I've been working on a mockup for an app store, and now that I've built the basic framework I wanted to start using jQuery to make certain things interactive. However, none of the jQuery actions I try will work. What's odd is that if I delete all my code, and then try to run a jQuery action with just one div, then it works. Also, if it helps, I am using the Brackets editor.
My code is below. The blue box is the div I animated before all the other code and the green box is the div I animated after the rest of the code. On my end only the blue div hides on click while the green div does nothing.
What's going wrong?
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".scroll-menu").click(function() {
$(".scroll-menu").hide();
});
$(".box").click(function() {
$(".box").hide();
});

</div>You've given the .box element a z-index of -1. This places the element behind the <body> tag and makes it unable to be clicked.
The purpose of the z-index is not apparent, so I've removed it in my example, below, and both boxes are successfully hidden on click.

Notice that the second green box has a white overlay because it's been placed behind the <body> with z-index:-1. Also notice that the first box can be clicked, but the second cannot.
