The below code works -
$("#x").hover(function() {
alert("hovered");
});
But the below code does not. Please explain why?
$("#x").on("hover", function() {
alert("hovered");
});
Note - #x is a button element. and the above code works for "click" event
From jQuery .on()'s documentation:
Deprecated in jQuery 1.8, removed in 1.9: The name
"hover"used as a shorthand for the string"mouseenter mouseleave". It attaches a single event handler for those two events, and the handler must examineevent.typeto determine whether the event ismouseenterormouseleave. Do not confuse the"hover"pseudo-event-name with the.hover()method, which accepts one or two functions.
You could pass an object to the on method:
$("#x").on({
mouseenter: function() {
// ...
},
mouseleave: function() {
// ...
}
});
And if you want to delegate the events:
$('#aStaticParentOfX').on({
mouseenter: function() {
// ...
},
mouseleave: function() {
// ...
}
}, "#x");
Even the .live() has depricated from jQuery 1.9 if your version is below 1.9 you can use
$("#x").live("hover", function() {
alert("hovered");
});
First: jQuery hover need 2 functions as arguments More here: http://api.jquery.com/hover/
$('#x').hover(
function() {
// your 'mouseenter' event handle
}, function() {
// your 'mouseleave' event handle
});
Second: you can simply use CSS hover pseudo-class if your code operate on the same element (#x)
#x:hover {
// this will be added to #x when 'mouseenter', and remove when 'mouseleave'
background-color: red;
}
try this..
$("#x").on("mouseover", function () {
//wrire your code here
});
if you populated elements through javascript,use the following. It is replacement for deprecated jQuery.live.
$("body").on("mouseover","#x", function () {
//wrire your code here
});
