Question

I have a simple jquery function that fades in an overlay on hover of an image:

if($(".portfolioThumbs").length>0){
$(".magnify").css("opacity","0");
$(".magnify").hover(function(){$(this).stop().animate({opacity:1},"slow")},function()     {$(this).stop().animate({opacity:0},"slow")}
)};

How can I get this same effect to work on mobile? I read somewhere you can use ‘touchstart’ and ‘touchend’ – if that is right, how could I combine that into this function?

Thanks!

Answer 1

maybe something like that could work.

var hoverStart = function(evt){
    $(this).stop().animate({
        opacity:1
    },"slow")
};
var hoverEnd = function(evt)     {
    $(this).stop().animate({
        opacity:0
    },"slow")
}
if($(".portfolioThumbs").length>0){
    $(".magnify").css("opacity","0");
    $(".magnify").bind('touchstart',hoverStart);
    $(".magnify").bind('touchend',hoverEnd);
    $(".magnify").hover(hoverStart, hoverEnd);
}
