How to trigger jQuery hover() when cursor is on top of the target?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

jQuery hover() works correct, when the mouse moves from outside to inside the target, and the other way around. But when the mouse is exactly on top of the target hover() does not trigger anything.



Use case: Cursor is in middle of the window and the page loads an element in the middle, there is no mousing in our out of the element happening.



How can mouseenter be triggered when the mouse is over the target?



And some code (although this question is more conceptual):



function showControls() {
$('#controls').show();
}

function hideControls() {
$('#controls').hide();
}

$('.panel').hover(showControls, hideControls);


And the HTML:



<div class='panel'>
<div id='controls'>
<button>Del</button>
</div>
</div>
