I am trying to activate the native hover effect of a div from another div. I understand that I could do this all in jQuery and add the styles in there, but would rather leave the native :hover in the CSS. I'm just wondering if there is a way for this to work:

$("#div1").live("mouseenter", function() {
  $("#div2").trigger("mouseenter");
});

I'd like to call it by doing something like this, but it isn't working. Is there really no way to trigger an event from another element's event?

Thanks in advance.
