Jquery - add class on hover

Question

I want when mouse goes on li jquery add a class to the element:

  
Menu Item
  
Menu Item         


        

Answer 1

This will work, when you mouse over li it will add is_hovered to li and remove from other li.

$(".menu li").mouseover(function(){
    $(".menu li").removeClass("is_hovered");
    $(this).addClass("is_hovered");
});
