Yes, it does work. I just have a couple follow up questions. When I first load the page, the element that's supposed to be hidden is displayed. Is there a way to modify it so that it doesn't display until someone mouses over the yellow "MS-Free" thingy? I put a working example online at http://ww

No, it isn't working. I deleted the JavaScript that previously controlled it, then I looked for any CSS styles that might have been interfering with it. I looked at the page with the Firebug console, and it doesn't report any errors. I know I'm conneced to my JQuery scripts because some JQuery tab

So should the code in my head section look something like this?: $(document).ready(function() { $("#myTable").tablesorter({ widgets: [\'zebra\']} ); $(\'#MSFree\').mouseover(function() { $(\'#menu2\').show(); }); $(\'#MSFree\').mouseout(function() { $(\'#menu2\').hide(); });

The .show() and .hide() functions are on-demand functions -- they'll happen immediately when the code is called. What you need to do is observe the user's actions and show/hide the div based on what they are doing. For that, you can use .mouseover() and .mouseout with callback functions. The callb

jQuery has built in show() / hide() methods. The syntax would look something like this: $('#someElement').show(); $('#someElement').hide(); Where someElement was a container with an ID. andy _ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Blomstrom
