Question

 $(".post").hover(function(){
            $(".buttons input", this).show();

        });

What’s the easiest way to make the same element hide again once mouse goes off .post? I’ trying to make something similar to youtube posts (buttons are shown/hidden on mouse on)

Answer 1

Show the markup

Based on assumption,

$(".post").hover(function(){
      $(".buttons input", this).fadeIn('slow');
},
function(){
 $(".buttons input", this).fadeOut('slow');
});
