cannot use .bind() to bind hover

Question

I experimenting with jQuery. As I was trying I found out that I can\'t use hover event with .bind. And I don\'t know what is wrong.

$(document).ready(function()         


        

Answer 1

Not much of a why, but it is simply not in the spec. Check the doc - hover is not listed in the bindable events.
