I have a series of divs that I want to clone and show/hide on hover to a different div. Although I've figured out how to clone one or all with jQuery, I'm quite stuck on how to clone each iteratively.
The HTML, essentially:
<div id="test">
<div id="source1" class="src">content1</div>
<div id="source2" class="src">content2</div>
<div id="source3" class="src">content3</div>
</div>
<div id="dest"></div>
I'm thinking the answer probably involves an each function; however the following script errors with "second argument to Function.prototype.apply must be an array" for jquery.min.js:
$(".src").hover(function() {
$(".src").each(function() {
$(this).clone().appendTo('#dest');
return false;
$('#dest').show();
}, function() {
$('#dest').hide();
$('#dest').html('');
});
});
This bit does work nicely to clone every (not each) .src div on hover, however:
$('.src').hover(function() {
$('.src').clone().appendTo('#dest');
$('#dest').show();
}, function() {
$('#dest').hide();
$('#dest').html('');
});
So, to recap, I want each .src div to be cloned to the #dest div when I hover over it, then disappear when I mouse out. Then the next .src div should do the same thing on hover, and so on...without a separate script for each sourceN div. Please, oh wise ones, what am I doing wrong?
Your assumption is correct, you need to make use of the $(this) notation.
$('.src').hover(function() {
$(this).clone().appendTo('#dest');
$('#dest').show();
}, function() {
$('#dest').hide();
$('#dest').html('');
});
