Show <li> dynamically using jQuery hover

Question

I am trying to create a dynamic <ul> such that when I hover of a <li> (the class details), it dynamically creates another <li> (homework for that class) underneath it. I have this working.

However, when I leave the <li> I want the list of homework items to disappear. To accomplish this I decided to remove the <li> of homework items when I leave that <li> . The problem is that if I never hover into that homework list and simply just hover in and out of the class item details, it will not disappear. I am new to jQuery and so I may be missing something simple.

Before any hover

Hover into first class item

When I move the mouse out of the item, I want the items to disappear

But I want to maintain the functionality that when I hover into the homework list, it doesn't disappear:

And when I hover out of the homework list, it disappears (currently does this)

Here is my code:

jQuery.js

$(document).ready(function() {

    $(".item").hover(
        function(){
            $(this).find('.class-item').find('.top').css("background", "#D0D0D0");
            $(this).find('.class-item ').find('.bottom').css("background", "#B8B8B8");
            $(this).css("border-color", "white");

            $(this).css("margin-bottom", "0");

            $('#classes li:eq(' + $( "li" ).index(this) + ')').after('<li class="hw"><ul><li class="hw-item">Homework 1</li><li class="hw-item">Homework 2</li></ul></li>');

            var parent = $(this);

            $(".hw").hover(
                function(){
                }, 
                function(){
                    parent.css("margin-bottom", "2%");

                    $('#classes li:eq(' + ($( "li" ).index(parent) + 1) + ')').remove();
                }
            );

        }, 
        function(){

            $(this).find(' .class-item ').find(' .top ').css("background", "#B8B8B8");
            $(this).find(' .class-item ').find(' .bottom ').css("background", "#D0D0D0");
            $(this).css("border-color", "#888888");
        }
    );
});

Answer 1

Thanks to the comments on my post, I was able to avoid the javascript and do it solely through css using:

.class-item {
    height: 150px;
    width: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    border: 5px solid #888888;
}

.homework {
    padding: 1%;
    display: none;
}

.class-item:hover + .homework {
    display: block;
}

.homework:hover {
    display: block;
}
