I wanted to create a paragraph on which if a user hovers the mouse, it should display an alert box. But the code that I typed did not work. As soon as the mouse entered the page the box displayed. I only want it to display when the mouse is on the paragraph. The code was :

<html>
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$('document').ready(function(){
    $('#p1').hover(
        alert("you have entered p1 .")
    );
});
</script>
<body>
    <p id="p1">hover here!!</p>
</body>
</html>

    Working example on jsFiddle.

    Try this:

    $('#p1').hover(
    alert("you have entered p1 .");
);

    or:

    $('#p1').hover(
    function() {
        alert("you have entered p1 .");
    },
    function() {
        alert('you have exited p1 .');
    }
);
