Question

In Javascript, I want my onmouseout event to sleep/pause/wait/ (not sure of the proper terminology here) for three seconds before taking effect. How is that accomplished?

thanks

Answer 1

function outfunction(event) {     var that = this; // to be able to use this later.     window.setTimeout(function() {         …     /* you can use 'that' here to refer to the element        event is also available in this scope */     }, 3000); }
