Recently came across the HoverIntent plugin for jQuery. It acts like a regular mouseover or hover observer, but waits to fire the action until/if the mouse slows down or rests. With tuning, it makes for interfaces that feel more human responsive.
The website I’d like to use it on is committed to a Prototype / Scriptaculous framework, and I’d very much like to not add jQuery to the mix.
Is there an equivalent way of achieving this behavior in Prototype / Scriptaculous, either natively or with an additional script?
http://spuntinu.net/insert-a-delay-on-large-drop-down-menu-with-prototype/ used to do the trick.
Now, see http://backfromcamden.net/insert-a-delay-on-large-drop-down-menu-with-prototype/
