Hi Dave,
This should get you started:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$( "#divCodeArea" )
.mouseover(function(event) {
$(event.target).addClass('outlineElement');
})
.mouseout(function(event) {
$(event.target).removeClass('outlineElement');
})
.click(function(event) {
$(event.target).toggleClass('outlineElementClicked');
});
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#divCodeArea
{
border: solid 2px gold;
padding: 10px;
}
.outlineElementClicked,
.outlineElement
{
outline: 1px solid red;
}
</style>
Note, I changed border to outline so it wouldn't mess with the
elements' dimensions.

Hi
Am a jquery novice and are trying to make code that adds a hover event
to all html elements within a certain container. On hover the element
should be outlined by adding/removiing a css class. Thats the first
thing and I can't get that to work with the code below.
The second part is to keep the element outlined when its clicked, and
also when selecting multiple elements by (ctrl+click).
Have searched for a outline plugin, but came up with nothing.
