jquery un-hover

Question

I have this script to cause a background color on a paragraph on hover of link within the paragraph. What I don\'t know how to do is cause it to return to the original backgroun

Answer 1

There is a hover out handler in the jQuery documentation. That's where you'd want to return the color to the original. If all you are doing is changing color, why not use CSS?

$(function(){
    $(".box a").hover(function(){
        $(this).parent().css('background-color', '#fff200');
    },function(){
        $(this).parent().css('background-color', '#originalhexcolor');
    });
});
