Showing/hiding content with jQuery

Question

I have content in a div that needs to be displayed only when I have a specific element in my page.

This is my css code:

.my-div { display: none }

This is my jQuery code:

   $(document).ready(function(){
      $('.show-div').hover(function() {
         $('my-div').show();
      });
   });        

And this is my HTML:

<div class="my-div">
   <p>Hello World</p>
</div>
<a href="#" class="show-div">Show content</a>

It actually works fine except I'm not sure how to hide my content again upon moving the mouse away from my "Show content" link. Is there some sort of "unhover" method?

Answer 1

$().hover() supports handlerIn and handlerOut parameters:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('.show-div').hover(function() {
      $(this).show();
   }, function() {
      $(this).hide();
   });
}); 

Answer 2

just to answer Is there some sort of "unhover" method? this part specifically you can use blur like so

$(document).ready(function(){
      $('.show-div').blur(function() {
         $('my-div').hide();
      });
   });
