jquery hover not working in safari and chrome

Question

I'm developing a site and I am implementing a jquery hover effect on some list items. It works perfectly in all browser except safari and chrome (mac and pc). For some reason the hover effect doesnt work on those to browsers.

Here is the link link text

I thought I would add the code just in case it helps (it also uses the color_library.js file that can be found in the head of the document).

   $(document).ready(function()
                           {
var originalBG = $("#menu li#Q_01","#menu li#Q_03","#menu li#Q_05","#menu li#Q_07","#menu li#Q_09","#menu li#Q_11","#menu li#Q_11").css("background-color");

var originalBG1 = $("#menu li").css("color");

var originalBG2 = $("#menu li#Q_02","#menu li#Q_04","#menu li#Q_06","#menu li#Q_08","#menu li#Q_10","#menu li#Q_12").css("background-color");

var fadeColor = "#009FDD"; 
var fadeColor1 = "#FFF";
var fadeColor2 = "#623A10"; 

$("#menu li#Q_01").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor2,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },
  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
  }
  );

$("#menu li#Q_03").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor2,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },
  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
  }
  );

$("#menu li#Q_05").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor2,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },
  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
  }
  );

$("#menu li#Q_07").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor2,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },
  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
  }
  );

$("#menu li#Q_09").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor2,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },
  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
  }
  );

$("#menu li#Q_11").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor2,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },
  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
  }
  );

$("#menu li#Q_13").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor2,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },
  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
  }
  );



$("#menu li#Q_02").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },

  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
    }
   );

$("#menu li#Q_04").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },

  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
    }
   );

$("#menu li#Q_06").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },

  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
    }
   );

$("#menu li#Q_08").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },

  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
    }
   );

$("#menu li#Q_10").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },

  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
    }
   );

$("#menu li#Q_12").hover( function () {
    $(this).animate( { backgroundColor:fadeColor,color:fadeColor1}, 380 )
    },

  function () {
    $(this).animate( {color:"#666",backgroundColor:"#fff"}, 380 )
    }
   );


});

Thanks for any advice ;)

Put an A tag inside your LIs. Style and animate the links, not the LIs.
