title: jQuery Hover Method

# jQuery Hover Method
The jquery hover method is a combination of the ```mouseenter``` and ```mouseleave``` events.
The syntax is this:
```
$(selector).hover(inFunction, outFunction);
```
The first function, inFunction, will run when the ```mouseenter``` event occurs.
The second function is optional, but will run when the ```mouseleave``` event occurs.
If only one function is specified, the other function will run for both the ```mouseenter``` and ```mouseleave``` events.
Below is a more specific example.
```
$("p").hover(function(){
$(this).css("background-color", "yellow");
}, function(){
$(this).css("background-color", "pink");
});
```
So this means that hover on paragraph will change its background color to yellow and the opposite will change back to pink.
