accordion effect without clicking only as hover

[Markus Grob]

Hello together

I've searched for a while, but couldn't find a solution.
I have a big table with a lot of subentrys.
For showing them small, I like to hide the subelements until the mouse
hovers the mainpoint.

As example:

Main1
Main2

-> holds effectivly:

Main1 - sub1
- sub2
- sub3
Main2 - sub1
- sub2



And so on. I have found examples with :target, but then every entry has
to be clicked to expand. Examples with display:block and :hidden doesn't
seems to work.

Does someone knows a flexible solution, as the entrys are generated by
the database and for this, I can't use fixed hights.

Sincerely, Markus

OT, but having spent a pleasant year as an exchange researcher at ETH
Zürich, I think I detect in the above what English Google Translate might
have offered in exchange for the " Grüetsi miteinand' " of the original
/Limmatblüten/. Oder?

(If so, more evidence that machine translation can only do so much :-) .)

If I'm way off base, please forgive. Cheers, -- tlvp

Since this is a stylesheet issue, you should ask in .stylesheets. X-Post &
F'up2 there.

Are the ?sub?? in a separate column? What *exactly* do you wish to happen,
and what *exactly* have you tried to achieve that (exact or minimum markup
and CSS)?

(_heights_) Probably you do not have to.

I also recommend that you use transitions for a better UX. This, too, is
possible without client-side scripting nowadays.

Thank you, but this isn't what I'm searching for, because they need the
space on the screen and only set the visibility.
I have to collapse the submenues, so that I have the space. I will
describe it in the other answer.

I don't have used Google, but have tested it now: It gives me "Hello
everybody". Is this better in this case? As I haven't learned english
well at school, I try my best to be understood.

First, let me say I'm glad your " ;-) " shows you take my comments as
light-heartedly as I offered them.

Next, I quite agree that miteinand' is often very well rendered by together
-- perfect for children playing together (miteinander) or schoolmates
eating together, etc.

But in the Grüetsi miteinand' context, while Hello is acceptable for the
Grüetsi component, Greetings probably comes closer to giving the same
flavor, and the miteinand' part is probably rendered even better by All
than by Everybody -- so I'd substitute: Greetings, all (or in the US South,
Greetings, y'all)!

Finally, of course, others might prefer Greetings, everybody. Or yet other
stuff. Basically, Grüetsi miteinand' is just another of those uniquely
untranslatable expressions that every language has its share of.

Cheers/Ciao/Tschüss, -- tlvp
