You can use .hover(). It's can be used like so:

$("selector").hover(
    function (){
        //mouse over
    },
    function (){
       //mouse out
    }
);

An example of it's use from the documentation is here:

$("li").hover(
  function () {
    $(this).append($(" ***"));
  }, 
  function () {
    $(this).find("span:last").remove();
  }
);
