I'm new to jQuery as well, but after a bit of digging I found the solution at: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/stop_bug_fix.htm
Basically you want to use the stop() function to end queued animation, but you need to pass a couple variables to it in order to make it function properly. Here's the jist: var clearQueue = true; var gotoEnd= true; $("#element").stop(clearQueue , gotoEnd) The first value in the stop function, clearQueue, sets whether you want to clear the present queue of event on this particular element. The second value gotoEnd, sets whether or not you want to skip the the end of the current animation being performed (say you were in the middle of fadingIn, that would jump directly to the end of the animation and complete the fadeIn). Without this, your elements would actually be partially opaque permanantly after the first interruption of a hover with the stop(). So make sure to add that as well. it appears both values are set to false by default. Hope that helps! -clockworked347 joemccann wrote: > > > Still no luck.
