Question

I have 2 div tag. The first contains a table. The second contains some text. When the page is loaded both div have no background-color. When there is an hover on a td of the first div, the second div background-color is set to yellow (see code below). My problem is that when I leave the table with the mouse, the background of the second div stays yellow. I would like the color to be remove on leaving the hover state. Hope someone can help. Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc.

My HTML :

​<div id="div-one">
    <table>
        <tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr>
        <tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
        <tr><td>5</td><td>6</td></tr>
        <tr><td>7</td><td>8</td></tr>                   
    </table>
</div>

​<div id="div-two">
    some text
</div>

My JS:

$(document).on("hover", "#div-one td", function() { 

    $("#div-two").css("background-color":"yellow");
});​

Use mouseenter and mouseleave events separately – which is actually a “hover” event:

$(document).on({
    mouseenter: function() {
        $("#div-two").css("background-color", "yellow");
    },
    mouseleave: function() {
        $("#div-two").css("background-color", "");
    }
}, "#div-one td");​
