Hover state is maintained during a transition even if the element has gone

Question

Consider a simple element, and its associated CSS:

Hover me !

Answer 1

Check if this is the behaviour you want to accomplish. Some are example styles, adjust as you please.

http://jsfiddle.net/U44Zf/9/

.tooltip {
    background-color: white;
    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 10px;
    opacity: 0;
    transition: 1s 500ms;
    transition-property: transform, opacity;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
}

#content:hover .tooltip {
    display: block;
    opacity: 1;
    transform:translateX(100px);
    -webkit-transform: translateX(100px);
}
#content {
    transition: 1s 500ms;
    transition-property: background-color, color;
    cursor: pointer;
    position: relative;
}
#content.active {
    background-color: blue;
    color: white;
}
#content.active .tooltip {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: none;
    -webkit-transform: none;
}

I've added this javascript snippet to control the click state

$('#content').click(function () {
    $(this).toggleClass('active');
});
