Frequently Asked Questions Regarding hover effects :
Hover effect is simply a change (of color, size, shape, image, etc.) of some element while you put a mouse arrow over it.
The hover effect in CSS is used to improve user experience and make the site visually appealing.
1. If your hover effect is triggered by JavaScript, just use $. unbind(‘hover’);
2. If your hover style is triggered by class, then just use $. removeClass(‘hoverCssClass’);
