In Javascript, I want my onmouseout event to sleep / pause / wait / (not sure about the correct terminology here) for three seconds before taking effect. How is this achieved?
functionoutfunction(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);
}
var doSomething = function () {
//Some code will here after 3 seconds of mouseout
};
anElement.onmouseout = function () {
setTimeout(doSomething, 3000);
};
What the above code does is execute the function doSomething
