jquery un-hover

Question

I have this script to cause a background color on a paragraph on hover of link within the paragraph. What I don\'t know how to do is cause it to return to the original backgroun

Answer 1

The function below works as onmouseover and onmouseout

$(function () {
    $(".box a").hover(function () {
        $(this).parent().css('background-color', '#fff200');
    }, function () {
        // change to any color that was previously used.
        $(this).parent().css('background-color', '#fff200');
    });
});
