I'm currently working on a webpage and incorporating a feature where hovering over specific div elements triggers the display of certain text in another div. There are 5 elements that I want to make hoverable and show text upon interaction.
After implementing this feature, I noticed that it wasn't functioning as expected - only the last hoverable div was displaying the text. To troubleshoot this issue, I isolated the elements in question and moved them to a sandbox environment for further testing. Despite my efforts (including using multiple if statements to make it work, but I prefer a cleaner solution), the problem persisted where only the last div would show the text.
Here is a link to the working version with multiple if statements:

setInterval(function(){
var dataArray = ["1","2","3","4","5"]
var isHovered1 = $(`.${dataArray[0]}`).is(":hover");
var isHovered2 = $(`.${dataArray[1]}`).is(":hover");
var isHovered3 = $(`.${dataArray[2]}`).is(":hover");
var isHovered4 = $(`.${dataArray[3]}`).is(":hover");
var isHovered5 = $(`.${dataArray[4]}`).is(":hover");
if (isHovered1) {
$('p').html("TEST")
} else if (isHovered2) {
$('p').html("TEST")
}else if (isHovered3) {
$('p').html("TEST")
} else if (isHovered4) {
$('p').html("TEST")
}else if (isHovered5) {
$('p').html("TEST")
} else {
$('p').html("")
}
}, 300);div {
height:100px;
width: 100px;
background: blue;
float: left;
}
.viewer {
height: 500px;
width: 500px;
background: red;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="1">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="2">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="3">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="4">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="5">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="viewer">
<p></p>
</div>Here is the version I am striving to refine: https://codepen.io/SynergyOfLife/pen/VwjELME
setInterval(function(){
var dataArray = ["1","2","3","4","5"]
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dataArray.length; i++) {
var isHovered = $(`.${dataArray[i]}`).is(":hover");
if (isHovered) {
$('p').html("TEST")
} else {
$('p').html("")
}
}
}, 300);div {
height:100px;
width: 100px;
background: blue;
float: left;
}
.viewer {
height: 500px;
width: 500px;
background: red;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="1">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="2">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="3">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="4">
<a>Test</a>
</div>
<div class="5">
<a>Only working div?</a>
</div>
<div class="viewer">
<p></p>
</div>In essence, I'm seeking assistance on streamlining the number of if statements in the code.
