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?
