Does jQuery have a handleout for .delegate('hover')?

Question

I am trying to use:

$(\'mydiv\').delegate(\'hover\', function() {  
    $(\'seconddiv\').show();  
}, function() {  
    //For some reason jQuery won\'t ru

EDIT: misinformation removed.

If you want to use the hover() method without delegation, working code would look like this:

$('#mydiv').hover(function() {  
    $('#seconddiv').show();  
}, function() {  
    $('#seconddiv').hide();  
});

Second of all, delegate is to assign an event handler to a child, so you need to specify a selector first. If you need to make sure this event handler exists for dynamically added elements, I would prefer .live() in this case with mouseenter and mouseleave.

$('#mydiv').live('mouseenter', function() {  
    $('#seconddiv').show();  
}).live('mouseleave', function() {  
    $('#seconddiv').hide();  
});
