jQuery menu - keep menu active on dropdown hover
Question
here is a link to jsfiddle I am writing a jquery menu that will meet my needs. I know that there is no need to reinvert the wheel here but it also is a learning experience.
Also, I know the code is ugly but I will restructure and clean it up later once I have it working properly.
My problem is that when i hover over the dropdown links, it disappears. I want it to stay there and the parent menu active. Any help is appreciated.
Here is some code:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="menu-item"></div>
<div class="menu-text">text</div>
<div class="dropdown">
<div class="dropdown-item"><a href="#">item 1</a></div>
<div class="dropdown-item"><a href="#">item 2</a></div>
<div class="dropdown-item"><a href="#">item 3</a></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><div class="menu-item"></div><div class="menu-text">texttexttext</div></li>
<li><div class="menu-item"></div><div class="menu-text">tetexttexttexttexttexttexttextxt</div></li>
</ul>
</div>
<script>
$(function() {
$("div.menu-text").mouseover(function () {
$(this).prevAll('div.menu-item').animate({height: '100%'},
{
duration: 700,
specialEasing: {height: 'easeOutQuint'}
}
);
if($(this).siblings('div.dropdown').is(':hidden')){
$(this).siblings('div.dropdown').slideDown();
}
});
$("div.menu-text").mouseout(function () {
$(this).prevAll('div.menu-item').animate({height: '10px'}, 700);
if($(this).siblings('div.dropdown').is(':visible')){
$(this).siblings('div.dropdown').slideUp();
}
});
$("div.dropdown-item a").hover(function () {
$(this).parent().siblings('div.menu-item').css("display","block");
$(this).parent().css("display","block");
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here is the CSS:
li {
background-color: #ccc;
position: relative;
color: #fff;
z-index: -2;
float: left;
}
div.menu-item {
background-color: #000;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 10px;
z-index: -1;
}
div.menu-text {
color: #fff;
margin: 0;
padding: 20px 10px;
}
div.dropdown {
display: none;
position: absolute;
}
div.dropdown-item a {
padding: 10px;
background-color: #1E4b55;
display: block;
white-space: nowrap;
}

There is a lot of room for improvement in your JS, but this will do the trick:
$(function() {
$("li").hover(
function() {
$(this).find('div.menu-item').animate({height: '100%'},
{
duration: 700,
specialEasing: {
height: 'easeOutQuint'
}
});
if($(this).find('div.dropdown').is(':hidden')) {
$(this).find('div.dropdown').slideDown();
}
},
function() {
$(this).find('div.menu-item').animate({height: '10px'}, 700);
if($(this).find('div.dropdown').is(':visible')){
$(this).find('div.dropdown').slideUp();
}
}
);
});
I'm using .hover() which takes two functions, the first for when hover starts, the second for when hover ends. You also need to move this to a parent element (the li ) so the hovering is persisted while over top child elements.

See this: http://jsfiddle.net/Y9knm/
$(function () {
$("li").hover(
function () {
$(this).find('div.menu-item').stop().animate({
height: '100%'
}, {
duration: 700,
specialEasing: {
height: 'easeOutQuint'
}
});
$(this).find('div.dropdown').slideDown();
},
function () {
$(this).find('div.menu-item').stop().animate({
height: '10px'
}, 700);
$(this).find('div.dropdown').stop().slideUp();
});
});

The jsfiddle example is not complete. Requires the jquery easing library. Not included in the jsfiddle example.
