jQuery Effects Bounce Issue. - Wont Stop Bouncing!

[bilco]

Hi all.
I am trying to stop this script from continually running whilst to mouse is over the link.
I have tried using '.stop()', but to no avail. Perhaps i'm putting in the wrong place?

I would like the script to run just the once whilst the mouse is over the link.
Also, is their a way to stop the script 'cuing', if the mouse were to pass over the link a few times?

Can anyone offer advice on this?

All input will be greatly received.

Many thanks,
Bil

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
   
$('li').hover(function() {
        $(this).effect("bounce", { times:0 }, 100);
        }, function () {
});

  });
  </script>

Hi there,

I ws trying to do something like this too, but I couldn't get the bounce to behave in a consistent manner. I ended up doing an animate, it's not really a bounce, but the effect looks good enough for my application:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('.bounceLink').hover(
                function() {
                    $(this).animate({ bottom: '10px', height: '65px' }, 'fast');
                },
                function() {
                    $(this).animate({ bottom: '0', height: '65px' }, 'fast');
                });
        });
    
	</script>
