Changing color in CSS with jQuery

[OP ACTIONpack 259]

I had my filter setup so that when you hover a <li> the product-brief class would hide. The problem doing that, the page move because the div is no longer there. I want to change the color instead to white so that people will not see the text when hovering over. The jQuery code is below. I try to set it is for css instead of hiding but not working.

$(function() {
		$('.product-List li').hover(function() { 
		$(this).parents('.grid_12').children('.product-brief').css('color', '#FFFFFF');
	}, function() { 
		$('.product-brief').css('color', 'black');
		});
	});

Why not just use opacity?

[LaP 1,495]

If you are using visibility: hidden it should not move.

 

Display: none removes the elements while visibility: hidden hides it without removing it.

[Brian M. 773]

Does the element you're changing contain any a tags? Remember that child elements (such as a's) will have their own style unless you inherit them.

It can't be done in CSS because it's outside of the <li> which is why I try to side it.

I got it fix now. Here is my code. Much easier than I thought!

$(function() {
		$('.product-List li').hover(function() { 
		$(this).parents('.grid_12').children('.product-brief').css('opacity', '0.0');
	}, function() { 
		$('.product-brief').css('opacity', '1');
		});
	});

Keep in mind it wont work in older browsers.

No need to use 0.0 for opacity instead use just 0

 

What most people use:

0.0

0.5

1.0

What should be used in my opinion:

.5

1

 

And use visibility instead of opacity as people sayed above in the comments already :p

Yes, I saw that when I put the one for opacity. Just didn't upload the new one yet. Watch a TV show. But thanks for pointing it out.

Sorry if I've missed it but why not just use css, why the js?

its outside the parent and can't be done with js

[ashpowell 81]

Would .child:hover .parent{visibility:hidden} not work? Sorry if I'm being a bit dumb I'm so tired

I try with CSS alone but it does not work for some reason. JQuery works best
