What is wrong with this simple jQuery code?

What is wrong with this jquery code, the error received on IE is

Message: Expected ';'
Line: 10
Char: 10

All I want is to move the mouse over and have an alter pop-up

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#t').bind('onmouseover',function(){
        target: '#t',
        success: function(){
            alert('test');
            }

    });

});
</script>

<div id="t">testing mouse over</div>

Thanks Dave

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#t').bind('onmouseover',function(){
            alert('test');
     });
});

The target and success code you put into your code is simply invalid. The second argument for the bind function must take a function as an argument, and what you wrote was attempting to pass it an object literal, and not even succeeding at that.

It's syntactically incorrect. Your call to "bind" should take a function as its second argument, but you've got the syntax of functions and that of object literals jumbled up. I don't know what you want to do so I can't really say how to correct it.

Here's how you'd do an alert on mouseover:

$('#t').bind('mouseover', function(ev) {
  alert('test');
});

Also note that you leave off the "on" in the event name.
