How to show a banner div on mouseover?

Question

Demo

As you can see in the demo, I'm showing a banner on clicking the link. Along with showing and hiding my banner div, I want to show my banner on mouseover (like a dropdown) to show users what is there, before they click the link.

HTML:

<a href="" class="show_hide">One</a>

<div class="slidingDiv" >
    <img src="http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/images/images/home/spring.jpg" />
</div>

JQuery:

 $(document).ready(function() {

     $(".slidingDiv").hide();
     $(".show_hide").show();

     $('.show_hide').click(function () {
         $(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
         return false;
     });

 });

Answer 1

To get it to display like a dropdown, add position:absolute to the .slidingDiv

.slidingDiv {
    margin-bottom:30px;
    position:absolute;
}

And change .click to .hover

See the example HERE

Answer 2

$(document).ready(function () {

     $(".slidingDiv").hide();
     $(".show_hide").show();

     $('.show_hide').on('mouseover',function () {
         $(".slidingDiv").show();
     });
     $('.show_hide').on('mouseleave',function () {
         $(".slidingDiv").hide();
     });
});

I did an example with jQuery Animate.

HTML

    <a id="myLink" href="#">One</a>

    <div id="slidingDiv">
        <img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/000/fff" />
    </div>

CSS

#slidingDiv img{
   margin: 0 0 0 0;
   position: absolute;
   height: 0px;
   width: 100px;
   opacity: 0;
   -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease;
   -moz-transition: all 0.5s ease;
   -o-transition: all 0.5s ease;
   transition: all 0.5s ease;
 }

jQuery 1.10.1

    var toggleDiv = function( selector, height, width, marginBottom, opacity, time ){
            $(selector)
                .removeAttr('style')
                .stop().animate({
                    'height': height,
                    'width': width,
                    'marginBottom': marginBottom, 
                    'opacity': opacity 
                }, time, 'swing', function(){ console.log('Done!!'); } );
            };

    $(document).ready(function () {

        var myImg = $( 'img', '#slidingDiv' ),
            myLink = $( '#myLink' );

        $( myImg ).hide();
        $( myLink )
            .on('mouseenter', function(){ toggleDiv( myImg, '100px', '100px', '30px', 1, 10 ) })
            .on('mouseleave', function() { toggleDiv( myImg, '0px', '100px', '0px', 0, 10 ) });
     });

Just use hover instead of click:

 $('.show_hide').hover(function () {
     $(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
     return false;
 });

Answer 5

Changing click to hover will do the trick.

$('.show_hide').hover(function () {
     $(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
     return false;
});
