jQuery Hover Method

The jquery hover method is a combination of the mouseenter and mouseleave events. The syntax is this:

$(selector).hover(inFunction, outFunction);

The first function, inFunction, will run when the mouseenter event occurs. The second function is optional, but will run when the mouseleave event occurs. If only one function is specified, the other function will run for both the mouseenter and mouseleave events. Below is a more specific example.

$("p").hover(function(){
    $(this).css("background-color", "yellow");
}, function(){
    $(this).css("background-color", "pink");
});

So this means that hover on paragraph will change it's background color to yellow and the opposite will change back to pink.
