JS fadeIn, fadeOut troubles

I have a pure CSS rollover that I'm trying to add a smooth transition/fade effect to and I can't seem to get it to go.

When you hover over the div "online", a new div "online-hover" appears. "Online" is the default with a background image, then the new div "online-hover" should fade in on top with a new background image. I have the HTML & CSS working, but now I'm trying to add JS to make it look pretty. Example:

<div id="sidebar">
  <div class="steps online">
<div class="steps-hover online-hover"></div>    
  </div>
</div>

And the CSS

.steps{
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: block;
width: 240px;
text-align: center;
height: 234px;
cursor: pointer;
 } 
.online{
background: url("images/applyonline.jpg") top left no-repeat;
}
.online-hover{
background: url("images/online-hover.jpg") top left no-repeat;
}
.steps-hover{
display: none;
}
div.online:hover div.online-hover {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 960px;
text-align: center;
height: 180px;
position: absolute; 
top: 234px;
display: block;
left: 0;
z-index: 3;
right: 0px;
cursor: auto;
}

And from following examples in other posts, I attempted the following JS

<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function()
{    
$("div.online").hover(
  function () {
    $("div.online-hover").fadeIn('slow');
  }, 
  function () {
    $("div.online-hover").fadeOut('slow');
  }
);
});​

</script>

But it's not working. What did I do wrong? I'm so not good at JS, so feel free to dummy it down for me!

You have an illegal char at the end of document ready closing braces remove it. It is better seen in fiddle.

$(document).ready(function()
{    
$("div.online").hover(
  function () {
    $("div.online-hover").stop(true, true, true).fadeIn('slow');
  }, 
  function () {
    $("div.online-hover").stop(true, true, true).fadeOut('slow');
  }
);
});​ //<-- here

Also use .stop() to prevent any previous queued up animation from running and changing the normal behavior when you make frequent hovers.
