Solution

Since all your selectable items have a class .ui-widget-content, this can be achieved easily using the :hover pseudoselector:

.ui-widget-content:hover {
    background-color: orange;
}

If you want to handle the hover event in JavaScript, use something like:

$(".ui-widget-content").hover(function() {
    //what to do on hover
}, function() {
    //what to do when hover ends
});

OTHER TIPS

The Selectable plugin is automatically adding the class "ui-selectee" to all the Selectable objects and this why you can use:

.ui-selectee:hover {
    background-color: orange;
}

$('#selectable li').hover(function(){
//CODE HERE
});

All the li in selectable gets the hover function.
