I'm creating a documentation web app template. On the right hand side of my page I have a list of articles in the selected category. With a click event(using jQuery) the previous article is hidden and the new one is displayed.
With a mouseover event, a short description of the content is displayed while the original content is hidden.
I'm trying to create a function which displays the original content (prior to my mouseover "description content") with a mouseout event. The original content is never static.
I thought of creating a <div> above the main content articles with the description content and then have the content <div> put at opacity:%100. The problem with that is my footer gets placed way down the page, which I don't want.
Conceptually I can't figure out how I would do this with Javascript.

$( "#menuArt3" ).mouseout(function() {

$( "#menuArt4" ).mouseout(function() {
$( "#summaryArt4" ).hide();
});
});
Figured it out.
Had to make a global variable called activeContent.
Set variable to equal the corresponding content div when clicked on menu item.
after mouseout event executes, I set my activeContent variable to .show()
ei.
var activeContent = "#article1";
$( "#menuArt1" ).click(function() {
activeContent = "#article1";
hideAllArticles();
$( "#article1" ).show();
});
$( "#menuArt1" ).mouseover(function() {
$(activeContent).hide();
$( "#summaryArt1" ).show();
});
$( "#menuArt1" ).mouseout(function() {
$( "#summaryArt1" ).hide();
$(activeContent).show('fold');
});
