Hover over to reveal a subtle fade-in effect on the thumbnail image

Here is the code for the gallery:

<div class="jTscrollerContainer">
    <div class="jTscroller">
        <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img1.jpg" /></a>
        <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img2.jpg" /></a>
        <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img3.jpg" /></a>
        <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img4.jpg" /></a>
        <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img5.jpg" /></a>
    </div>
</div>

I would like to add a title to each image and have it appear with a fade effect when the user hovers over the image, similar to a tooltip but positioned above the images (like in the screenshot). However, I'm not sure if I can achieve this by manipulating the title tag... Could you please provide some guidance on how to accomplish this? I am uncertain about which method would be most suitable. Thank you!

Answer №1

Here is the code I've written for you, feel free to make any improvements. It's very similar to the first answer.

 <div class="jTscrollerContainer">
     <div class="jTscroller">
         <span id="tt" style="display:none;"></span>
         <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img1.jpg" data-title="title" /></a>
         <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img2.jpg" data-title="title" /></a>
         <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img3.jpg" data-title="title" /></a>
         <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img4.jpg" data-title="title" /></a>
         <a href="#"><img src="thumbs/img5.jpg" data-title="title" /></a>
     </div>
 </div>

And here is the corresponding javascript:

 var link = $('.jTscroller a');

 link.bind('mouseenter', function(){
     var tag = $('#tt');

     tag.html($(this).find('img').data('title'));


     $('#tt').fadeIn('slow');
 });

 link.bind('mouseleave', function(){
     $('#tt').fadeOut('slow');
 });

Update: You can view a demo on this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/nVKyL/

Update 2: There was an error with the prepend tag in the previous code, my apologies ;)

"Could you provide some tips on how to accomplish this?"

One helpful suggestion is to create a span within the jTscrollerContainer element and give it an id like "tooltip", setting its display property to none in the CSS. When the mouse hovers over an image using jQuery's .hover() function, grab the position and title of the image with .position() and .attr('title'). Update the CSS for #tooltip to make the span visible (display: block), adjust its position (using top and left with either absolute or relative positioning), and change its text content with .text(image.title). Hopefully, this helps you achieve what you're aiming for.

Answer №3

Not tested, but here's an idea that comes to mind - if you include a title tag in your image:

    $("a").hover(function(){ 
         var thisTitle = $(this.find("img").attr("title") 
         $("<p class='tooltip' />").appendTo($(this)).hide().html(thisTitle).fadeIn(1000);
    }, function(){
          $(".tooltip").fadeOut(1000, function(){
               $(this).remove();
        });
});

You can then customize each one to be positioned absolutely or relatively relative to the anchor tag.
