delay() or timeout with stop()?

Question

$(\'.file a\').live(\'mouseenter\', function() {
    $(\'#download\').stop(true, true).fadeIn(\'fast\');
}).live(\'mouseleave\', function() {
    $(\'#download\').st         


        

Answer 1

Use a setTimeout function

$('.file a').live('mouseenter', function() {
setTimeout(function(){
    $('#download').stop(true, true).fadeIn('fast');
}, 1000);
}).live('mouseleave', function() {
    $('#download').stop(true, true).fadeOut('fast');
});

setTimeout will execute the code inside the function after the specified miliseconds (in this case 1000).
