How to store the ID of the object being hovered
<p>I have this bit of code:</p>

<pre><code>$('.div').mouseover(function() {
   alert(this.id);
});
</code></pre>

<p>This gets me the ID of the object that I'm hovering, but I'd like to store it in a variable. I'm not sure how to do this; I know this is probably overly simple, but can someone help? Thanks! </p>
