bind() doesn't support hover events

[anonymous]

When using live() or delegate(), I can use "hover" as a shortcut for "mouseover mouseout". bind() does not yet support this.

"hover" is a shortcut to:

this.mouseenter( fnOver ).mouseleave( fnOut || fnOver );

which is essentially a shortcut to:

this.bind("mousenter", fnOver).bind("mouseleave", fnOut || fnOver );

Why would you want to add another layer to that?

Also, .bind("hover" ...) does not deliver a hover event to the handler. You either get a mouseenter or a mousleave event. For the sake of those that are destined to maintain the code, just say .bind("mouseenter mouseleave" ...) and make it clear what you are doing.
