Q:

Image hover changes background colour and adds text

I have an image in a circle shape, when you hover over it I want the background to change to a solid colour and for text to appear.  This is what I have so far, it kind of works but the solid background starts square and turns into a circle, instead of just the circle colour changing?
Thanks

$( document ).ready(function() {
$(".abutton").click(function() {
  $('.path').attr('class', 'path path-animation');

  setTimeout(function() {
    $('.path').attr('class', 'path path-op');
    $(".abutton").attr("disabled","disabled");
  }, 5000);
});

});

A:

the problem is because you have an animation of 0.3seconds binded to the .slideTextUp div

$( document ).ready(function() {
$(".abutton").click(function() {
  $('.path').attr('class', 'path path-animation');

  setTimeout(function() {
    $('.path').attr('class', 'path path-op');
    $(".abutton").attr("disabled","disabled");
  }, 5000);
});

});
.slideTextUp img {
  margin-top:20px;
}

.slideTextUp div {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  text-align: center;
  display: table;
  -webkit-transition: all 0s ease;
  transition: all 0s ease; /*here is the problem instead of all you could use background-color (as suggested by 鄭元傑) and set the time back to 0.3s if you would like the animation to stay*/
}

.slideTextUp div:nth-child(2) { 
  top: 100%;
}

.slideTextUp:hover div {
  -webkit-transform: translateY(-100%);
  -ms-transform: translateY(-100%);
  transform: translateY(-100%);
background-color: red;
}
