I'd like to add a timeout to this tooltip code so it only displays if the mouse hovers over it after a while rather than immediately... I tried adding the `setTimeout()` but I could not figure out how to use the `clearTimeout()` so the tooltip does not hide on mouseout. Can you help?
// -----------------------------------------------
// TOOLTIP MOUSE HOVER
// -----------------------------------------------
function mcTooltip() {
$('.mcTxb').mousemove(function(e) {
var mcHoverText = $(this).attr('alt');
var mcTooltip = $('.mcTooltip');
$(mcTooltip).text(mcHoverText).show('fast');
$(mcTooltip).css('top', e.clientY + 10).css('left', e.clientX + 10);
}).mouseout(function() {
var mcTooltip = $('.mcTooltip');
$(mcTooltip).hide('fast');
});
}
mcTooltip();
I tried this:
// -----------------------------------------------
// TOOLTIP MOUSE HOVER
// -----------------------------------------------
function mcTooltip() {
$('.mcTxb').mousemove(function(e) {
var mcHoverText = $(this).attr('alt');
var mcTooltip = $('.mcTooltip');
setTimeOut(function(){
$(mcTooltip).text(mcHoverText).show('fast');
}, 300);
$(mcTooltip).css('top', e.clientY + 10).css('left', e.clientX + 10);
}).mouseout(function() {
var mcTooltip = $('.mcTooltip');
$(mcTooltip).hide('fast');
});
}
mcTooltip(); Why not just remove the "mouseout" callback?
