Event hover() when fast pointing to an element

[monolithed@…]

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $('div').hover(function() {
        $('p').animate({
            height: 'toggle',
            opacity: "toggle"
        }, {
            queue: false,
            duration: 500
        });
    });
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
p {
    background: red;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
}
</style>

<div>text</div>
<p style="display: none;"></p>

And this bug (can't stop event when fast pointing to an element):

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $('div').hover(function(event) {
        $('p')[event.type == 'mouseenter' ? 'show' : 'hide'](100);
    });
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
p {
    background: red;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
}
</style>

<div>text</div>
<p style="display: none;"></p>

please see it here: ​http://jsfiddle.net/uw8yU/2/ and ​http://jsfiddle.net/uw8yU/1/

This may not be ideal, but you can use .stop to withhold the toggle values if you hover again before completion. ​http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/uw8yU/3/ jQuery does not save state for animations, but we're looking into changing that. See duplicate ticket.

Duplicate of #8685.

I may have misread your ticket and leaped too quickly to relate it to #8685. You do need to handle debouncing your hovers.

The hover events (mouseenter and mouseleave) are fired whenever the user hovers the element, however quickly. You probably need to make sure the user wants to hover. hoverIntent (​http://bit.ly/QJz5) and $.event.special.hover (​http://bit.ly/1VBJW) will automatically normalize the hover event, or you can debounce manually using throttle/debounce (​http://bit.ly/e8d9TB). Animating? How .stop() works (​http://bit.ly/5kq9xo)

timmywil, thx for your reply. I did't know about this way with stop(1,1).animate(). And I think you'd add the one to docs in examples.

But why this ​http://jsfiddle.net/uw8yU/4/ way with stop() doesn't work?
