Question

ok thing is like this, I got 2 divs, one is my navigation,
the other got the same number of li tags with almost same id’s as my navigation, those li tags contains a graphic that suppose to slide when hover the nav.
Let me explain…

this is my nav

<ul id="navInside">
  <li><a id="nInicio" href="index.php" >Inicio</a></li>
  <li><a id="nHistoria" href="history.php" >Historia</a></li>
  <li><a id="nQuienes" href="aboutus.php" >Quienes somos</a></li>

this is what should move

<ul id="navSlides">
  <li id="SnInicio"></li>
  <li id="SnHistoria"></li>
  <li id="SnQuienes"></li>

This is the jQuery code i got now….

    $('#navInside li').hover(function (){
    $("#S" + this.id).animate({top: '0px'}, 500)}, function (){
    $("#S" + this.id).animate({top: '-70px'}, 500, 'swing');} 
);  

Can you help me get the right selector for this to work?

I been stuck for days…
Thank you

Answer 1

The id is on the anchor, not the <li> (which this refers to) so your hover should be:

$('#navInside li a').hover(function (){
  $("#S" + this.id).animate({top: '0px'}, 500);
}, function (){
  $("#S" + this.id).animate({top: '-70px'}, 500, 'swing');
});  

Or, use the code you have and move the id up to the <li>, like this:

<ul id="navInside">
  <li id="nInicio"><a href="index.php" >Inicio</a></li>
  <li id="nHistoria"><a href="history.php" >Historia</a></li>
  <li id="nQuienes"><a href="aboutus.php" >Quienes somos</a></li>
