How do i fire a click continuously while something is hovered?

Question

Im pretty sure this has a simple solution. I am using jCarousellite, and i want to change the behaviour of built in nav buttons to fire on hover over.

Answer 1

var nav = function() {
  $("#carousel .btn-down").click(); // next move
  $("#carousel").data(
    'hover', 
    window.setTimeout(nav, 1000); // continue in 1000 ms
  );
};
$("#carousel .btn-down").hover(
  nav,
  function() {
    window.cancelTimeout ($("#carousel").data('hover')); // stop the navigation
  }
);
