Question

I’ve got the script below

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var ChildMenusFound = $(".menu_Child").hover(function () {
            //Mouse Over
                            alert('ok');
            $(this).toggleClass("menu_hover");
        }, function () {
            //Mouse Out
                            alert('ok');
            $(this).toggleClass("menu_hover");
        });
    });
</Script>

The html I’m outputting is as follows:

<ul alt="" class="menu_Root">
<li class="menu_Child>"
<a href="/Admin" alt="">Admin</a>
<ul alt="" class="menu_Child">
<li class="menu_SubMenu>"
<a href="/Admin/Statistics" alt="">Statistics</a></li>
<li class="menu_SubMenu>"
<a href="/Admin/Database" alt="">Database</a></li>
</ul></li>

<li class="menu_Child>"
<a href="/MyAccount" alt="">My Account</a>
<ul alt="" class="menu_Child">
<li class="menu_SubMenu>"
<a href="/MyAccount/Profile" alt="">Profile</a></li>
</ul></li>

</ul>

after the call to hover(),ChildMenusFound contains 2 elements, firefox shows no JS errors, yet mouseover/out of the li elements doesn’t cause anything to happen.

Can someone please identify my mistake?

Answer 1

Your markup is broken. You’ve got quote marks outside the tags. It also looks like you’re missing a </li> somewhere for that first outer </li> but it’s hard to tell.
