You mean somethign like this:

var ss = "#menu li:hover>div";
$("div#menu li:parent").hover(
    function() {
        $(ss).show(); //this is the mousein
    },
    function() {
        $(ss).hide(); //this is the mouseout
    }
);

Remember that hover can take two callbacks, and the second callback will be called when the mouse leaves the element.
