Currently, I am delving into jQuery and have stumbled upon a section that perplexes me. Due to my lack of familiarity with the terminology, conducting an effective Google search has proven difficult. Therefore, I decided to craft this question to elucidate my specific objectives.
Here is a snippet of my HTML code:
<div class="contentLarge">
<a href=""><header>Employ responsive design.</header></a>
<div class="contentFlex">
<div class="contentFlex1"></div>
<div class="contentFlex2"></div>
</div>
What I desire is for the background of the entire contentLarge container to alter when I hover over the anchor link. It should be noted that there are multiple instances of these containers scattered throughout my page.
Below is the accompanying jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".contentLarge header").mouseenter(function(){
$(".contentLarge").css({"background-color": "red"})
});
});
My understanding is that the current implementation changes the background color of all contentLarge containers when hovered over. This outcome is not what I intended.
Upon attempting to utilize the $(this) selector within the function, it becomes evident that only the header experiences a color change instead of the entire contentLarge section:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".contentLarge header").mouseenter(function(){
$("this").css({"background-color": "red"})
});
});
How can I modify the code so that $(this) effectively targets the container, facilitating the alteration of only its background color to red rather than affecting all containers or solely the header?
