Quick tip on jQuery hover event. There is a gotcha you may also run into, which is similar to one I’ve found in Actionscript 3.0…obj.hover(function(){}) works as expected in Firefox and IE. Binding the mouseover event seems to get different results in FF and IE.

I was unable to unbind the hover event with obj.unbind(”hover”) and obj.unbind(”mouseover”), so I did some searching around and came across this post. Apparently, the hover() method binds to the mouseenter and mouseleave events, so I just needed to unbind those. Oddly, I haven’t seen those events anywhere in the jQuery event docs, along with several other properties and methods. I’m not sure where an actual complete reference is if their site doesn’t even have it…
