GSAP with mouseover JQuery

[lucrampro 1 Likes (Newbie)]

Hey, everybody!
I have a problem I try to make a round grow if a mouse passes over but the animation is done directly I don't understand, doesn't GSAP work with Jquery?

 

if ($(".scale").mouseover) {

    TweenMax.to(".scale", 1, {
        css: {
            scale: 2,
            backgroundColor: "#343434"
        }

    });

} else {

    TweenMax.to(".scale", 1, {
        css: {
            scale: 1
        }
    });

}

please help me

Your if statement will always be true. You might want to go check up on how jQuery hover works, and then make a demo if you can't get it working.

Hi @lucrampro,

 

GSAP certainly works well with jQuery ... but it looks like you're using jQuery incorrectly (if I understand what you want to accomplish). It looks like you want to respond to mouseenter and mouseleave ... simply a hover event.

 

$(".scale").hover(
  
  function(){
    TweenMax.to( $(this), 1, {
        css: {
            scale: 2,
            backgroundColor: "#343434"
        }

    });
  },
  
  function(){
    TweenMax.to( $(this), 1, {
        css: {
            scale: 1
        }

    });
  }
 
 );

 

EDIT: Sorry @OSUblake, didn't see that we were responding at the same time

why always true?

if ($(".scale").mouseover) { ...

 

will always return true because it will return all matching element properties ( i.e not return FALSE )

Because you're just checking if there something called "mouseover" on a jQuery object, which there is. It's called a truthy value.

// Try it
console.log(Boolean($(".scale").mouseover));
