jQuery - hover()

Hover is simply a combination of mouseover and mouseout. jQuery combines the two and makes it a little easier to write. It takes two arguments which are the anonymous functions.

MouseOver each of these alerts.

jQuery method - alert #1
Javascript method - alert #2

//jQuery method
$("#alert1").hover(function () { $("#demo1").html("hovering over well 1"); }, function () { $("#demo1").html("leaving well 1"); });

//Javascript method
document.getElementById("alert2").addEventListener("mouseover", function () { document.getElementById("demo1").innerHTML = "entering well 2"; });
document.getElementById("alert2").addEventListener("mouseout", function () { document.getElementById("demo1").innerHTML = "leaving well 2"; });
