How can i get the $(this) in the setTimeout to get the hover function’s selector in the case below img.

$("img").hover(function(){
window.setTimeout(function() {  
    $(this).addClass("hovering"); // add class .hovering to the exact img being hovered
}, 500);

Answer 1

Put this in some other variable.

$("img").hover(function() {
    var $this = $(this);

    window.setTimeout(function() {  
        $this.addClass("hovering"); // add class .hovering to the exact img being hovered
    }, 500);  
});
