hover to trigger tooltip and menu animation -

How do I act on events? A hover menu will animate the menu and display the tooltip connected to that menu item.

I am using the Colvol Lavalamp and Buttips plugins.

You will need to find event handlers versus event handlers. For example:

  // Event handlers are declared like this: var elm = document.getElementById ("some element"); Elm.onmouseover = function () {elm.innerHTML = "Over the State has begun!"; }  

As written, each element can have a function for an event.

Event listeners let you attach as many functions as you want to an event. They have separate scripts in IE and FF, but do so by using raw javascript, you can add events like this:

 Listen to the  function (obj, eventName, fcnRef , Bubbling) {if (bubbling) {bubbling = wrong; } If (! Obj.addEventListener) {obj.attachEvent ("on" + eventName, fcnRef); } And {obj.addEventListener (eventName, fcnRef, other things); }}; Function Handler 1 () {this.style.border = '2px solid red'; } Function Handler 2 () {this.style.background = 'green'; } ListenFor (elm, "over", handler 1); ListenFor (elm, "on", handler2);  

Libraries like jQuery and others have similar ways to do this. A little research and experiment on this topic should give you more than enough information to animate the menu and display tooltips simultaneously on the same element.
