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

If you must use jQuery for this, use addClass() rather than css():

$('.box a').hover(function(){
    $(this).closest('.box').addClass('hoveredOver');
}, function(){
    $(this).closest('.box').removeClass('hoveredOver');
});

With the CSS:

.hoveredOver {
    background-color: #fff;
}
