If you're looking to add interactive hover effects to your website, I suggest using the hover() function from the jQuery library. First, you'll need to include the jQuery library in your project by adding it to the <head> section of your HTML document. This step is crucial for the script I'm about to share with you to work properly. Once the jQuery library is loaded, you can proceed to write the actual script using jQuery.
The hover() function consists of two parts: one that triggers on mouse-enter event and another that triggers on mouse-out event. You can see this functionality in action in this JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/h9ocupsh/1/
To implement the hover function, your script will look something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".hoverable").hover(function(){
$("#submenu").show();
}, function(){
$("#submenu").hide();
});
});
Make sure to identify the <li> element that triggers the hover function by using a specific class like "hoverable". You can customize this by changing the class or id in the script accordingly. For example, if you want to use an id "hover" instead of a class, you would modify it to: $("#hover").
Don't forget to position the submenu according to your preferences if needed.
I've provided a link to the jQuery library for your convenience - simply include it in your HTML file before the jQuery scripts.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
Optional: You can adjust the timing of the show() and hide() functions to control the speed of displaying or hiding elements. Simply add a value in milliseconds, such as show(400).
Additionally, ensure that the CSS display property for your <ul id="submenu"> is set to "none" initially. Finally, place the provided script after including the jQuery library in the <head> section of your document for everything to work smoothly.
