('Add ');
$(this).find('.fromTo').text('To');
});
$('.mouseoverHoverBox').mouseleave(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
