How do I get the div background to change when I mouse over a link - using jQuery?

I have a background image on a div and I would like to change its position fr开发者_C百科om center bottom to center top when I mouse over the link which is in the div.

I don't speak jQuery very well, I am kind of like the American in France, knowing little more than parlez vous, but here goes.

Here is the html:

<div class="video-link">
 <a href="#">Watch the Pack It Videos Now.</a>
</div>

Here is the CSS:

.video-link { 
        width: 610px;
        height: 68px;
        background: url(../_images/btn_horz-video.png) no-repeat center bottom;
        margin: 10px 0 10px 50px; 
        }

.video-link a { 
        color: #000; 
        text-decoration: none; 
        border: none;
        font-size: 18px;
        display: block;
        padding: 25px 0 0 90px; font-weight: bold; }                                                    

And last but not least, here is the jQuery:

$(".video-link a").hover(function() {
  $(this).closest(".div").css({ 'background-position': 'top center' });
  }, function() {
  $(this).closest(".div").css({ 'background-position': 'bottom center' });
});

Here is the page - It is the Watch the Pack It Videos Now image about midway down the page.

Thanks.

I would just change it to this:

$(".video-link").hover(
    function()
    {
        $(this).css({ 'background-position': 'top center' });
    },
    function()
    {
        $(this).css({ 'background-position': 'bottom center' });
    });

I tested it on your site and it worked.

EDIT: What I did was remove the a and just applied the hover to the div. Then I took out the closest method call and just applied the css change to this since it now applies to the div. Obviously this wouldn't work if other places are using this css but I didn't see any.

In your .closest(selector), instead of ".div" you just need "div", like this:

$(".video-link a").hover(function() {
  $(this).closest("div").css({ 'background-position': 'top center' });
}, function() {
  $(this).closest("div").css({ 'background-position': 'bottom center' });
});

.div is a class selector looking for a class="div" element, whereas div is an element selector, looking for <div>.
