Engage Users Dynamically: jQuery Hover Event for Element Interaction

It is an event handler for the hover event on an element with the ID elem. When the mouse enters the element, it adds a class named hover to it, and when the mouse leaves the element, it removes the hover class.

$(‘#elem’).hover(
function() {
// This function is executed when the mouse hover over the element with ID ‘elem’.

$(this).addClass(‘hover’); // Add the ‘hover’ class to the element.

},
function() {
// This function is executed when the mouse leaves the element with ID ‘elem’.

$(this).removeClass(‘hover’); // Remove the ‘hover’ class from the element.

}
);

  • $('#elem'): Selects the element with the ID elem.
  • .hover(): Binds two functions to the mouseenter and mouseleave events.
  • The first function is executed when the mouse enters the element, and it adds the class hover to the element using $(this).addClass('hover').
  • The second function is executed when the mouse leaves the element, and it removes the class hover from the element using $(this).removeClass('hover').
This code is commonly used to add a visual effect when hovering over an element, such as changing its background color or applying other styles.
