I'm trying something like this

 jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $('nav ul li').hover(
        function() {
            $('this.menu1bar').animate({ backgroundColor: "#95c938" }, "fast");
            $('this.menu2bar').animate({ backgroundColor: "#95c938" }, "fast");
        },
        function() {
            $('this.menu1bar').animate({ backgroundColor: "#a99672" }, "fast");
            $('this.menu2bar').animate({ backgroundColor: "#a99672" }, "fast");
       }
   );
   });

This should work:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $('#nav ul li').hover(
        function() {
            $(this).find('.menu1bar,.menu2bar').animate({ backgroundColor: "#95c938" }, "fast");
        },
        function() {
            $(this).find('.menu1bar,.menu2bar').animate({ backgroundColor: "#a99672" }, "fast");
       }
    );
});

Try using children() to select a specific element. Something like this:

$('this').children('.menu1bar').animate({ backgroundColor: "#95c938" }, "fast");

Edit:

Of course you can also use find(), but there's a difference:

• Find() searches all children, all levels, also grandchildren.
• Children() searches only first level children.

Please show your HTML Markup. I think that the problem might be in the following...

$('this.menu1bar')

try

$(this).find('.menu1bar')
