mouseover and mouseenter is not the same. mouseover bubbles mouseenter
not. This means with mouseover/mouseout your handler will be called
everytime you mouseover/mouseout a descendant element. With mouseenter
your eventhandler is pnly called, if the mouse enters your element.
This is the problem, why you need to handle this special with live-
event. To get this work you have to use mouseover to simulate
mouseenter...

btw: using mouseenter/mouseover/mouseleave/mouseout-events with live
can add a lot overhead to your app. I don´t think, that you should use
this unthought. But it will make much sense with the upcomming feature
to bind the listener to another context than document in jquery 1.3.3.
