I know this has an accepted answer but if anyone comes upon this, my solution may help.

I found this question because I have a use-case where I wanted to turn off the :hover state for elements individually. Since there is no way to do this in the DOM, another good way to do it is to define a class in CSS that overrides the hover state.

For instance, the css:

.nohover:hover {
    color: black !important;
}

Then with jQuery:

$("#elm").addClass("nohover");

With this method, you can override as many DOM elements as you would like without binding tons of onHover events.

I would suggest to use CSS over jquery   if possible  otherwise you can use something like this     div myclass   hover function         this  css  background-color   red         You can change your selector as per your need   As commented by  A Wolff  If you want to use this hover effect to multiple classes  you can use it like this      myclass   myclass2   hover function e           this  css  background-color  e type      mouseenter   red   transparent         Js Fiddle Demo

Well  you can t add styling using pseudo selectors like  hover   after   nth-child  or anything like that using jQuery    If you want to add a CSS rule like that you have to create a  lt style gt  element and add that  hover rule to it just like you would in CSS  Then you would have to add that  lt style gt  element to the page   Using the  hover function seems to be more appropriate if you can t just add the css to a stylesheet  but if you insist you can do      head   append   lt style gt  myclass hover div  background-color   red   lt  style gt     If you want to read more on adding CSS with javascript you can check out one of David Walsh s Blog posts
