How can I delay a CSS change in jquery? Here is my code:

Check that one out what I am doing is assigning the timeout to a variable and then clearing it on mouseover, so it wont fire if you do a mouse over quickly.

$("document").ready(function() {
    var imgTimeout;

    $("img").hover(
        function() {
            clearTimeout(imgTimeout);
            $(this).css('z-index','1000');
    },
    function() {
        var element = $(this);
        imgTimeout = setTimeout(function(){element.css('z-index','1');}, 1000); 
    });
});
