Question

I have a simple Tab switcher, right now you click on a tab to switch it but I would like to change it to a hover to switch instead.

Below is the code and the JSFiddle shows it in action right now with the click event http://jsfiddle.net/jasondavis/p95nJ/

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

    //tabs
     $("ul.tabrow li:first").addClass("active").show(); //Activate first tab
    $(".tab-content div:first").show(); //Show first tab content
    //On Click Event
    $("ul.tabrow li").click(function() {
        $("ul.tabrow li").removeClass("active"); //Remove any "active" class
        $(this).addClass("active"); //Add "active" class to selected tab
        $(".tab-box").hide(); //Hide all tab content
        var activeTab = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); //Find the rel attribute value to identify the active tab + content
        $(activeTab).fadeIn(); //Fade in the active content
        return false;
    });

});

If you can help I would really appreciate it. I do NOT want to use jQueryUI

The HTML

<div class="tab-wrap">
    <ul class="tabrow">

        <li class=""><a href="#tab_recent">Recent Articles</a></li>
        <li class="active"><a href="#tab_tools">Tools</a></li>
    </ul>


    <div class="tab-content">
        <div id="tab_tags" class="tab-box" style="display: none; ">
            <div class="taglist">
                <ul id="tag-list">

to

$("ul.tabrow li").hover(function() {})
