    Hi.
    I have put this script in "Custom <head> content" but only the " 'a' links" of nav change the color of body background. The others " 'a' links" in the "#main-region" don't work.

    Seems there is a problem between the dynamic content loading and my event jquery, right?

    <script>
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery("a").hover(function(){
    jQuery("body").css('background-color','red');
    });
    jQuery("a").mouseleave(function(){
    jQuery("body").css('background-color','white');
    });});
    </script>

      Hey baumiao!
      Right you are :)

      Try it like this:

      <script>
      jQuery(document).on("mouseenter", "a", function(){
      jQuery("body").css("background-color", "red");
      });
      
      jQuery(document).on("mouseleave", "a", function(){
      jQuery("body").css("background-color", "black");
      });
      </script>
      

      You see, I'm writing it a bit differently, doing so called "delegated" event binding. Here is a description about it:
