jquery hover().addClass() problem

Question

http://jsfiddle.net/aBaw6/2/

This demo does not add class when you hover a list item.

What am I doing wrong here?

$(\"li\").hover(
  function

Your JavaScript was badly formed:

$("li").hover(
  function () {
    $(this).addClass('hover);
  }, 
  function () {
    $(this).removeClass("hover");
  }
);

Should be:

$("li").hover(
  function () {
    $(this).addClass('hover');
  }, 
  function () {
    $(this).removeClass('hover');
  }
  );

If you click on the JS Lint button to the top of the screen it would've told you this (this isn't intended as a criticism, just a note for your future use of JS Fiddle).
