Mouseover v/s hover in Jquery
html, jquery
Solution
The hover() function is more high level - it's built to call functions to handle both a mouseenter event and a mouseleave event. It's very convenient for a UI element that has a hover and normal state (e.g. a button.)
The mouseover() function specifically binds to the mouseover event. It's best for situations where you only care when the mouse has crossed the border into an element and you don't really care what happens if it leaves. It's also the function to call when you want to trigger the event on some element.
