Question

How to replace “home” button with another text when I hover by mouse on it instead of it repeating itself?

<ul class="topnav">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
</ul>


jQuery(function($) {

    $('.topnav li').find('a[href]').parent().each(function(span, li){
        li = $(li); span = $('<span>' + li.find('a').html() + '<\/span>');
        li.hover(function(){
        span.stop().animate({marginTop: '-60'}, 250);
        }, function(){
        span.stop().animate({marginTop: '0'}, 250);
        }).prepend(span);
    });

});

Check my variant http://jsfiddle.net/3YNHp/5/

It uses markup:

<ul class="topnav">
    <li>
        <a href="#" data-hover-text="Mohe">Home</a>
    </li>
</ul>

And changed javascript:

$('.topnav li').find('a[href]').parent().each(function() {
    var li   = $(this),
        a    = li.find('a'),
        span = $('<span>' + a.data('hover-text') + '<\/span>');

    li.hover(function() {
        a.stop().animate({marginTop: '-64'}, 250);
    },
    function() {
        a.stop().animate({marginTop: '0'}, 250);
    })
    .append(span);
});
