Good suggestion, however it won't work in browsers which don't support :hover. If you need to take it further...

Start with:

.nodehover {
  background: #FFFF00;
}

and add this:

<script>
$(".node").hover(
  function () {
    $(this).addClass('.nodehover');
  }, 
  function () {
    $(this).removeClass('.nodehover');
  }
);
</script>
I havent tested this, but barring syntax errors, it should work.

Do it in css

.node:hover {
  background: #FFFF00;
}

or you could do it on .content. 
I use this method on forms, it tells people when to click to get the cursor in 
and once its there I use :focus so they know where they are in the form. eg
.form-textarea {
  background-color: #EEE;
  border: 1px solid #888;
  font-size:11px;
}
.form-textarea:focus {
  background-color: #FFC;
  border: 1px solid #F88;
}
.form-textarea:hover {
  background-color: #FFC;
}
