Newbie Q: JQuery Hover and Click Menu
in Using jQuery
•
13 years ago
Hi I'm trying to implement a site using a JQuery menu that fades and changes content instantly on click. That functionality is working fine; however, I'd like to add a hover event that changes gray menu item to black (opacity = 1 ) when users mouse over the content (just like a css hover effect on a link). Additionally, I'd like for "home" to always have an opacity of 1 (remain black) but still operate as a navigational jquery button (not simply a hyperlink to the website).
Thanks in advance for your help!
