jQuery, issue with .animate() and .fadeIn()

Closed 8 years ago.

Inside a div .frame I have 3 others div: .top, .middle and .bottom.

.top and .bottom are in display none, and when the mouse is over .frame, with the jquery function animate, the height of .frame is increasing and .top and .bottom are showing with .fadeIn().

When the mouse is out .frame, the size of .frame is decreasing and .top and .bottom are going away with .fadeOut().

My CSS are:

.frame{
        border-style: solid;
        border-width: 1px;
        width:200px;
        height:200px;
        position: absolute;
        top:50px;
        left:50px;
    }

    .middle{
        width:100%;
        position: absolute;
    }

    .top{
        display:none;
        background-color:red;
        width:100%;
    }

    .bottom{
        position:absolute;
        display:none;
        bottom:0px;
        background-color:red;
        width:100%;
    }

my HTML:

<div class="frame">
    <div class="top">top</div>
    <div class="middle">middle</div>
    <div class="bottom">bottom<br>bottom<br>bottom<br>bottom</div>
</div>

and my jQuery:

$(document).on('mouseenter mouseleave', '.frame', function( e ) {
        var el = $(this),
            top = el.children('.top'),
            bottom = el.children('.bottom'),
            middle = el.children('.middle'),
            d = bottom.height()+20,
            mEnt = e.type == "mouseenter";

        if(mEnt == true){
            middle.stop().animate({'top':'20px'});
            el.stop().animate({
                'height':'+='+d,
                'top':'-=20'
            }); 
            top.stop().fadeIn(300);
            bottom.stop().fadeIn(300);
        }else{
            middle.stop().animate({'top':'0px'});
            el.stop().animate({
                'height':'-='+d,
                'top':'+=20'
            });
            top.stop().fadeOut(300);
            bottom.stop().fadeOut(300);
        }
    });

here a jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/malamine_kebe/Y6cbQ/

It's working well, but when the mouse is entering and leaving fast it's messing the whole thing. I put a .stop() before all .animate() but it doesn't seem to help.

Instead of .stop() use .stop(true, true). This makes it so the queue of animations is cleared and the current animation finishes immediately (http://api.jquery.com/stop/).

You can see in the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3gYtK/

$(document).on('mouseenter mouseleave', '.frame', function( e ) {
    var el = $(this),
        top = el.children('.top'),
        bottom = el.children('.bottom'),
        middle = el.children('.middle'),
        d = bottom.height()+20,
        mEnt = e.type == "mouseenter";

    if(mEnt == true){
        middle.stop().animate({'top':'20px'});
        el.stop(true, true).animate({
            'height':'+='+d,
            'top':'-=20'
        }); 
        top.stop(true, true).fadeIn(300);
        bottom.stop(true, true).fadeIn(300);
    }else{
        middle.stop().animate({'top':'0px'});
        el.stop(true, true).animate({
            'height':'-='+d,
            'top':'+=20'
        });
        top.stop(true, true).fadeOut(300);
        bottom.stop(true, true).fadeOut(300);
    }
});
