jQuery trigger mouseout event

Question

Is it possible to trigger a mouseout event on a link element using jQuery ?

I.e. Something of the sort

$(linkEle).mouseout()

I want this to work on an iPad, which even though does not have any mouse cursor, does actually have the event...

Answer 1

Yes, jquery has a mouseout event handler - http://api.jquery.com/mouseout/

$('some_selector_here').mouseout(function() { 
  // Do some stuff
}

$('some_selector_here').trigger('mouseout');
