Karl coded:

  $('.house, .senate').mouseover(function(event) {
    $(event.target).addClass('highlight');

  }).mouseout(function(event) {
    $(event.target).removeClass('highlight');
  });


I did not notice then in prior posts.  Guess I completely missed it.

What is target, and how does it differ from "this"?  It seems to work
as I was wanting- i.e. only the particular one you are on.  No
children to inherit the method.

Am I understanding correctly?
