I have a menu and jquery-code, which makes its background-image different when hover.

```
       $('#menu a').hover(function() {
            $(this).css( 'background', 'url(images/slider_bg_hover.png) repeat-x' );                     
       },function(){
            $(this).css( 'background', 'url(images/slider_bg.png) repeat-x' );
       });

```

It works fine, but now I want to highlight clicked menu:

```
$('#menu a').click(function() {
   $(this).css( 'background', 'url(images/slider_bg_hover.png) repeat-x' );
});

```

It works fine too, but after clicking I move my mouse-pointer from menu-area and hover-action calls! So that part of menu is unhiglighted!

What can u advice me?
