I would expect something like this to be pretty popular in demand but I had much trouble finding a suiting script.
I've got a basic menu build like this:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/btn1.png"></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/btn2.png"></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/btn3.png"></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
The div #menu has a background image of a small arrow. I want the arrow to move vertically in front of the corresponding menu image when you mouseover/mousemove the whole #menu div.
Also when one of the menu images has been clicked the arrow should stay in it's position in front of the corresponding menu image.
I started something but I notice it's going downwards, since it's only working when you're at the top of the page. What I have is this:
$('#menu').css({backgroundPosition: '5px 10px'}); //Starting position
$('#menu').mousemove(function(e){
$('#menu').stop().animate(
{backgroundPosition: '5px ' + (e.pageY-60) + ' px'},
{duration:100}
)
}).mouseout(function(){
$('#menu').stop().animate(
{backgroundPosition: '5px 10px'},
{duration:100}
)
});
Please help!
ps. I'm using this plugin to move background images smoothly.
