CSS Hover stops working after button has been clicked on once

Question

I have a styling issue I can't solve. I've got a simple toggle with two options -- the user can either click on Toggle1 or Toggle2 , and the page will update dynamically with different data depending on which toggle is active:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
  <title>replit</title>
  <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>
  <div id="toggle1">Toggle 1</div>
  <div id="toggle2">Toggle 2</div>
</body>

</html>

When a toggle is selected/active, it should have a blue background. When a toggle is NOT selected, it should have a white background + orange background on hover. On page load, toggle1 is selected by default.

This all works perfectly on initial page load -- toggle1 is selected and blue, and toggle2 is white with orange hover. When I click on toggle2, it turns blue, and toggle1 goes back to white.

However, after I've clicked between the toggles, the orange hover effect stops working . I can't figure out why this would be. Is it because the elements are being registered as "active" after they've been clicked or something? I can't figure it out.

I've tried using both css and jQuery to attach the hover effect:

CSS:

#toggle1:hover, #toggle2:hover {
  background: lightblue;
}

jQuery:

$(toggle1).hover(
    function () {
      $(this).addClass("blue");
    },
    function () {
      $(this).removeClass("blue");
    }
  );

  $(toggle2).hover(
    function () {
      $(this).addClass("blue");
    },
    function () {
      $(this).removeClass("blue");
    }
  );

They are both successful in adding the hover effect on page load, but not after a toggle has been clicked. Hover stops working entirely.

As far as the onClick function, that's in Javascript:

JS:

const showToggle1 = () => {
    // ...code to show toggle 1 content 

    // change background colors from blue to white
    $(toggle2).css({ background: "#FFFFFF", color: "#000000" });
    $(toggle1).css({ background: "#0074d9", color: "#FFFFFF" });
}

const showToggle2 = () => {
    // code to show toggle 2 content

    // change background colors from blue to white
    $(toggle1).css({ background: "#FFFFFF", color: "#000000" });
    $(toggle2).css({ background: "#0074d9", color: "#FFFFFF" });
}

All I can think is that there must be something that happens when the onClick functions run that interferes with the Hover, but I can't figure out what that would be.

I couldn't figure out the cause of the output you are having, but all I can do is to suggest another method. Use the following html, css and js:

 toggle1 = document.querySelector("#toggle1"); toggle2 = document.querySelector("#toggle2"); const showToggle1 = () => { //Show the Toggle1 Content toggle1.classList.add('selected'); toggle2.classList.remove('selected'); } const showToggle2 = () => { //Show the Toggle2 Content toggle2.classList.add('selected'); toggle1.classList.remove('selected'); }

 .toggle{ background: white; color: black; }.toggle:hover{ color: orange; }.toggle.selected{ background: blue; color: white; }.toggle.selected:hover{ color: white; }

 <div id="toggle1" class="toggle selected" onclick="showToggle1()">Toggle1</div> <div id="toggle2" class="toggle" onclick="showToggle2()">Toggle2</div>

That's it. That should work.
