Jquery Accordion and Fading
- by Slick Willis
I am trying to create a jquery accordion that fades the header of the accordion out when the page is loaded then fades it in when the mouse hovers. The accordion also opens when the mouse hovers. I am able to get all of this working, the problem I am having is when the accordion opens the header moves away and the mouse is no longer on it to keep it lit. I would like the links to keep the header lit as well as if the mouse is on the header itself. Below is the code that I wrote for it.
<html>
<head
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://accidentalwords.squarespace.com/storage/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://accidentalwords.squarespace.com/storage/jquery/jquery-custom-181/jquery-ui-1.8.1.custom.min.js'></script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="black">
<style = "css/text">
.links {
font-family: "Georgia", "Verdana", serif;
line-height: 30px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
.Title {
font-family: "Geneva", "Verdana", serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 2em;
text-align: left;
font-variant: small-caps;
border-bottom: solid 2px #25FF00;
padding-bottom:5px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".Title").fadeTo(1,0.25);
$(".Title").hover(function () {
$(this).stop().fadeTo(250,1)
.closest(".Title").find(".links").fadeTo(250,0.75);
},
function() {
$(this).stop().fadeTo(250,0.25);
});
});
$(function() {
$("#accordion").accordion({
event: "mouseover"
});
});
</script>
