hi everyone, what i want to accomplish in general: i have a text field which has a filename as the value. when hovering the field, a div should slide in from the bottom of the field and show a preview of this image. currently i'm using the following jquery-code:
function rexShowMediaPreview() { var value; if($(this).hasClass("rex-widget-media")) value = $("input[type=text]", this).val(); else value = $("select", this).val(); var div = $(".rex-media-preview", this); var url = '../index.php?rex_resize=246a__'+ value; if(value && value.length != 0 && ( value.substr(-3) == "png" || value.substr(-3) == "gif" || value.substr(-3) == "bmp" || value.substr(-3) == "jpg" || value.substr(-4) == "jpeg") ) { div.html('<img src="'+ url +'" />'); div.slideDown("slow"); } else { div.slideUp("slow"); } }; $(".rex-widget-media.rex-widget-preview, .rex-widget-medialist.rex- widget-preview") .bind("mouseenter", rexShowMediaPreview) .bind("mouseleave", function() { var div = $(".rex-media-preview", this); div.slideUp("slow"); }); the markup looks like the following: <div class="rex-widget"> <div class="rex-widget-media rex-widget-preview"> <p class="rex-widget-field"> <input type="text" size="30" name="MEDIA[2]" value="myimg.jpg" id="REX_MEDIA_2" readonly="readonly" /> </p> <div class="rex-media-preview"></div> </div> </div> this doesn't work well... (when leaving the div while sliding in, the div immediatly slides out...) is someony able to give me a hint...? i suppose it would be much better if the mouseleave eventhandler would be bound when the slide in animation finished (while unbinding the mouseenter handler) and the same while sliding out vice versa... any ideas?
