  • 0

I have a div that is hidden when the page loads (usling display: none;) and I want it to fadeIn and out while the mouse comes over it. Unfortunately, the mouseenter event does not get sent while the css attribute display: none; is set. Is there a workaround to this?

div.overlay {
    display: block;
    visibility: hidden;
    width: 860px;
    height: 279px;

    background-color: rgb(0,0,0);

    position: absolute;
    margin-top: -279px;

    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
}

EDIT: the page I’m talking about is here: http://alexzielenski.com/v2/

    Edit:

    <html>
    <head>
        <style>
            html {
                height: 100%;
                width: 100%;
            }
            div.overlay {
                visibility: hidden;
                display: block;
                width: 860px;
                height: 279px;

                background-color: rgb(0,0,0);

                position: relative;
                margin-top: -279px;

                -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
                -moz-border-radius: 5px;
                border-radius: 5px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div onmouseenter="alert('now animate the div inside');">
            <div class="overlay">
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

    The below won’t work since neither “visibility : hidden” or “display : none” will trigger any mouse events:

    display: block; visibility: hidden

    The problem is that using

    display: none

    will not render the object to the document.
