How to define the css :hover state in a jQuery selector?

Question

I need to define a div\'s background color on :hover with jQuery, but the following doesn\'t seem to work:

$(\".myclass:hover div\").css(\"background-color\         


        

Answer 1

Use JQuery Hover to add/remove class or style on Hover:

$( "mah div" ).hover(
  function() {
    $( this ).css("background-color","red");
  }, function() {
    $( this ).css("background-color",""); //to remove property set it to ''
  }
);
