JQuery, Passing Parameters

I'm working with some very basic jquery code and would like to condense what I've done into one function with passed parameters.

I have a few of these:

$(".about").hover(function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/about_over.gif");
        }, function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/about_off.gif");
});


$(".artists").hover(function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/artists_over.gif");
        }, function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/artists_on.gif");
});


$(".help").hover(function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/help_over.gif");
        }, function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/help_off.gif");
});

But would obviously like to pass the the title of the image ("about", artists", "help") so that I could cut down on repeated code.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Ronnie

I'm not sure what's going on with the second function in the hover function, but you can do something like this:

$(".about .artists .help").hover(function(){
    $(this).attr('src','_img/nav/' + $(this).attr('class') + '_over.gif')
});

you can apply the same principle to your on/off gifs too.

function hover(img) {
    $("."+img).hover(function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/"+img+"_over.gif");
       }, function() {
    $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/"+img+"_off.gif");
    });
}

function HoverPic(name){
    $("."+name).hover(function() {
        $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/"+name+"_over.gif");
            }, function() {
        $(this).attr("src","_img/nav/"+name+"_off.gif");
    });
}

You could something like this:

function ElementHover(class_name, src_over, src_off) {
   $("."+class_name+"").hover(function() {
      $(this).attr("src", src_over);
      }, function() {
      $(this).attr("src", src_off);
   });

}
