The jQuery mouseleave() method is an inbuilt method which works when the mouse pointer leaves the selected element.
Syntax:
$(selector).mouseleave(function)
Parameters: This method accepts single parameter function which is optional. It is used to specify the function to run when the mouseleave event is called.
