Undesirable flickering animation on button

Is there a way to display a dynamic button that follows the mouse cursor when hovering over an image?

If you want to see the code in action, check out this codepen link.

const box = document.getElementById("box");

function movebox(e) {
  box.style.left = event.clientX - 20 + 'px';
  box.style.top = event.clientY - 20 + 'px';
  box.style.display = 'block';
}

function removebox() {
  box.style.display = 'none';
}

function click() {
  console.log("clicked")
}
#maindiv {
  border: 1px solid blue;
  padding: 1px;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  text-align: center;
  align-items: center;
  min-height: 100vh;
}

#maindiv img {
  max-width: 400px;
  max-height: 400px;
  object-fit: scale-down;
  border: 1px solid red;
}

#box {
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 100;
  display: none;
}

  <button id="box" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="click()">click</button>
</div>

Issues: Experiencing unwanted blinking effects on the button.

I attempted using the pointer-events: none property on the button, but it also disables the onclick events.

Answer №1

Please avoid naming your function "click" as it conflicts with the built-in click method.

I have updated your code to utilize CSS for displaying and hiding the element. Hover effects have been added to the img and button elements.

A bug has been fixed where scroll position was not being taken into account.

const box = document.getElementById("box");

function movebox(e) {
  box.style.left = window.scrollX + event.clientX - 20 + 'px';
  box.style.top = window.scrollY +  event.clientY - 20 + 'px';
}

function clickMe() {
  console.log("clicked")
}
#maindiv {
  border: 1px solid blue;
  padding: 1px;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  text-align: center;
  align-items: center;
  min-height: 100vh;
}

#maindiv img {
  max-width: 400px;
  max-height: 400px;
  object-fit: scale-down;
  border: 1px solid red;
}

#box {
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 100;
  display: none;
  transition: all .25s;
}

#maindiv img:hover + #box,
#box:hover
 {
display: block;
}
