Javascript onHover event

Question

Is there a canonical way to set up a JS onHover event with the existing onmouseover, onmouseout and some kind of timers? Or just any method to fire an arbitrary function if

Answer 1

I don't think you need/want the timeout.

onhover (hover) would be defined as the time period while "over" something. IMHO

onmouseover = start...

onmouseout = ...end

For the record I've done some stuff with this to "fake" the hover event in IE6. It was rather expensive and in the end I ditched it in favor of performance.
