How do I unbind “hover” in jQuery?

Question

How do I unbind \"hover\" in jQuery?

This does not work:

$(this).unbind(\'hover\');

Answer 1

$(this).unbind('mouseenter').unbind('mouseleave')

or more succinctly (thanks @Chad Grant):

$(this).unbind('mouseenter mouseleave')

Answer 2

Another solution is .die() for events who that attached with .live().

Ex.:

// attach click event for <a> tags
$('a').live('click', function(){});

// deattach click event from <a> tags
$('a').die('click');
