Noticing a problem with .status.hover

Maybe this is addressed later in the course, but I'm noticing that my styling for .status.hover doesn't seem to work in certain situations. It works fine when the statuses page is freshly loaded, however when I come to the page from the back link on an edit page it doesn't seem to work. The admin links remain hidden and the color change doesn't happen either.

How can I fix this?

This is from my statuses.scss file:

.status{
    border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC;
    padding: 5x 0;
}

.status p{
    margin: 4px 0;
}

.status.hover {
    background: #FAFAFA;
}

.status .admin {
    display: none;
}

.status.hover .admin {
    display: inline;
}

And this is from the coffeescript:

$ ->
    $('.status').hover (event) ->
        $(this).toggleClass("hover")

This is caused by turbolinks. When you load a fresh page, that triggers a different event than when you go to that page through a link. It was designed to make the page faster, but has some side effects. You just have to set up your function to respond to standard page load AND turbolink events. This should help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18770517/rails-4-how-to-use-document-ready-with-turbo-links
