Question

I have done the following code for a list of pics, when the user mouseover the picture an alt is showing up:

I would like to know if there is anyway I can move the mouseover’ed element only and not all of them like i do now.

#{list items:gallery.listPictures(), as:'picture'}
    <a class="pic" href="@{Galleries.showPicture(picture.id)}"><img src="@{Application.getPicture(picture.id)}" alt="${picture.name}" />
        <span class="alt">${picture.name}</span>
    </a>
#{/list}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$(".pic").mouseover(function(event){
    $(".alt").css({'top': event.pageY, 'left': event.pageX});  
});

});

Answer 1

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$(".pic").mouseover(function(event){
    $(this).find(' > span').css({'top': event.pageY, 'left': event.pageX});  
});
</script>

Notice the $(this). Inside a jQuery function this will access the current element that fired the event.

See jQuery selectors and jQuery child-selector and jQuery .find()
