[jQuery] jquery hover in ie

[Jarrod]

Hi,

I have a small problem when using the hover effect in ie (6 and 7)

When hover is applied to the area tag (hotspots in an image map) it
doesn't seem to fire the events, but mouseover and mouseout do (which
I ultimately used to solve the problem).

so
    area.hover( function() {alert("on")},function() {alert("off")});

didn't work

but
    area.mouseover( function() {alert("on")});
    area.mouseout( function() {alert("off")});
did work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jarrod
