Question

When mouse is over the image, span content slides down after two seconds, also when I move cursor out of image, after two seconds span slides up, that’s work fine.

I want to span be displayed if someone move mouse over that span too, and there my problem begins…

I do not know if I was clear enough but I think the code will tell you more than words 🙂

HTML:

<img id="image" src="button_green.png" />
<span id="content">
    <a href="http://www.google.com">Link</a>
    Some content here
</span>

CSS:

#image{
   left:0px;
   position:absolute;
   z-index: 10;
}
#content{
   top:48px;
   left:0px;
   position:absolute;
   height: 100px;
   border: 1px solid #f00;
   display: block;
   z-index: 0;
   width: 100px;
}

JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#content').hide();
    var over_img = false;
    var over_span = false;
    $('#image').live('mouseover', function() {
        over_img = true;
        setTimeout(function() {
            $('#content').show('slide', {
                direction: 'up'
            }, 1000);
        }, 2000);
    });
    $('#content').live('mouseover', function() {
        over_span = true;
        setTimeout(function() {
            $('#content').show('slide', {
                direction: 'up'
            }, 1000);
        }, 2000);
    });
    $('#image').live('mouseout', function() {
        over_img = false;
        if (!over_img && !over_span) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('#content').hide("slide", {
                    direction: "up"
                }, 1000);
            }, 2000);
        }
    });
    $('#content').live('mouseout', function() {
        over_span = false;
        if (!over_img && !over_span) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('#content').hide("slide", {
                    direction: "up"
                }, 1000);
            }, 2000);
        }
    });
});

Thanks in advance!

For jQuery 1.7+ use on() instead of .live() wich is deprecated.

I believe this should solve your problem:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var T1, T2;
    $('#content').hide();
    $('body').on({
        mouseenter: function() {
            clearTimeout(T2);
            T1 = setTimeout(function() {
                 $('#content').slideDown(1000);
            }, 2000);
        },
        mouseleave: function() {
            clearTimeout(T1);
            T2 = setTimeout(function() {
                 $('#content').slideUp(1000);
            }, 2000);    
        }
    }, '#image, #content');
});​
