This is related to an earlier post, but rather than address it is a
selecting issue, I am thinking it is an append issue. I'd like
others' thoughts on this.
If you have:
<div id="mymouse">Hello</div>
You can control the innerHTML through Jquery mouseover(), etc. Simple
enough.
If you have:
<div id="mymouse">Hello<div>Goodbye</div></div>
The mouseover, I believe, still on effects the Hello, recognizing it
is the innerHTML of the tag with the id="mymouse."
However, using the original example, if you APPEND like this:
<div id="mymouse">Hello</div>
.... and somewhere in your script, you append by: $("#mymouse).append
("<div>Goodbye</div>")
The mouseover() to "mymouse" now controls the next div.
I think the append assumes all appended material is more innerHTML and
not necessarily new sections of a document.
Does anybody else agree and see this as a "not so proper" working of
the append() method?
(I have not tested the example I just wrote, but it is my observation
based on my application, which uses append() to add new document
sections. In my application, I have been struggling with mouseover
being inherited by the appended sections. I have tried to modify the
program to set particular mouseovers in the new HTML tags that are
part of the appended materials - like appending <div
onmouseover="mymouse2">Goodbye</div> - all to no avail.)
