Hello

New Member and First Post. I am not sure if we can post Salutations and Gratitude in this forum - please edit out if questions cannot be combined with such pleasantries.

The code below is a sample of a section I am working on for a COVID website. The issue with the code is that the MouseOver is sticky-glitchy, meaning that when I mouseover it is not responding as it should - it sometimes stays in its natural state or it bounces in and out or responses as it should when you pass the cursor over the target areas.

Could someone help me identify where I am failing here?

Thank you.

I suspect it's caused by the DIVs changing size. For example, hovering over the first question reduces its DIV height, so that the mouse cursor then ends up over the next question. You might avoid this by giving each question DIV a fixed size, or maybe display the answer in a separate box that's outside the normal flow (for example by using absolute positioning).

Christian,

Thank you for the feedback. Greatly appreciated it. I went ahead and found a work-around, which fixed the glitch - however, at the cost of loosing the formatting. I am not sure how to format the text within the division tag, Example:

CODE
<div id="quiz" onmouseover="changeThis2('   --> How do I format the Text within this space <--   ')" onmouseout="returnThis2('   --> That would resolve my new conundrum <--   ')" >


So, for now it is staying the way it is, unless I find another solution. Btw, I am totally new to this and truly trying to grasp it. If your prior feedback comes with examples - that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Provided is the what I changed the code to.

Do you mean you want the answer to be formatted differently than the question?

First, you shouldn't have changed from class to id. An id can occur exactly once in a page. Change back to class.

Set up a new rule with the styling you want for the answers. Let's say you want the text to be red and bold.

CODE
.answer  { color: red; font-weight: bold }


Then you can add and remove that class on mouseover like this.

CODE
<div class="quiz" onmouseover="changeThis1('True - The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, was the deadliest Pandemic in history.'); classList.add('answer')" onmouseout="returnThis1('Question One:  The Spanish Flu was a Pandemic. (True or False?) To Reveal The Answer - Mouse Over this box'); classList.remove('answer')">

BTW you may want to change "bacteria" in the below to "bacteria and viruses".

"Hygiene, regardless of pandemics-epidemics and what not – having good hygiene practice is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and killing off illness causing bacteria reducing the risk for diseases."

Just happened to notice. I don't think all of them are killed off by soap and water either even if this corona virus is, but hopefully those that aren't killed off are washed off. wink.gif
