I defy anyone to make this simpler (and work as well)!!!!!
A true 3 state button http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/3statebutton_6.html (document).ready(function(){ $("#showPic").hover(function() { $("#hover").removeClass("hidden"); }, function() { $("#hover").addClass("hidden"); }); $("#showPic").mousedown(function() { $("#hover").addClass("hidden"); $("#normal").addClass("hidden"); }); $("#showPic").mouseup(function() { $("#normal").removeClass("hidden"); }); }); From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mitchell Waite Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 7:34 PM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: Toggling an objects visiblty without show and hide Ok here is the skinny (I think I am getting this down) http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/3statebutton_3.html (uses layers) $(document).ready(function(){ $("#showPic").hover(function() { $("#normal").addClass("hidden"); }, function() { $("#normal").removeClass("hidden"); }); }); The hover button is under the normal button layer so all we have to do is hide and unhide the normal button. http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/3statebutton_4.html (no layers) $(document).ready(function(){ $("#showPic").hover(function() { $("#hover").removeClass("hidden"); $("#normal").addClass("hidden"); }, function() { $("#hover").addClass("hidden"); $("#normal").removeClass("hidden"); }); }); Since both bottons are in the same div they can't both be on at the same , or you would see them side by side. So you hide and unhide both buttons. More processing but less divs. Mitch
