Question

I have two seperate animations that are occurring, one fires on mouseenter the other on click. The problem is that when they are both activated it creates a jumpy animation.

You can see what I mean here: JSFiddle

Is it possible to prevent the mouseenter event from occurring if the click event is activated?

Javascript

$('header h1').mouseenter(function() {
  $('header:not(.open)').delay(500).animate({
    'padding-bottom': '40px'
  }, 150, function() {
    //function complete
  });
});

$('header h1').mouseleave(function() {
  $('header:not(.open)').animate({
    'padding-bottom': '20px'
  }, 150, function() {
    //function complete
  });
});

$('header h1').click(function() {

  if ($('header').hasClass('open')) {
    $('header p').fadeOut(100);
    $('header').removeClass('open').animate({
      'padding-bottom': '20px'
    }, 300, function() {
      //animation complete
    });
  }

  else {
    $('header').addClass('open').animate({
      'padding-bottom': '150px'
    }, 300, function() {
      $('header p').fadeIn();
    });
  }

});​

Seems easier to just do this :

$('header').on({
    mouseenter: function(e) {
        if (!$(this).is('.open')) {
            $(this).stop(true, true).delay(500).animate({'padding-bottom': '40px' }, 150, function() {
                //function complete
            });
        }
    },
    mouseleave: function(e) {
        if (!$(this).is('.open')) {
            $(this).stop(true, true).animate({'padding-bottom': '20px'}, 150, function() {
            //function complete
            });
        }
    },
    click: function() {
        if ($(this).is('.open')) {
            $(this).find('p').fadeOut(100).end().removeClass('open').stop(true, true).animate({'padding-bottom': '20px'}, 300, function() {
                //animation complete
            });
        }else{
            $(this).addClass('open').stop(true, true).animate({'padding-bottom': '150px'}, 300, function() {
                $('p', this).fadeIn();
            });
        }
    }
});​
