Usless Background Info
Hello, all. This is my first post here, but I often come here for help.
I am an amateur web designer and have been in web designing for almost a year now.
The Problem
My question is about CSS3 transforms. I have a small, circular element in the center of my page that transforms successfully when I hover over it. I have a larger circular element that is, by z-index, underneath it. The larger circle also has CSS3 transforms coded in the CSS, but will not transform, or even triggerd when hovered over. Both circles are overlaid, with the smallest on top, to create concentric circles.
My Attempted Solution
One word: Z-index. I have tried putting the larger circle on top, which works fine. The problem with this is that the smaller circle no longer triggers...
The Result I Want
I would like for the circles to remain in their 'concentric' positions and for the larger circle on the outside to transform by :hover. Is it possible to have an 'alternate trigger'? e.g.: in JavaScript, I can trigger an animation by hovering over any element that I specify. Is this possible to do in CSS? Can I hover element (I), and change properties for element (II)? If I cannot do this, how would I go about triggering animations for both circles, by hovering over only one? I am trying to stay with pure CSS/HTML, but I will accept JavaScript answers.
Last Notes
I hope I have provided ample info for a decent answer... Here is a screenshot: http://i.stack.imgur.com/WPj62.png
The circle with the infinity sign is the smaller circle element. The larger circle with the faint border around the screen is the other element.
EDIT:
Something's still not right, please take a look at the full code posted here: http://cssdesk.com/eJ8BH
If I understand your question, it sounds like when you hover over the small circle, you want both the large and small circle to transform, correct?
The easiest way is likely to use javascript for this. If you are using jQuery, it's even easier:
$('.littleCircle')
.hover(function(){
$(this).addClass('myTransformationClass');
$('.biggerCircle').addClass('myTransformationClass');
})
UPDATE: Some further examples based on follow-up feedback.
Here's what I'd do. First, give all 4 related elements a class so you can grab them via jQuery. For the example I use .rolloverSet
// grab all 4 elements and cache them
$rolloverSet = $('.rolloverSet');
// grab the one element that needs to have two classes
$otherElement = $rolloverSet.find('.otherElement');
$rolloverSet
.hover(function(){ // we'll add a hover event to each element in the group
$(this).addClass('myTransformationClass');
$otherElement.addClass('myOtherTransformationClass');
})
.blur(function(){ // remove the classes on mousout
$(this).removeClass('myTransformationClass');
$otherElement.removeClass('myOtherTransformationClass');
})
You do not need jQuery for this. You need to apply :hover on the parent element of the concentric circles and then apply the animation to its immediate children like this: http://jsfiddle.net/nimbu/taqr4/
Things I changed:
Updated to use shorter transitions, animations property
Added moz, o, unprefixed properties
Removed -webkit- from border-radius
Gathered common properties of concentric circles to prevent repetition
Fixed incorrect background-color (#00000000)

This seems dissimilar to the accordion functionality provided by bootstrap.
To give an example, let's take the "how to format" info starting me in the face right now. I'd want it so that it only displays up to X pixels deep, and then stops until expanded. So it might look like:
and then, once expanded,
I happen to be using bootstrap. Is there a bootstrap native or other HTML solution to create this kind of experience?
Assume that the thing that I only want to show of is a single element, such as an image, rather than a series of text. This means a solution like min-height:50px and overflow:hidden won't work, as it will simply hide the entire image rather than part of it.
We can use jQuery .height() to accomplish knowing the rendered height of an element then making conditional modifications.
Documentation and examples for jQuery .height().
A combination of height and overflow in combination with the toggling of a class should work here.

The click of the arrow is bound to the following function:
function expandCollapse() {
$("#container").toggleClass("expanded");
$(".glyphicon").toggleClass("glyphicon-arrow-down"); // Flip Arrow
}
Before I start--I know we can do this with JS positioning. I'm trying to see if we can avoid the JS positioning.
You can see a close approximation here-- I've forced/dummied the overlay positioning using a top:nnn value for now (it's off a bit in the jsfiddle).
What I want to do is set the top of that overlay to start in line with the bottom of the selected table row. Again-- we dummied it for now using top with a fixed value, but there should be a CSS way to set it?
I did play around with tr.isSelected:after {...} type stuff, that didn't work as expected.
Try using tr.isSelected>td:first-child, and among the properties include position:absolute.
I'm not sure what the point is, though... Class toggling can only be done with JavaScript, so if you're already using JS then where's the harm in using it to calculate the position?
I'm stuck with the menu below. All the website needs to be in HTML.

WHAT: I want to have an hover image for all the different parts when the mouse go on it. (event/brand/website/print/UI/VIDEO)
PROBLEM: The images are overlapping and the mouseover start when i'm on the transparency of the png.
SOLUTIONS I TRIED: Imagemap to detect the zone and then put javascript code inside the AREA. doesn't work.
Imagemap to detect the zone, put an id in the AREA and use a separated JQUERY with .hover(function(). doesn't work.
Use z-index: impossible because there will be always an image that will hide the one under.
QUESTION: If I can't use ImapeMAP to select my zone and use CSS or JQUERY, how can I do ?
Thank you so much for your help!
Might be too late but the exact case can actually be solved by a class I wrote around 3 months ago. It allows you to check whether you're on a transparent area or not and also check for other elements behind the transparent area, this allows to overlap multiple transparent images and correctly jump from one image to another at the correct point.

Is it possible to only trigger a div's mouseover when the cursor is over an opaque part of the div's background image? Perhaps via Javascript?
All I can find with Google are old IE PNG fixes.
This looks like a similar question to this one: Hit detection on non-transparent pixel
I suppose this could also be done for background image by getting the attribute with jQuery:
$('#myDiv').css('background-image');
I haven't personally done this, but it seems like a viable solution. This will only work for modern browsers, but you should be able to make it back-compatible with excanvas.
It is possible, just not very easily. You'll have to use a lot of Javascript.
You'd want to attach to your <div>'s onmousemove event, which returns the X,Y coordinates of the cursor. Your event handler function would then test to see if the cursor is in the correct place in order to trigger an alternative onmouseover event.
Implementing the "is the cursor over an opaque pixel or not?" test can be done two ways: the first is to create a simple mathematical expression (say if the opaque parts of the image make neat rectangles, circles or polygons). The more difficult (and less browser-supported) way is to load the background image into a Canvas object and then get the current pixel value's opacity figure and take it from there, like so:
var pixel = canvas.getImageData(x, y, 1, 1).data;
var alpha = pixel[3]; // assuming RGBA
if( alpha > threshold ) onMouseOver(); // raise the event
Another alternative is to create an entirely transparent div (or some other element) positioned and sized so that it only covers the opaque part of the div below, then just test the mouseover of that element's box.
It's a bit of tweaking but why don't you add a class to your opaque div, and use JavaScript to check for it?
In jQuery:
$('div').mouseover(function(){
if ($(this).is('.opaque')) {
//Some actions
}
});
I'm trying to create a gray "frame" (see pic below) around a google map, to try to convey the concept of an area of focus, as oppose to a point (which is usually represented with a marker). Note that this is not an overlay, that is, the gray "frame" should not move when you drag the map.

It appears that only option is to "subclass" GControl to create a custom control. I have 3 questions
1) First of all, is GControl subclassing the best course of action?
2) In my example, the canvas (div) where map renders can change its size (i.e is not fixed width). Do I have to delete and add custom control when canvas changes size? See docs http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/controls.html#Custom_Controls on how to create a custom map control.
3) Now, how to do it. Naively, I thought I could create a table with 3 columns and 3 rows, and set display: none for the cell in the middle. But that doesn't work. I've also experimented with clipping, that didn't work either. My css skills are quite lacking, so there must be way to do this more elegantly than adding four rectangular gray divs. If I wanted to add an inner border, with divs, I would need to paint 8 then. In a nutshell, what's the best way to create a "hollow" rectangle?
Thanks
P.S. This is my first entry to StackOverflow. Just discovered it. It's impressive how well SO is put together.
