jQuery: How to apply an effect to an element that shares a name with other elements

Image

I am trying to write some code where a description box pops over an image when I hover over it. I have multiple images on my page which sort of looks like this:







<div class="image">

    <a href="?page=page1>"><img src="images/1.jpg" width="220" height="220"></a>

</div>

<div class="description" style="display: none;"> description 1 </div>



<div class="image">

    <a href="?page=page2>"><img src="images/2.jpg" width="220" height="220"></a>

</div>

<div class="description" style="display: none;"> description 2 </div>



<div class="image">

    <a href="?page=page3"><img src="images/3.jpg" width="220" height="220"></a>

</div>

<div class="description" style="display: none;"> description 3 </div>







I am not very well versed in jQuery or Javascript but I have come up with this code that displays the description when ever you hover over the image:







$(".image").hover(function() {

    $(".description").fadeToggle();

});







The problem with this code is that when you over over any of the images, ALL of the description pop up. What must I add in to my jQuery code so that only the description of the image you are hover over pops up?





I have created a jsfiddle to help understand my problem: http://jsfiddle.net/qnWpy/ (also the description blinks erratically when I hover over or around the image, why's that?)

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
