I'm actually trying to do a menu using CSS and jQuery. It uses images 2 images per button, one for when it's not active and the other for the hover. This part is made with the stylesheet. When you click on a li, it take the same style as if the mouse was over. But only one li can be clicked at a time so if you click on another(or the same) li it undo the previous one for the other(or none). This part is done with jquery.
My problem is that when I click on a LI and then unselect it, I can no longer hover it. I think there is a collision between the CSS applied by jQuery and the style sheet.
There is the HTML Part :
<body>
<div id="wrap"><!--Header Menu TagBar -->
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li id="genre"></li>
<li id="author"></li>
<li id="home">
<div id="hmIcon"></div>
</li>
<li id="artist"></li>
<li id="year"></li>
</ul>
</div>
This is the CSS Part :
#menu {
background-color:#fff;
width:1000px;
height:60px;
position:relative;
}
#menu ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
overflow: hidden;
}
#menu ul li {
width:200px;
float:left;
list-style:none;
text-align:center;
height:60px;
line-height:60px;
opacity:.9;
}
#menu li:hover {
opacity:1;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 4px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
}
#genre {
background-image:url(../images/genreHover.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-size:200px 60px;
}
#genre:hover {
background-image:url(../images/genre.jpg);
}
#author {
background-image:url(../images/authorHover.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-size:200px 60px;
}
#author:hover {
background-image:url(../images/author.jpg);
}
#hmIcon {
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-image:url(../images/HomeIcon.png);
background-position:center center;
background-size:50px 50px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
#home {
background-image:url(../images/homeHover.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-size:200px 60px;
}
#home:hover {
background-image:url(../images/home.jpg);
}
#artist {
background-image:url(../images/artistHover.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-size:200px 60px;
}
#artist:hover {
background-image:url(../images/artist.jpg);
}
#year {
background-image:url(../images/yearContour.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-size:200px 60px;
}
#year:hover {
background-image:url(../images/year.jpg);
}
And the best for the last (the headache), the Jquery Part :
function clouds(cssDiv, otherOpened) {
var Div = "#Cloud_" + cssDiv;
var idButton = "#" + cssDiv;
var h = "200px";
if (otherOpened === null) {
var clickedImg = "url(./images/" + cssDiv + ".jpg)";
$(Div).fadeIn(1);
$(Div).animate({
height: h,
}, 600);
$(idButton).css({
'box-shadow': ' inset 0px 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.45)',
'background-image': clickedImg
});
return Div;
} else {
var buttonToUnclick = otherOpened.slice(7);
var buttonToClick = cssDiv;
var unClickedImg = "url(./images/" + buttonToUnclick + "Hover.jpg)";
$(otherOpened).animate({
height: "0",
}, 600);
$(otherOpened).fadeOut(1);
$("#" + buttonToUnclick).css({
'box-shadow': ' inset 0px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.45)',
'background-image': unClickedImg
});
if (Div == otherOpened) {
return null;
} else {
var clickedImg = "url(./images/" + buttonToClick + ".jpg)";
setTimeout(function() {
$(Div).fadeIn(1);
$(Div).animate({
height: h,
}, 600);
$("#" + buttonToClick).css({
'box-shadow': ' inset 0px 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.45)',
'background-image': clickedImg
});
console.log(buttonToClick);
console.log(clickedImg);
}, 800);
return Div;
}
}
}
And its call :
$("#genre").click(function() {
whichCloudsOn = clouds("genre", whichCloudsOn);
});
$("#artist").click(function() {
whichCloudsOn = clouds("artist", whichCloudsOn);
});
$("#author").click(function() {
whichCloudsOn = clouds("author", whichCloudsOn);
});
$("#year").click(function() {
whichCloudsOn = clouds("year", whichCloudsOn);
});
Thanks for the help, I'm open to any advices or solutions.

jQuery.css()
adds inline styling, which will override your external css. Try adding !important
on your hover, like this:
#year:hover {
background-image:url(../images/year.jpg) !important;
}
I made an example fiddle. (click both and then hover)
