How to stop fadeIn() blinking?

Question

Currently I have a simple div that I want to have fade in on mouseover of another div, but it would blink 3 times.

I've read some of the other questions and I think this has to do with how my code is structured. But I'm not sure how to correct mine as it's so basic already.

Here are my codes:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.content .guide ul.guide li .event').mouseover(function(){
            $(this).find('.info').fadeIn();
        });
        $('.content .guide ul.guide li .event').mouseout(function(){
            $(this).find('.info').fadeOut();
        });
    });
</script>

CSS

.content .guide ul.guide li .event .info {display:none;}

HTML

<ul class="guide">
    <li class="mon">
        <div class="day">Monday</div>
        <div class="session-1 event">
            <time>7:30am</time>
            <span>Ep 5: <a href="">Lorem</a></span>
            <div class="info">
                <div class="tooltip"></div>
                <div class="wrap">
                    <div class="desc">Ep 8: Lorem ipsum</div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="session-2 event">
            <time>8:30pm</time>
            <span>Ep 5: <a href="">Lorem</a></span>
            <div class="info">
                <div class="tooltip"></div>
                <div class="wrap">
                    <div class="desc">Ep 8: Lorem ipsum</div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </li>
    <li class="tue">
        <div class="day">Tuesday</div>
        <div class="session-1">
        </div>
        <div class="session-2">
        </div>
    </li>
</ul>

Answer 1

You can use stop().fadeTo() to prevent that. See below code and demo here

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.content .guide ul.guide li .event').mouseover(function(){
            $(this).find('.info').stop().fadeTo('slow',1);
        });
        $('.content .guide ul.guide li .event').mouseout(function(){
            $(this).find('.info').stop().fadeTo('slow',0);
        });
    });
</script>

I only got this problem in Google Chrome.

I've changed .fadeIn to .fadeTo(myDuration,1) to fix it.

Also, for me, everything works fine without .stop().

Answer 3

I had this and this solved my problem ( I was using fadeIn and fadeOut)

$( "#board" ).stop().animate({ "opacity": 1 },300);
