I want to change the mouse pointer on an event but it is not changing. Debugger shows that the event is firing but there is also not any problem with code there, is any?

JavaScript

this.top = $('#rootDiv_' + root);

this.top.mouseenter(function () {
            this.top.style.cursor = "pointer";
        });

Oh! I found the solution while posting it but post the question to give the solution others. I just followed 'this' in 'mouseenter' event and found that 'this' is already the div 'top'. Then why should I tell 'this' to select the 'top'. Then I obsolete the 'top' and the final code is:

JavaScript

this.top = $('#rootDiv_' + root); //Saves the created div in top.

this.top.mouseenter(function () {
            this.style.cursor = "pointer";
        });
