单击LI时单击链接

Question

Ok, I have this list layout that I use, and I want the list row to highlight when I hover it. Now, that's not a problem really, since I can use javascript to change classes for example, but I want the cursor to change to a pointer when hovering and when clicked, I want to follow the link within.

Example code can be found here:

I also want to highlight the LI only when there is an eligible link inside it. Preferably using jQuery... Any ideas?

I've edited the code to incorporate the suggestion below, and the problem is that the click() action fires when I click other items inside the LI...

Right, so now I've edited the code. I've added a class to the link(s) that SHOULD be followed on click, and then a event.stopPropagation() on the links that does NOT have this class, so they are handeled by the browser accordingly.

Thanks again!

Answer 1

jQuery('li:has(a)')
    .css('cursor', 'pointer')
    .hover(function(){
        jQuery(this).addClass('highlight');
    }, function(){
        jQuery(this).removeClass('highlight');
    })
    .click(function(e){
        if (e.target === this) {
            window.location = jQuery('a', this).attr('href');
        }
    });

This worked for me

$('#element li').hover(function() { 
        $(this).animate({ 
          backgroundColor: "#4CC9F2" 
        }, "normal") 
      }, function() { 
        $(this).animate({ 
          backgroundColor: "#34BFEC" 
        }, "normal") 
      });

I used jquery.color.js plugin it animates really nice hover effect color change
