Use hover event with addClass and removeClass methods:

$("#searchput").hover(function() {
    $(this).addClass("cfse_a");
}, function() {
    $(this).removeClass("cfse_a");
});

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/G23EA/

$('#searchput').hover(function() {
  $(this).addClass('cfse_a'); // add class when mouseover happen
}, function() {
  $(this).removeClass('cfse_a'); // remove class when mouseout happen
});

You can also use:

$('#searchput').hover(function() {
  $(this).toggleClass('cfse_a');
});

see toggleClass()

DEMO

  $("#searchput").hover(function() {
     $(this).addClass("cfse_a");
     }, function() {
   $(this).removeClass("cfse_a");
   });

Use it.hope it help !

Hope this helps.

$('#searchput').mouseover(function() {
    $(this).addClass('cfse_a');
}).mouseout(function(){
    $(this).removeClass('cfse_a');
});
