intermittent hover bug

intermittent hover bug

Hi,

I have setup a simple hover background fade within a list of links (vertical sub-navigation), I have used jquery.color.js with the example code below:

var originalBG = $("#nav-sublinks li").css("background-color");
var fadeColor = "#F4F5FF";
$("#nav-sublinks li").hover( function () {
$(this).stop().animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor}, 750 )
},
function () {
$(this).stop().animate( {backgroundColor:"#E3E4EE"}, 450 )
}
);

It works...but intermittently the hover state will stay on once the mouse has moved to another link. Can anyone help me with this issue?
