Question

Answer 1

A:

$("#MyElementID").mouseover(function() { $(this).attr("background-color", "red");  } );

I think the above is about right.

or use something like from the jQuery site;

$("#MyElementID").hover(
  function () {
    $(this).addClass("hover");
  },
  function () {
    $(this).removeClass("hover");
  }
);

The first example should be `$(this).css("background-color","red");`. Note the `css()` call instead of the `attr()` call.

Hi Bryan Ross, thanks, but i need text highlighting for each character when the mouse is moved, not for the entire div.

@user440367 maybe you want to be more specific in your question as this is not clear.

+1 @Bryan Ross, yeah good pickup thanks.

griegs 2010-09-06 06:12:49

hi griegs, for eg there is a <p>Lorem ipsum</p> When i move the mouse over the characters. it should be highlighted with any bg-color.

Are you saying as the mouse moves across a character, you want to be able to change the background color of that specific character?

Bryan Ross 2010-09-06 06:23:21
