I have a block that contains content that displays on hover. The way the effect should work is:
.hoverCard
The basic content is displayed by default (the content in .hoverCard__showOnHover is hidden)
The user hovers over .hoverCard, at which point .hoverCard__showOnHover
displays its contents and .hoverCard__body
transitions up (giving it an "open" effect) The problem I encountered is:
visibility:hidden
, opacity:0
and height:0
to still reserve space for .hoverCard__showOnHover
. This means that if, by default, .hoverCard__body
has a bottom padding of 40px and .hoverCard__showOnHover
has a height of 100px, there will be no need for the user to hover over .hoverCard i.e. 140px of space is visibleGSAP
to gradually give the .hoverCard__showOnHover
height. But no luck as it still has the above issueIs there any way to solve this problem? Not necessarily using GSAP, I just tried GSAP to try to solve the above problem.
const hoverCard = document.querySelector('.hoverCard'); const hoverCardBodyShowOnHover = document.querySelector('.hoverCard__showOnHover'); hoverCard.addEventListener('mouseenter', function() { gsap.to(hoverCardBodyShowOnHover, { duration: 0.5, display: 'block', height: 'auto', ease: 'power4.out' }); }); hoverCard.addEventListener('mouseleave', function() { gsap.to(hoverCardBodyShowOnHover, { duration: 0.5, height: 0, ease: 'power4.out', onComplete: function() { this.targets()[0].style.display = 'none'; }}); });

Here’s what the default version of the card looks like visually (shown on the right card) and how the hover interaction works (left card):
Note that the height of the card does not increase. Instead, the body moves up (within the card) to reveal the content.
Based on Kooilnc’s answer:
:root { --black: #000000; --white: #ffffff; --yellow: #FFE775; } /* general */ body { background-color: var(--white); color: var(--black); } section { margin: 100px 0 300px 0; } /* card */ .hoverCard { margin-bottom: 15px; width: 100%; border-radius: 8px; overflow: hidden; background-color: var(--black); color: var(--white); border: 1px solid var(--black); position: relative; /* added */ } .hoverCard * { transition: all 0.5s ease; } .hoverCard:hover .hoverCard__body { transform: translateY(-75px); } .hoverCard:hover .hoverCard__body .hoverCard__showOnHover { /* opacity: 1; visibility: visible; display: block; height: */ auto; overflow: initial; /* added */ height: auto; /* added */ max-height: 100px; /* added */ transform: translateY(75px); } .hoverCard__header { height: 200px; background-color: var(--yellow); } .hoverCard__showOnHover { overflow: hidden; max-height: 0; /* added */ transition: max-height 0.5s ease-in-out; /* added */ overflow: hidden; /* added */ } .hoverCard__body { width: 100%; padding: 30px 30px 40px 30px; }

Also, do we need to define a number for max-height: 100px;
? What if the content size is unknown and needs to be dynamic?

Pass the above content:
.hoverCard__body
(which should only fill the top 30px
).
The
trick is to set the text to be displayed to
max-height: 0
andoverflow: hide
. This is a minimal reproducible example.
