Question

I have to create the effect of bordered when I hover over element and vice versa.

I managed to do it, but the problem is that every time I hover over one of those elements I cancel the hovering effect on the element I was hovering over.

When I hover over with id=”12345img” gets border and with id=”12345a” gets color effect. When I do it vice versa it also works, but only for the first time I’m hovering over it.

This is the code.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $('.portfolioProject a').hover(function () {
            var idElement = this.id;
            $("#" + idElement.replace('a', '') + "img").css('border', '2px solid #cdfc5d');
            $("#" + idElement + "a").css('color', '#cdfc5d');
        });

        $('.portfolioProject a').mouseleave(function () {
            var idElement = this.id
            $("#" + idElement.replace('a', '') + "img").css('border', 'none');
            $("#" + idElement + "a").css('color', 'white');
        });

        $('.portfolioImage img').hover(function () {
            var idElement = this.id;
            $("#" + idElement.replace('img', '') + "a").css('color', '#cdfc5d');
            $("#" + idElement + "img").css('border', '2px solid #cdfc5d');
        });

        $('.portfolioImage img').mouseleave(function () {
            var idElement = this.id
            $("#" + idElement.replace('img', '') + "a").css('color', 'white');
            $("#" + idElement + "img").css('border', 'none');
        });
    });
</script>

My question is how to fix it to make it work every time.

I think you have to create CSS class for the mouse hover effect, Then you just Have to Toggle the class on event:

Jquery:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".portfolioImageWrapper").on('mouseenter mouseleave', ".img", function () {
                  $(this).toggleClass('imgHover');
                  $("#" + (this.id).replace('img', '') + "a").toggleClass('imgHover');  
              });
        });

HTML:

<div class='portfolioProject'>
    <ul>
        <h2>
            <li>
    <a id='7a' href='#'> Link1</a>
            </li>
        </h2>
        <h2>
            <li>
                <a id='8a' href='#'> Link 2 </a>
            </li>
        </h2>
    </ul>
</div>
<div class='portfolioImageWrapper'>
    <div class='portfolioImage'><a href='#'><img class="img" src='#' alt='Image1' title='Image 1' id='7img' /></a></div><div class='portfolioImage'><a href='#'><img class="img" src='#' alt='Image 2' title='Image2' id='8img' /></a></div></div>

​CSS:

    .imgHover
{
    border-style: dotted;
    border-width: 1px;
    color: red;
    text-decoration: none;
}​

You can toggle a different css class to your links for sure. Just modify this in jquery code (in the toggleClass function) and add the class to the css part
