jQuery: Selector inconsistencies, can someone please explain what i'm doing wrong here_问答_开发者

Why does this work:

    $("div.cat_rollout").mouseover(function(){
    $(this ).removeClass().addClass("cat_rollover");
    $(this).animate({ fontSize: "22px" }, 'fast' );
}).mouseout(function(){
    $(this).removeClass().addClass("cat_rollout");  
    $(this).animate({ fontSize: "10px" }, 'fast' );
});

But this does not:

    $('.vpMedia').click(function() {

    var selectedBT1 = $(this).find(".vpLeft");
    selectedBT1.removeClass();
    selectedBT1.addClass("vpLeft_Selected"); //doesn't work

    var selectedBT2 = $(this).find(".vpLeftText"); 
    selectedBT2.removeClass();
    selectedBT2.addClass("vpLeftText_Selected"); //doesn't work

    $(this).find(".vpArrow").css("visibility", "visible"); //works
});

The only difference is that I'm referencing a child through find.

If i do the above code but change:

        var selectedBT2 = $(this).find(".vpLeftText");
    selectedBT2.removeClass();
    selectedBT2.addClass("vpLeftText_Selected");

To just changing CSS:

        var selectedBT2 = $(this).find(".vpLeftText");
    selectedBT2.css("color", "#f00");

It works. So it has something to do with me doing a double jquery (removeClass and addClass)

I used Chrome's Developer Tools to test your code, and the class is getting added correctly. That makes me think there is a problem with your css class definitions. What do those look like? It worked fully when I tested it with this css:

.vpLeftText_Selected {color:#0f0;}

It turns out that the hover function is clashing with the click. But actually only with the removeClass().addClass() lines(?) The .css() part works.

How can I get around this elegantly?

    $('.vpMedia').hover(function() {
    $(this).find(".vpLeft").css("opacity" , "0.2");
    $(this).find(".vpLeftText").css("color" , "#00cc00");
    },
    function() { //mouseout
    $(this).find(".vpLeft").css("opacity" , "0");
    $(this).find(".vpLeftText").css("color" , "#aaa");
});

$('.vpMedia').click(function() {

    var selectedBT1 = $(this).find(".vpLeft");
    selectedBT1.removeClass();
    selectedBT1.addClass("vpLeft_Selected"); //if i remove the hover function above, this works.

    var selectedBT2 = $(this).find(".vpLeftText");
    selectedBT2.removeClass();
    selectedBT2.addClass("vpLeftText_Selected");//if i remove the hover function above, this works.

    $(this).find(".vpArrow").css("visibility", "visible");//but this works regardless?!
});
