So, I have a ul list like so:
<ul id="fruits"> <li id="apple">apple</li> <li id="orange">orange</li> <li id="grape">grape</li> </ul> I also have a div that is currently displaying an image of an apple using a background image: <div id="fruit-display"></div> where #fruit-display {background: url(images/image_apple.jpg)} I want to be able to change the image as I hover over the different items on the list. I have something like this: $('#fruits li').mouseover(function() { id = $(this).attr('id'); menuId = '#' + id image = 'url(images/image_' + id + '.jpg)' $(menuId).mouseover(function(){ $('#fruit-display').css("backgroundImage", image); }); }); but, of course, those images won't be ready until after you've hovered over a list item. I mean, I can hover over orange, but it will still show an image of the apple until I hover over another fruit and then back again on orange. How can I get the orange to show up exactly when I hover over the list item called orange? Thanks much! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/use-.each--hover-over-list-items-to-change-contents-of-div-tp20054196s27240p20054196.html Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
