Thumbnails fadein fadeout specific div

  • I am using this code to hide and show a div based on which thumbnail you rollover;


    $(document).ready(function(){
    $('div.infodiv').hide();
    $(\".website_thumbs a\").hover(
    function(){
    var name = $(this).attr(\"name\");
    $(\".infodiv\").stop();
    $(\".\"+name).stop().fadeIn();
    },
    function(){
    var name = $(this).attr(\"name\");
    $(\".\"+name).stop().fadeTo(7000,1).fadeOut();
    });
    });


    The script gets the name attribute from the thumbnail and displays the div with the corresponding class. Each div shares the .infodiv class but also has a class unique to each thumbnail.

    The functionality is basically where I want it but when you scroll over the thumbnails fast some of the divs get stuck in a kind of half faded-in state and stop working unless i roll over them once - then they slow fade in and they are usable again.

    I am a bit new to jQuery and would appreciate any help.
