If you're going to have the "same" code in more than one place, you might
consider creating a function for that. Something like this maybe:
function mouseExpand(source,target) {
$('#' + source).hover(function(){
$('#' + target).show();
},function(){
$('#' + target).hide();
});
}
and you'd call it like this:
mouseExpand('MSFree','menu2');

Subject: [jQuery] Re: Need Open/Shut Function
Yes, it does work.
I just have a couple follow up questions. When I first load the page, the
element that's supposed to be hidden is displayed. Is there a way to modify
it so that it doesn't display until someone mouses over the yellow "MS-Free"
thingy?
I put a working example online at http://www.geobop.org/Test.php
Also, suppose I wanted to add a similar function, named Stuff, for example.
Would I just add a separate script, as below?:
$(\'#MSFree\').hover(function(){
// do something on mouse over
$(\'#menu2\').show();
},function(){
// do something on mouse out
$(\'#menu2\').hide();
});
$(\'#Stuff\').hover(function(){
// do something on mouse over
$(\'#menu3\').show();
},function(){
// do something on mouse out
$(\'#menu3\').hide();
});
Thanks.

No, it isn't working. I deleted the JavaScript that previously controlled
it, then I looked for any CSS styles that might have been interfering with
it.
I looked at the page with the Firebug console, and it doesn't report any
errors. I know I'm conneced to my JQuery scripts because some JQuery table
sorting functions on the same page are working.
I'll go back and take a fresh look at it in a moment.
Thanks.

The .show() and .hide() functions are on-demand functions -- they'll happen
immediately when the code is called. What you need to do is observe the
user's actions and show/hide the div based on what they are doing.
For that, you can use .mouseover() and .mouseout with callback functions.
The callback functions will be called when certain events happen, and that
is where you place the .hide() and .how() code:
// Untested...
$('#MSFree').mouseover(function()
{
$('#menu2').show();
});
$('#MSFree').mouseout(function()
{
$('#menu2').hide();
});

Here's a condensed version of my code...
<div class="collapsible" id="MSFree">
<div id="trigger2" class="trigger"><span>V</span>Microsoft-Free</div>
</div>
<div id='menu2' class='menu'">This website was designed....</div>
So I would convert your code to this?:
$('#MSFree').show();
$('#MSFree').hide();
Would I just add that to the JQuery code in my head section, and the script
would then open whenever someone mouses over it?
Thanks.

jQuery has built in show() / hide() methods. The syntax would look something
like this:
$('#someElement').show();
$('#someElement').hide();
Where someElement was a container with an ID.

Subject: [jQuery] Need Open/Shut Function
I've been looking for JQuery examples pages and started browsing through
plugins, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet, so I wondered if
anyone here could make some recommendations.
If you visit my web page at http://www.geosymbols.org/World/Arizona/, you'll
see a "Microsoft-Free" box in the top right corner of the page. Hovering
over it with your mouse causes a small display to appear.
At the end of the article is a little Links/Books image with similar
behavior (though there's currently no content to display).
What JQuery function, plugin or whatever should I use to duplicate those
functions? I'd like to be able to style it so that it looks pretty much as
it does now.
Also, on my World home page at http://www.geosymbols.org/World I have links
to a series of JavaScript pop-up boxes with links to various nations. It's a
pretty simple, straightforward JavaScsript. I just wondered if there are any
JQuery functions that would somehow enhance those popups.
So far I'm using a JQuery table sorter plugin and "zebra stripes" widget. My
code looks like this:
<script src="'.$BaseURL.'/1A/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="'.$BaseURL.'/1A/js/tablesorter/jquery.tablesorter.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#myTable").tablesorter({ widgets: [\'zebra\']} );
}
);
</script>
Thanks.
