Utilizing jQuery and CSS for positioning in my debut project: an Etch A Sketch

Hello! I am currently diving into the world of CSS, jQuery, and Javascript, and my first project was creating an etch-a-sketch. So far, I've implemented a few features that are working smoothly. However, I've encountered an issue with the snake feature - when you hover over a square, it seems to move to the bottom of the grid and keep going. I suspect that this is due to how the grid is generated or the way the divs are floating, but I can't quite figure it out. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to fix this problem? Additionally, if you notice anything in the code that could be improved, I would greatly appreciate your input as I'm just starting out on this learning journey!

If you'd like to check out the project, it's available here.

You can also find the files on my GitHub page at this link.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Answer №1

The issue appears to be with the final line of code in this function:

function trail(){
  clearGrid()
  $('.square').css("background-color", "#CFCFCF")
  $('.square').hover(function () {
    $(this).css("background-color", "#CFCFCF")
    $(this).fadeToggle("slow") // this specific line is causing a problem
  });
}

The fadeToggle function gradually decreases the opacity of the targeted element. Once the opacity reaches 0, the element's display property is set to "none". In a grid layout of 20x20, instead of displaying all 400 elements, only 399 are visible each time an element disappears upon hover. Essentially, as you hover, the elements shift to the left, creating empty space at the end of the grid.

I trust this explanation clarifies the issue at hand.
