jQuery hover(): mouseout does not fire when using overflow:auto (with scrollbars)

I'm using jQuery's hover() helper to attach some behavior to <li> elements in a <ul> with max-height and overflow:auto CSS properties.

jQuery - Calling a function inline

I am trying to pass one variable to a jQuery function inline (ie: using an onMouseOver="function();" within the actual link (which is an area tag from an image map)).

Detecting "value" of input text field after a keydown event in the text field?
