Add div on hover using jquery

I build a project something like "trip planner" but I need to add on my cloned div-object an verticl line on left border with css:

.line
  { width:5px, height:200px; background:red;}

so to be something like this (you can see on hover an vertical line)

I was try to do this with code:

$(function() {
    //$( ".draggable" ).resizable();
    $( ".draggable" ).draggable({
      revert: 'invalid', 
      helper:"clone",
      snap: "#drop_here td", 
      opacity: 0.7
    });
    $( "#drop_here td" ).droppable({
      // accept only from left div, 
      // this is necessary  to prevent clones duplicating inside droppable
      accept: '#left .draggable',
      drop: function( event, ui ) {
        // 4 append clone to droppable
        $( this ).append(
          // 1 clone draggable helper
          $(ui.helper).clone()

          // 2 make the clone draggable
          .draggable({
             containment:"#table",
            snap: "#drop_here td" 
          })
          // 3 make the clone resizable
          .resizable());

//HERE IS MY PROBLEM IN CODE
        $(".draggable").hover(function() {
    $(this).append("<div class='line'></div>");
}, function() {
    $(this).removeClass("line");
});
      }
    });
  });

but dont work!

The first problem is that your css has a , insted of a ;

.line { 
  display: none;
  width: 5px; 
  height: 200px;
  background: red;
}

Then for the jquery modify like this: 

$('.draggable').hover(function(){
    $(this).find('.line').show();
}, function() {
    $(this).find('.line').hide();
});

In your markup place a .line (only one) just after every .draggable, but not on hover or it will append it every time you hover the .draggable creating tons of .lines

if you only want to add the line to the clone add the start property to the draggable options like this:

$( ".draggable" ).draggable({
  revert: 'invalid', 
  helper:"clone",
  snap: "#drop_here td", 
  opacity: 0.7,
  start: function(event, ui){
    var clone = $(ui.helper);
    if (clone.children('div.line').length == 0)
        clone.append("<div class='line'></div>");
  }
});

Tested this and it works like a charm.. Dont forget to remove this part:

    $(".draggable").hover(function() {
         $(this).append("<div class='line'></div>");
    }, function() {
         $(this).removeClass("line");
    });

You have to bind the .hover() in the document ready like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
      $(".draggable").hover(function() {
          $(this).append("<div class='line'></div>");
      }, function() {
          $(this).children('.line').remove();
      });
});

Your "hover out" handler removes the class from $(this) -- not from the appended child.

It's probably bad practice to dynamically create elements on hover, that are never deleted & will presumably gradually fill the document with garbage.
