Question

When “hover” triggers this code:

jQuery('#test').animate({opacity: 1},300);

And user hovers and unhovers very quickly the “#test” item blinks for a long time (of course opacity is being animated to 1 on hover and to 0 on unhover).

Adding stop() always worked for me:

jQuery('#test').stop().animate({opacity: 1},300);

The point is I have to use fadeIn() and fadeOut() and I’m not sure how to avoid blinking in this case?

Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/caHq5/ (move your pointer very fast from the dark square to the background, then to the square, then to the background and so forth). stops() do nothing.

Answer 1

Is this the effect you were after?

jQuery(document).ready(function() {    
    jQuery('#container').hover(function(){
        jQuery('#wrong').stop().fadeTo(200,1);
            },function() {
        jQuery('#wrong').stop().fadeTo(200,0);
            });
});

If really you want the element to be hidden after it has faded, as opposed to just invisible:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {    
    jQuery('#container').hover(function(){
        jQuery('#wrong').stop().show().fadeTo(200,1);
            },function() {
        jQuery('#wrong').stop().fadeTo(200,0, function() {$(this).hide()});
            });
});
