Change body bgcolor on hovering a "a" link

baumiao

Hi.
I have put this script in "Custom <head> content" but only the " 'a' links" of nav change the color of body background. The others " 'a' links" in the "#main-region" don't work.

Seems there is a problem between the dynamic content loading and my event jquery, right?

Hey baumiao!
Right you are :)

Try it like this:

<script>
jQuery(document).on("mouseenter", "a", function(){
jQuery("body").css("background-color", "red");
});

jQuery(document).on("mouseleave", "a", function(){
jQuery("body").css("background-color", "black");
});
</script>

You see, I'm writing it a bit differently, doing so called "delegated" event binding. Here is a description about it:
