jQuery mouseover on SVG path - Strange bug

Good evening,

I'm coding a site for my orchestra and I am implementing an organization chart with pictures. My idea is to have a "map" of all seats in the orchestra and when you hover over one of the seats with your mouse, information about this person will pop out. I got that to work thanks to a little bit of jQuery and an SVG tweak :

<g id="luc" class="Seats">
      <path class="cls-9" d="M441.6,153.2l-6.23,13.41L429.15,180a3.4,3.4,0,0,0,.56,3.71l3.11,3.46,3.11,3.46a3.4,3.4,0,0,0,3.63.94l14-4.82,14-4.82a3.4,3.4,0,0,0,1.42-5.49l-10.85-12-10.85-12a3.4,3.4,0,0,0-5.61.84Z" transform="translate(-10.26 -9.14)" />
</g>
<g id="hugo" class="Seats">

</g>

These paths correspond to (in order) 4,3,2,1 seats on the following picture :

Picture

My problem is that the mouseover works perfectly on seats 1 and 2 (the picture pop up exactly when I touch the seat), but do not cover the entire seat on 3 and 4.

I have no idea what causes this problem, which happens on Chrome, Firefox and Edge...

My jQuery code :

$(".Seats").hover(over, out); 

function animateOver(element) {
    console.log(element);
    var tl = new TimelineLite();
    var select = $(element);
    var name = select.attr('name');

    $("#name_display").html(name);

    tl.timeScale(1);
    tl.to($("#" + element.id + "_card"), 1, { opacity: 1 });
    tl.to($("#name_display"), 1, { opacity: 1 }, '-=1');
    tl.play();
    return tl;
}

function over() {
    //check if this item has an animation
    if (!this.animation) {
        //if not, create one
        this.animation = animateOver(this);
    } else {
        //or else play it
        this.animation.play().timeScale(1);
    }
}

function out() {
    //reverse animation 4 times normal speed
    this.animation.reverse().timeScale(4);
}
Solution

  • I found where my problem was : the pictures that pops up (when I put my mouse over the seats) were actually still there with an opacity of zero and were blocking the detection of the "overing" !
