Add delay to mouseleave in jquery

Question

I\'m using this code in my site and I was wondering how I could add a delay to the mouseleave function

$target.mouseenter(function(e){
                var $t         


        

Answer 1

You can use setTimeout() and an anonymous function for this:

$target.mouseleave(function(e){
 var $tooltip=$("#"+this._tipid);
 setTimeout(function() { ddimgtooltip.hidebox($, $tooltip); }, 250);
})

This would delay it 250ms after leaving before it hides, you can just adjust that value as needed.
