Hover Captions (HCaptions)

Hover Captions (here in after: HCaptions) is a jQuery plugin that enables you to display caption overlays with cool effects over images, div's, ect..

Demo Site

Initialize plugin

$(window).load(function(){
  $('.hcaption').hcaptions();
});

Example markup

This example uses the data-target attribute to target the content:

<a href="#" data-target="#myToggle" class="hcaption"><img src="img/cupcakes.png"></a>
<div id="myToggle" class="hide">
  <h5>Example Image</h5>
  <p>
    Content..
  </p>
</div>

Magic attributes

With magic attributes you can override the settings for individual captions. A magic attribute is a attribute prepended with cap- for example to override the effect you would use cap-effect="fade"

Example magic attribute markup

<a href="#" data-target="#myToggle" class="hcaption" cap-effect="fade" cap-height="200"><img src="img/cupcakes.png"></a>
<div id="myToggle" class="hide">
  <h5>Example Image</h5>
  <p>
    Content..
  </p>
</div>
