[jQuery] mouseover/mouseout vs. hover
in Using jQuery
•
14 years ago
I'm new to jQuery and I have to say I love it! I hate javascript but
now I like it cuz of query. Anyways enough of that :)
I'm a CSS developer also. I know that the :hover pseudo element
doesn't work in IE 6 so I always have to use javascript using
mouseover/mouseout events.
My question is, in jQuery is hover using the CSS or using acting as a
backend mouseover event?
Final question... what should i use hover or mouseover... making sure
it works on IE7, Firefox and IE6.
Thanks!

Re: [jQuery] mouseover/mouseout vs. hover

The jQuery hover event is a javascript mouseover/mouseout event.
You would do:
$('element').hover(mouseOverEvent,mouseOutEvent);
One of the really nice things built into the hover event, is it deals with
parent/child elements cleanly. If you have a TD that contains a P and an A
element, but the hover is assigned to the TD, hover will prevent the
mouseover/mouseout from firing when you stay inside the TD and move around
the child P and A elements. This prevents a very annoying flickering.
I hope that made sense. :-)

I think u can use both, hover and mouseover. jQuery uses javascript to treat it.

charlie,
(un)fortunately you'll have to do a bit of jquery magic, and i'd suggest
using the hover method, where you define two functions, one for when
mouse on, on for mouse off, like so:
$('div').hover(function(){
//do your mouseover magic, eg:
$(this).addClass('hover');
}, function() {
//mouseoff magic
$(this).removeClass('hover');
});
and all methods in jquery work in all browsers..
dennis.

Ok I am new to this so here's my old code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#nav > li").mouseover(function(){
$(this).addClass("over");})
.mouseout(function(){
$(this).removeClass("over");});
});
I need that in hover version. I'm assuming it's supposed to be much
shorter.

Thanks Rafael... Thanks Everyone!
It works great, man I'm loving this simple jQuery syntax.
One more question though... why use the shorcut version vs.
document.ready?
I mean if this is the case why'd they even make document.ready?

$(document).ready is the original and is what happens behind the scenes ... the shortcut is because we don't like typing. :)
