<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {  
    // all jQuery code goes here  
    $("li").hover(function(){
        $(this).prepend("<span>(</span>");
    },function(){

    });
    /*
    function (){
        $("li").remove();

    $("li.fade").hover(function(){
        $(this).fadeOut(100);
        $(this).fadeIn(300);

<ul id="1"> 
    <li class="fade" ><a href="server43.hostpoint.ch/~raffael1/web2.roboearth/">What is RoboEarth?</a></li>

</ul>

i'm guessing that you want the brackets appear on mouse over, and removed on mouse out.

jquery hover first callback is for the mouse over state, the second for mouse out, thus:

$("li").hover(
    function() {
        // mouse over
        $(this).prepend("<span>(</span>");
        $(this).append("<span>)</span>");
        },
    function() {
        // mouse out
        $(this).find('span').remove();
        }
    );
