HOVER doesn't work on area tag in IE

Description

Hi,

In response to closed ticket #3183, mouseenter and mouseleave are the event fired by the HOVER function.

I am not the only one embarrassed http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/8fefc900532f7727

If I write this

jQuery("#myElement").hover(...)

that doesn't work on IE if myElement is an AREA element.

But it works perfectly on Firefox or on other elements (DIV, IMG, A...)

An example of the usefulness of wanting to do this :

  • beautify tooltips on areas of the image
  • display more details in areas of an image when mouseover

...

Cheers

Dup of #3030.

This is not the same issue as #3030. This issue is specifically regarding the <area> element. Setting mouseenter does not work in ie including jquery 1.6
