Question

How do I unbind \"hover\" in jQuery?

This does not work:

$(this).unbind(\'hover\');

Answer 1

Unbind the mouseenter and mouseleave events individually or unbind all events on the element(s).

$(this).unbind('mouseenter').unbind('mouseleave');

or

$(this).unbind();  // assuming you have no other handlers you want to keep
