jQuery setTimeout

Question

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()

1. Use hover() instead, it's less code (and that's always good, IMO).

Like so:

function mcToolTip() {
    $(".mcTxb").hover(function(){
        // mouseover stuff here
        $("element").delay(3000).show(); // 3 second delay, then show
    }, function(){
        // mouseout stuff here
    });
}
