background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#fafafa), color-stop(70%,#fcfcfc), color-stop(100%)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #fafafa 0%,#fcfcfc 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */

/* Rounded corners */
-moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 0px 0px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 0px 0px;
border-radius: 5px 5px 0px 0px;
}

.menuItem:hover .flyout
 {
display:block;
top:auto;
left:0px;
}

how would you call those 2 class on a onclick function?

Answer 1

Use jQuery to add/remove or toggle a class:

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $("p").click(function () {
        $('.menuItem').addClass('flyout');
    });
});

This in CSS:

.flyout {
    display:block;
    top:auto;
    left:0px;
}
