CHAPTER 3

1. You can use the mouseover() or on('mouseover') method. If you use deprecated meth-
   ods, in addition, you can use bind('mouseover') or live('mouseover').

Extra Credit: Use the hover() method.

2. The on() method.


3. The event.target property is used to check to see which descendant element has
   received the event. The event then bubbles up from that element to the element that the
   event handler is attached to.

   event to apply to on the parent or container element that contains the elements you
   want the event to apply to. This can also be the document object.
