Question

Is it possible to store DIV name into variable when I hover over it?

Example:

<div class="bar1">Text 1</div>
<div class="bar2">Text 2</div>

And when I hover over “Text 1”, name of a DIV will be stored in jQuery variable. And when I hover to “Text 2” DIV name will be stored to variable.

var class_name = $(""); DIV name stored in there

Answer 1

Sure…

$('.bar1,.bar2').mouseover(function(event){
    var class_name = $(event.currentTarget).attr('class');
});​

…see it running here.
