When I'm writing the code for the hover event,
$ ->
$('.status').hover (event) ->
console.log("Hover triggered")
I get the heading in the console but I get no actual reaction to the code.

fixed.

Courses Plus Student 5,497 PointsThe only thing that bit of code does is it displays "Hover triggered" in the console, when you over over something with a class of "status". If you are seeing this in the console it is working.

2,569 PointsThanks Jody,
So what is causing the hover event to not actually work?
When I'm hovering over the statuses, edit and delete do not appear
Jody Albritton
Courses Plus Student 5,497 PointsThe relevant code should be
$ ->
$('.status').hover (event) ->
$(this).toggleClass("hover")
If you have the matching CSS it should appear.

2,569 PointsI do have the matching CSS because if I inspect the element and edit it by adding hover class in in the <div class = "status"> it shows the edit and delete options

Courses Plus Student 5,497 PointsHave you downloaded the project files and looked at them?

2,569 PointsYes and everything is matching.

Courses Plus Student 5,497 PointsMaybe Jason or Jim could take a look at this.
