Simulate Hover using jQuery

css, hover, jquery

Solution

#MB .list a:hover,
#MB .list a:focus,
#MB .list .active a {
  /* hover styles */
}

(I've simplified your selectors a bit, I would also suggest trying to remove the outer `div` as these are often unnecessary and the `ul` alone is enough)

Javascript hover:

function setHover() {
    if ($('#MB .list .active').next().length) {
        $('#MB .list .active').next().addClass('active').end().removeClass('active');
    } else {
        $('#MB .list .active').removeClass('active');
        $('#MB .list li:first-child').addClass('active');
    }
}

setInterval(setHover, 1000);

Problem

Given the existing "buttons" HTML: ``` <div id="MB"> <ul class="list"> <li id="post-5"><a href="#post-5">5</a></li> <li id="post-4"><a href="#post-4">4</a></li> <li id="post-3"><a href="#post-3">3</a></li> <li id="post-2"><a href="#post-2">2</a></li> <li id="post-1"><a href="#post-1">1</a></li> </ul> </div> ``` CSS: ``` #MB .list li a { float:left; color:#333; background:#f6f6f6; border:1px solid #eaeaea; border-right:none; padding:0 8px; } #MB .list li a:hover, #MB .list li a:focus { color:#fff; border:1px solid #333333; border-right:none; background:#404040; text-decoration:none; } ``` I'd like to simulate "hover" automatically on each button, sequentially, every n seconds. This means that every n seconds a button is "hovered" (changing color etc), at next interval is "turned off" and the following button will "turn on" and so on...
