Building simple jQuery plugin, need assistance
- by kirisu_kun
Hi there,
I'm building my first ever jQuery plugin (it's just a simple experiment). Here's what I have so far:
(function($){
$.fn.extend({
auchieFader: function(options) {
var defaults = {
mask: '',
topImg : '',
}
var options = $.extend(defaults, options);
return this.each(function() {
var o = options;
var obj = $(this);
var masker = $(o.mask, obj);
masker.hover(function () {
$(o.topImg).stop().animate({
"opacity": "0"
}, "slow");
}, function () {
$(o.topImg).stop().animate({
"opacity": "1"
}, "slow");
});
});
}
});
})(jQuery);
I'm then calling the plugin using:
$('.fader').auchieFader({mask: ".mask", topImg: ".top"});
If I then add another request say:
$('.fader2').auchieFader({mask: ".mask", topImg: ".top"});
Then no matter what instance of my 2 faders I hover both of them will trigger. I know this is because my mask mask and topImg options have the same class - but how can I modify the plugin to allow for these items to have the same class? I know it's probably something really simple, but I'm still finding my way with jQuery and Javascript in general. Any other tips on improving my code would also be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris
